well, disregarding all the other issues, especially your authenticity, I don't see why you'd want a folder as your first choice. Offensive concealed knife, should be a fixed blade, and probably about 5 inches long at most for concealability. Silent quick draw would help too, I think an R.J. Martin Kwaiken or Wasabi would do well.
but u seem to be of dubious nature, you'd probably go for the hissatsu by ancient edge, total piece of crap, but it fits your bill, ever see one of their ads? "when a man is defined by his actions" LOL, what a stupid ad, i remember the way the knife was shot down in the review forums some months back LOL.
u want to get REALLY offensive, how about a syringe with a thick needle filled with some form of cyanide? that'd seem pretty awesome.

Just get a BM 42. Any balisong is good, closed it is defensive as well as open. I think someone has been watching too many James Bond movies and just put this post up just for shock value. Get a life.
I first read the initial thread here three days ago, and I have only now stopped laughing enough to be able to write. How about the tried and true technique of being a simple bystander in a subway croud then pushing your "target" in front of the speeding train to make it look like an accident? I hear there are a lot of subways in Singapore, and it has worked for me...OOPS! I think I said too much.
It is my understanding that the Ladyhawk and LaGriffe (one of which I will be getting for my wife, I hope she doesn't slit my throat!) were both designed to primarily attack the forearms to disable the hands, hence the relatively small blades on both, to prevent an attacker from using the blade to gain leverage over the knife and take it from the defender. I have played with a Ladyhawk and it was pretty slow into action because the blade was so buried in the handle. I am no physiologist or master martial artist, but it seems to me the blades on both are AWFUL short for 'shadowy, neck operations'. Of course, standard issue human beings are made a little smaller in Singapore, so maybe there is something to it!

Knives from United Cutlery, or S & W are offensive.
... Should I have said "offending"?

Best offensive edged weapon?
Spetznaz spring knife... I believe it has a range of 20+ yards.

Just got onto this topic.
OFFENSIVE is a legitemate knife topic in my book. But there is a better place on the forum for this topic. The first S/F knives were issued to the troops as a survival tool! PC attitudes MAKES ME MAD as does a million dead in Rowanda. Talking knives does not tell you how to use them. Butterfly and automatic's are banned in the UK because of hype. Millions of F/S Commando knives are sold every year.

Here are my favoured offensive knives. Some are out of production but their design gives you the idea.
Al Mar Shaddow II, a long slim fixed bladed dagger that has the length to penetrate through bulky clothing and to reach deep into the body cavity.
Fairbain Sikes design if made to a high standard.
Applegate design.
The Benchmade Spike is on the short side.
There are better fighting knives, but your question was for offensive use. The above are of little use for anything else.
If undercover then a long screwdriver or fillet knife.

The Benchmade Spike - good for nothing else?
Those guys discontinued the best folding paring knives on the market! Flat-ground to the spine, thin stock, precise point. The full-size Spike is one of the nicest folders to have if you want to make a sandwich or a salad, and the Mini-Spike is probably the best factory folder out there for coring an apple (the greengrocer's kind - I wouldn't know about Adam's!). The sushi chef up the street bought one from me as a decorating knife.
Or maybe he works for the black side of the Sunland-Tujunga Chamber of Commerce.
And Rwanda is graphic and gory proof that the best working knife and the best offensive knife may be the same knife. Upwards of a million murdered, mostly machete work.
