I'm a newby, so please be gentle...
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the blade designs I see in folders and fixed knives? There's the Tanto-type and the good old Arkansas Toothpick dagger, and spear points and clip points.
I've also heard references to defensive use knives and offensive use knives. Is there really a difference? Seems if I can disable and otherwise stop the aggression the BG starts by using one type of knife, that same knife would be useful for silently taking out the BG's sentries when approaching to free my kidnapped kid (start Arnold S. "Commando" delusions now...)
And yes, I do plan to supplement my empty-hand defensive training with more weapons training.
Thanks!
