It's a stabbing knife, not really made with the intent to slash with a lot of effectiveness [ comparably speaking ]. That's a deal breaker for me personally, I want my blades to be as effective at cutting as well as stabbing. I could make due with this design due to specific training using nothing but stabbing skills, but would prefer to carry something with both excellent stabbing and cutting qualities/effectiveness

Hope that helps.

What if it was longer, much heavier, and the person in possession had popeye forearms for slashing?
