Cold Steel Tai Pan is slicey, dicey and not too pricey. But for a budget double edged knife Cold Steel's OSS is a viable alternative.

I'm not much for trailing points, but plus 1 for stabby and slicey. Here's a couple that fill that bill for me.
Had a couple of the CRKTs and have thought about the Ti Lite.
Only a bit...I tend to prefer the 4-5" range...had an old...Peace Keeper? Regret selling that one.

Drop point is the pattern that checks almost all boxes. A great allrounder. No wonder it's the pattern of most hunting knives.I'm not much for trailing points, but plus 1 for stabby and slicey. Here's a couple that fill that bill for me.

Daggers are certainly cool if you like knives, but they have little practical use other than to stab things.To me, pretty much all daggers are a disappointment for any slicer work, They have a Coolfactor on my M1 etc.. other than that,, Ive never had to stab any people And I hope to avoid it
My first thought when I saw this thread yesterday was.... Ahhhhh.... dagger thread, not interested.... Opened the thread and you know, I also like my knives a little stabby as I like the clip and saber shapes the best. The full bodied drop point doesn't have much appeal to me to use, even hunting and skinning.
I thought about my favorite knives and they are all pretty much a bit stabby. Last spring I tried to like a GEC #71 Bull Nose slippie..... I tried, really, as everyone raved about them. Well, I honestly don't care for it because it is not stabby. I realized that I really didn't like the knife the first time I tried to open a store clam shell packaging and struggled. I mean..... if I can't easily pierce something like this to open it, why do I want the knife in my pocket?
This was also a revelation to me in many ways and I have pretty much stopped buying slippies that do not have clip blades anymore (with some spear points tossed in). I do like my SAK however as the spear point is stabby enough for me.

Or...
Old School, false-edge dagger grinds. Not at all slicey, but very stabby. Plus that ATS34 gets wicked sharp.
Never seen those before...very cool!

Nice knives!! I have always preferred a blade with a keen tip, or if a multi blade, at least one of those blades needs to be pointy. Good for picking out splinters lol.
Tell me about that second one up on the right. Looks like that would be a dandy bird and trout knife.

From the looks of these knives I have...I'm a step away from buying at the area jails..."You know who makes the best toothbrush shanks? Joey...you need one of his for your collection."
Any other fans of the shankariffic knives?
None of these are knives I would think I like but I see several that really grab my eye despite being completely opposite from my usual style, could you list the 4 fixed blades on the bottom left and right?

You specialise in posting Cold Steel videos while offering no comment. Is Man with no name also Man with no words?
I, for one, have no interest in sitting through excruciatingly awful Cold Steel marketing videos. What is your interest?
