There are several questions that need answering before determining which knife style is best for you.
What is the intended use of the blade?
What style of fighting are you trained in?
How long a blade can you legally carry in your area of operation?
Can you carry double edged blades?
Will you use the knife as a utility piece as well, or confine it to defense/offense use?


Just about any blade can be used for a defensive piece, but when it comes to active offense as a primary tactic, the designs become more and more refined, and are usually considered "Deadly Weapons" by the law.

The clip points and tantos generally have the strongest points, but do not penetrate quite as well as the double edged versions.
There is a lot more, but I will get into it when I ahve a better idea of what you intend to accomplish with the knife.
