Karambit with a blunted tip. Perfect rescue knife. A wharncliffe with a blunt tip might be close.
A wharncliffe blade about 2-3" long, with enough of a negative blade angle to be an aggressive cutter and slasher but not enough to stop it from being useful on a cutting board would be perfect for general EDC I think. Here is a prototype I have started working on, from a big ol' 1/8" thick sawmill blade:
Okay, so the edge length will be 3.5". I like my EDC blades on the larger side. Still needs to be heat treated and ground. I think I'm going to like this model very much, and will probably make some out of thinner AEB-L stock once I restock on materials and supplies.
