Fighters

I emailed a knife maker today asking about kitchen knives but he responded that he prefers fighters over kitchen and utility knives which got me wondering what do people use them for? They can't all be martial artists and it sounds expensive to put it on a shelf somewhere.

 

Dunno. Zombie apocalypse? I have a "bushcraft" knife (SOG Team Leader), a fillet knife for big fish (that I've yet to catch), and a folding knife (Spyderco Pacific Salt) for all my other outdoor needs (cleaning fish and cutting string). I have no real use for a purpose-made "fighter." I'm a lover, after all. That, and I reckon the Pacific Salt or Team Leader could get the job done if push came to shove.
