There are many good knives mentioned here, any one of them will work. The thing I've noticed about knives is that many people believe that the skill in using one is somehow natural or instinctive and therefore never practice with them. Just like the firearm, you must practice. What works for me is real full power stabs and thrusts against corrugated cardboard targets and also slashing and combination drills using a foam rubber wrapped cardboard tube planted in a sturdy stand or suspended from the ceiling. You face this target and work your grips, stances, and angle of attacks. If you have a partner practice with rubber knives marked with something that will wipe off and leave a "hit" on skin. Carrying two folders and being ambidextrious in employing a edged weapon will gain bonus points in my book.
