There's only one of these...and yeah, it gets outdoor open-carry duty on occasion.

I designed it when *very* pissed off...
 
8" chef Knife

I am a Chef at an old historic hotel and after work I have to walk through a dark alley about 100 yards to my Truck. Good or bad there is a Biker Bar next door so I have always felt the need to keep my 8 inch razor sharp chef knife ready in my knife bag. Sure enough I had to pull out Ol` Painless and the intimidation alone of that knife being held by my hip with the razor edge facing upward turned the rowdy bully away in a second and made everybody else shut the hell up. I believe if it was a psychopath charging me I probably would have thrusted the knife upwards anywhere under his ribcage.
 
An Ottoman "yatagan" short sword would be a formidable weapon. Here's an example of a modernized yatagan:

If we're getting into things as bulky as a Yagatan.

A freakin' Camp Hachet. Catch that in the face and call it wimpy. I dare you.
 
That Wasp Injector knife is long on handle selection, but woefully short on info about the blade and the price per unit. Gruesome injecting ability aside, what steel is used in the blade? It is of practical use as a regular knife?
 
Wasp Injector

Ok, that's Bond-movie freaky. I'm not sure how well it would work since the nasty wound might leak gas, but it certainly wouldn't do your innards any good.:uhoh:
 
My first choice of weapon would not be a knife. I'd also evaluate the avoidance possibilities. I can't carry a knife big enough to make me WANT to be involved in a knife fight.
 
In the golden days of muscle powered weaponry swords and especially knives were usually backup weapons and the infantryman's main weapon would be either a pole arm or a projectile weapon. The Roman legions might be the big exception, since many of them carried a 2 foot sword as a main weapon. Of course, they depended on well drilled formations to make that work.
Given the choice today, I would take a bow over a halberd or spear, halberd or spear over a sword, and a sword over a knife. Warfare tends to winnow out what's effective pretty quickly.
