Cheapo -

I am no expert on knives, however I just returned from a knifed combatives class, where I found out just how much I did not understand about the differences in knife blade design. The class discussed very quickly the different blade designs, and how they play in the various techniques.

I came away with two major things, besides the training. One I now prefer a fixed blade over a folder for defensive carry on a regular basis. Two I prefer a dual grind over the chisel grind.

If you don't already read Tactical Knives, it is also a good source of information in this area.

You should checkout TFL's sister site, www.bladeforums.com in addition to this post, they probably have a thread on fixed vs folder that answers most of your questions.

Sorry I could not help more, but I am by no means an expert.
