Back a century or so ago the gals used hat pins for defense. A 4” hat pin properly used can be deadly.

Even Crocodile Dundee says it’s a knife.

"That is a serious fighting knife" No, it isn't. I have a dozen EDC knives that would be closer to a fighting knife, and I use them for opening letters or cutting sheetrock. Thumbstud to open. Probably a liner lock.

Serious fighting knives, i.e. knives designed primarily for fighting have a quillon or cross-guard that prevents the holder's hand from sliding forward when the blade is thrust into a target. I did hear one source that said karmelo did cut his hand when he stabbed Austin's chest, and looking at the knife it easy to see how that happened.
