Lean Slicing: Spyderco Military

Beefy: Zero Tolerance 200 or Cold Steel Recon 1

What's your opinion on the Ti-Lite by Coldsteel?

I absolutely love the shape, any other notable stiletto knives I could look at?

I'm not a huge fan of stiletto blades. For a few reasons. First of all the shape is not condusive to anything but piercing. So unless it is a sole self defense tool and the user is very skilled it is very limited. The Ti-lite is well made no doubt but I find it not to be a knife I'd every buy.

Knives to me are tools that need to perform utility tasks well, and to do that more belly is required. So I prefer leaf or drop point blades. If you are set of more spearpoint/dagger grinds maybe the Cold Steel Hold Out 2 or the Counterpoint would be better. more belly in the first choice and the second one has superior ergonomics.
