I am not a fan on USING blades that have a recurve to them. On defensive blades I like them quite well as they will help you "Stay in the cut" as the forward "Belly" will sort of catch what ever is is you are cutting and not let it slip out the way a more conventional straight blade will, or can.

Just me. Nothing wrong with recurves, I just prefer them on smaller or folder defensive blades.
