Coming from someone who knife fights on a regular basis, I would say that I've stacked up the most quick kills with my Boker Magnum Khucom. All kidding aside for the price this is one exceptional fighting knife. Though one is best off trying to avoid a knife fight, there may come a time when some guy across the street looks at you cross eyed and you need to immediately close the distance and start stabbing and slicing. The blade incorporates two long time proven designs (Kukri), and (Tanto). The belly and overall curve of the blade is a kukri with slightly less of a bend which will promote better thrust techniques. The point is similar to a tanto in grind, a little less squared but equally as strong. The blade is 7mm thick (over 1/4 inch) which has it's pro's and con's like being slightly on the heavy side at 19.5 ounces which takes more effort to maneuver thus making it slower overall, but the heft along with the shape of the blade allows almost hatchet powered chops with deep penetrating stabs making this the best so called fighting knife that I have ever swung around.
