>>992858It's a combat utility knife in design. You don't want a massive knife, there is a reason the Kabar USMC, and most other combat knives are around 7" bladed. It's not like you actually use it to fight, you use it for heavy utility, most of the time as a crowbar.
The American Tanto tip is great for combat utility because it's so strong a durable, not really because of the stabbing abilities. Another thing people misunderstand, it has horrible penetration compared to many other designs, but it makes a massive entry wound. Less lethal, but more incapacitating.
