The blades design parameters were for offensive not defensive use. As a killing knife, the double edge daggers are great for stabbing, not so great at slashing due to the blades reduced weight [ double ground ].
They're made with one purpose in mind, stabbing offensively from behind to the kidneys/neck/throat/clavical arteries.
