I'm not sure that this type of knife would function very well as a fighter or an assassin's knife mainly because of the lack of a suitable guard or hand stop.On the other hand,that might go towards explaining why there is no sharp edge on them.The thickness of the blade might make it suitable for stabbing through heavy garments but with the force required to do that would almost make it mandatory to have some type of crossguard.
It really doesn't work very well as a letteropener either!
