It's funny how you say you don't want to anger people, yet in your first post you say you know you will anger people, but want to do it anyway. Here's a pic of one of my favorite apple peeling knives:

I think what Yaquina Kid may have been trying to say in his original post is that perhaps knife knuts and the knife industry should be more careful of the image they project and get away from terms like "combat" and "fighting". He might be arguing that such names promote knives incorrectly as weapons first and tools second. He my also be trying to make the point that down the road these names could result in more knife-related violence and ultimately a bad name for knives and knife people. My two cents.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Yaquina Kid:
...I simply do not understand some of the things I read both in knife magazines and on these type of boards about "fighting knives", or "combat knives". I think these terms will only get us in trouble.</font>
<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Second, what I see all the time at work, as well as read about in professional publications, are people with knives pulling them because they are angry with someone or because they have been punched by someone, neither of which justifies the use of deadly force</font>
