Any reason for the two options? As an untrained person I would prefer something optimised for stabbing: straight, pointy, sturdy, handguard

You would need to specify a length range for this question. A real fighting knife needs to be fit fit purpose. Those criteria change. An example of this is the change in military bayonets. If you are fighting an opponent with a knife, that changes things. If you are trying to kill an unarmed op...

Tanto for combat

I read an article written by a guy that had to use a knife in a handful of one on one confrontations during the Congolese Army’s strife against M23. He was saying the most effective single knife strike was a fake to the eyes with an empty hand (jab) and a thrust to the chest. I’d have to say Tan...

A knife is meant to be felt. Not seen.

First i'd try to gtfo of there. If that's not an option, i'd rather use the one I trained more with, which is a tanto.

5 dollar harbor freight machete. I also love the advantage of no knife in hand to hand.

For me personally if I had to choose only one knife I’d wanna be able to punch, slash and stab (with some degree of finger protection) https://m.primal.net/KBuW.png

It’s very compact and for some that may be a negative https://m.primal.net/KBuW.png

I love how much engagement this got

Bowie

Bowie, but not an enormous one.

In #UK, we have much experience with this. Frequent users know best! According to #AI: "According to the Metropolitan Police, the most commonly used knife in street crime in the UK is a folding lock-knife . These types of knives are popular among criminals due to their compact size and ease of con...

Bowie, this one. https://image.nostr.build/d8670e091119584c3518b6bfc41c1ec8afa01b8342bd516ce4cd5fb311bed1b5.jpg

Dork Vibes Strong with this one. I’d rather have bo-staff. Cuz I got mad skills.

Given the same blade length, similar hand protection, I would say Bowie over Tanto. The Bowie has a heavier blade for cutting, the Tanto is a stabbing blade. With minimal or no training, cutting is instinctual, (can also incapacitate quickly)...stabbing takes a cool head and more training (but is m...

I would call upon David Bowie to soothe the conflict back to chill.

realistically I'd be using both hands to control the opponents knife rather than grabbing my own though

What ever that one was from crocodile dundee

Id prefer a good pair of shoes.

None

Bowie, cuz of #Bowie #Bowie4ever ⚡

Good running shoes are what I would like, then.

machete or kukuri for me thnx

(not a knife fighting professional, just have learned a lot and have combat training, and enjoy tactical gear and a good blade.) vs bowie… Tanto for a close-combat fighting knife where piercing is important. Plus this is a beautiful blade that will offer aesthetic enjoyment while not fighting. (L...

Best weapon for a knife fight is cardio and a good pair of running shoes.
