THESE KNIVES COME IN QUITE A FEW SHAPES AND TYPES, SINGLE EDGED, DOUBBLE EDGED, CURVED OR STRAIGHT SHARP ON INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OR BOTH SIDES. LEAF SHAPED, SABER SHAPED OR SOME ONLY HAVE A POINT LIKE A NEEDLE. THEY ARE ALL DANGEROUSLY SHARP AS OFTEN A MAN WILL BET EVERYTHING HE HAS ON THE FIGHT. IT IS A MAJOR PASTIME IN MANY PARTS OF THE WORLD MOSTLY AMONG PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE MUCH AND THEY TAKE A LOT OF PRIDE IN HAVING A CHAMPION IN THE FAMILY EVEN IF IT IS A ROOSTER. I AM NEITHER FOR OR AGAINST COCK FIGHTING BUT WILL SAY THAT ON THE FEW OCCASIONS I HAVE SEEN IT THE BIRDS WANT TO FIGHT AND USUALLY DON'T SUFFER AS THEY ARE TOO MAD TO FIGHT TO NOTICE THAY HAVE BEEN KILLED AND USUALLY DIE VERY QUICKLY. SOMEWHAT BARBARIC PERHAPS BUT AT LEAST THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING THEY LIKE AND HAVE A CHANCE OF SURVIVING, THOSE THAT FALL INTO THE GRASP OF TYSON OR COURNEL SAUNDERS HAVE NO CHANCE AT ALL AND PROBABLY SUFFER AS MUCH AS THOSE IN THE RING.
