True. My finger got carried away. Any knife is deadly in the right hands, even my little 1.5 inch (that's the big blade) Buck pocket knife. For knife fighting, I've been trying to decide for some time among the Ka-Bar, the Fairbairn-Sykes, and the rondel. All have something to be said for them, especially as you don't want the grip to slip in your hand if it gets bloody or wet (which leaves out my old Buck General, as the black grip would slide too easily).

As a point of interest, I've used the Buck knife in many other ways, including as a froe for splitting firewood, but it's not really a fighting knife as it stands. I have a sentimental attachment to it, as I bought it when I didn't know if I would be in Vietnam in a month or what and I couldn't afford a .357.
