Martial artists can certainly be scary and proficient with a karambit style blade, but I still prefer and think a better close quarter blade for most of the rest of us is a tanto. Or a big clip point Bowie.

I don't like a tanto, but I have carried my Ontario Hell's Belle in some bars, including my local Hell's Angel bar, but the knife is huge and is a very aggressive open carry, so I really prefer my Glock knife.

I own a Spyderco Civilian that I carried for years and will probably start carrying again, currently I carry a Benchmade Rukus 610. Here is the Civilian

I have a huge blade collection. My second favorite knife is a Nepal made Kukri, then a Gerber Kukri. I agree with you. A big blade has it’s advantages ,but for all around carry, a good sharp 4 inch folding blade can be a life saver.
