I really don't understand why anyone other than an active military guy would want a fighting knife, even pulling one in self defense requires some explaining in a court of law.
I'd sooner have blades I can use for Bushcraft,Camp use etc.
Come on bro...you're a good man, offer a little flexibility for your breathren.
There are many walks in life. Many folks only collect, never using their blades. Many never bushcraft, nor ever go camping and don't see a need for those designs. Many never set foot in the woods. Many never process animals and don't need knives for those purposes. Many don't cook and don't need food processing knives. Many don't fight (or wouldn't use a knife for such) and don't need those knives. Many are not ninjas (I am...but I'm speaking on behalf of others) and have no need for a sword. Many do not believe in hurting trees (poor trees), and don't believe in needing a chopper. Many think neck knives are ridiculous, and thus don't want those designs. Many want Full tang...many do not. Many want heft...many want light weight. Many want FAT...many want skinny. Many are investors...and they buy for the potential increase in value. Many like strippers (me me me!) and they pull the coating off their knives...while others think we're silly for removing the corrosion protection coating supplied by the manufacturer. Many like black, many like sage, many like camo, many like orange....Lazi likes Green <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
