What about "the bob" is anyone using that?

I've been looking at Joe Watson Knives. What is HiTS?
-"Flat chisel grind with reinforced point. The point is reinforced to resist breakage when penetrating dense barriers, while the main bevel is ground lean for exceptional cutting performance."
What is a dense barrier?
You'll find your best explanation here.
It's the article that convinced me to try it out.
What is your budget? What knife training do you have? These two factors will help determine best options for you.
The Gryphon M10 knife is good.
The Gerber Guardian is a cheap alternative, better with a Bladerigs sheath.
The Spyderco original Street Beat with custom sheath from Rich at Concealed Carry Concepts is a great utility/fighting package.
The Dynamis Alliance Blade made by Dan Winkler is the BEST all around fighting knife/sheath system I have found.
I carry off-side at the 9-10:00 o'clock position, edge forward.
Sheath selections are just as important as the blade itself.
FYI: Chisel grinds, recurve grinds, etc... are not optimal. A properly flat ground blade will cut much better and is more useful.

Sorry, missed the thread. During my career as a cop, I saw a lot of stabbing victims. The one thing that struck was the folks who were put down the hardest were those who were stabbed with deep penetration injuries rather than those who were cut. I also saw that a lot of the penetration injuries were prevented by things like clothing, hard objects like belt buckles or other barriers, and bone. Having a reinforced tip helps get through these things into where large blood moving vessels are. The way the Hits is designed, it also allows for a thinner cutting edge that helps making cuts more efficient.
Hope this helps.
