XD well it's deffinatly a defensive blade ment for short rapid jabs and slashes

Actually from videos I have seen online and from what I have seen demoed at the con you CAN slice 3 inches into skin effectively cutting muscles and repeated laceration I believe will eventually hit arteries and veins. The thing I figure I use it for is to uppercut and pierce through the jaw and hit the tounge that way after a twist and yank there will be a major hole for them to bleed from or if your lucky like all good knife fighters aim for an eye an pierce there frontal lobe if the impact doesn't give them instantaneous death at least there depth perception would be out

Aaah and I babbled on like a stone crazy idiot lol

That all works only if your skilled and the opponent is not skilled or taken off gaurd by your initial attack. Believe me when a person is using a weapon they know very little about or are up against someone way more skilled, you will fail or worse.

That's why you practice and or use a few dirty tricks. Me personally I like to go for the eyes get them off valence and bring home the last move to put them out quick. Especially when faced with multiple assclowns
