I want to learn the pros and cons and how the various high end knife locks work. Where can I learn this as well as the various blade designs and uses? I am looking for a super strong 4.5 inch fighting knife. Maybe it should have a frame lock, good grip handel such as G10 scales, curved back part of handel for a good grip with some type of front edge to avoid slipage onto the blade, tanto blade half serrated, all black are other non reflective color, with maybe a double lock feature. Anything that fits this description? I want to know what im looking at before I drom 1-700 bucks.

The BEST fighting style knife That CRKT made, IMO is the "Point Guard".

If you have the money to spend this guy could make what you want. His prices start about $400. I have a "Gentleman's Folder" made by him that is Super quality!! I'm sure I could use it as a fighter if needed!
