Yes, it is 100% a fighting knife.

Yup, only purpose of that knife is to cut people up.
And the only type of guy who buys that type of a knife is someone who psychologically really wants to cut someone up.
And the dirt bag brought that knife to what he knew was going to be a domestic violence confrontation with his wife while children were present.
Wife was scared for her safety, for good reason, the guy had a long standing history of domestic violence and unprovoked felony assaults with deadly weapons, including guns, that easily could have escalated into tragic homicide. She called the police to come save them.
When the police showed up he resisted arrest and assaulted the police - while brandishing that same knife. He entered the car looking for all the world like he was going for a gun.
Reputedly, the vehicle he was trying to enter was filled with children. if he had gotten into the car the police faced and instant hostage situation with children being hostages. or perhaps even a murder suicide scenario
That shooting was totally justified.
