in combat within 10 feet you can kill someone quicker with a knife than with a semi-auto handgun (assuming the handgun bearer is unprepared), so i was wondering what kinda knives are used, or preferred by yourselves. i don't own a rifle but was the only one in my group to score full marks with an air rifle at 1 inch targets at 25 yards (this was with cadets who use sa-80s every other week, and we all used the same gun and were in the same conditions), so don't really know much about proper rifles, but have much respect for those elite snipers that do.
do you prefer tapered or full tang fixed blades for their no-nonsense approach, or the compactness of a folder? any thoughts on the thumb screw to aid opening of a folder, but also, kinda gets in the way. i have a special appreciation of metalwork and knives, and especially japanese swords, items of outstanding workmanship and quality. the s&w swat knife seems fairly good, but i've found knives retailing at around or less than $50 tend to lose their rigidity at the hilt, maybe some recommendations as to a good knife, folder or otherwise?
