Best cutting efficiency?

[fulloflead]

Which blade shape would you think would have the best cutting efficiency with ONE stoke or slash in a soft material like cardboard, fabric or something else?

1. Hawk/hook blade: MT Kestral, CRKT Seahawk, MOD Ladyhawk etc.

2. Cold Steel Nogales clip point like the Vaquero, El Hombre, etc.

3. Recurve: Mt Amphibian, Kershaw Boa, Emerson Commander, etc.

4. Spyderco: Civillian or Matriarch.


I'm voting for the Hawk/hook blade especially with a really sharp plain edge.

As much as I like a hook blade for cardboard it has to be razor sharp for fabric. I was in the drapery business for a long time and I prefered a sharp straight edge like a box cutter or a wharncliff but lacking that I have to go with the recurve for softer materials like fabric.
