Combat knife 03/13/2016 09:24 AM CDT
I've been reading a novel where the main character uses a simple knife for most of the book, and I've been wondering why DR doesn't have something simply called a combat knife.

We've only got a few daggers, but everything else has a much more specific name and build (stiletto, hawkbill, etc.).

Note: this is about the noun, not fighting knives or combat knives in DR. I'm aware that half or more of the small/light edge templates are knife-size.

If it's about the noun, we have carving knives, which are the same as daggers.

So less "I want a thing that says knife" and more "I want a stabbing template that says knife"?

This used to be my main LE.

There's also been several versions of hunting knives.

I'm not sure I understand but there are a lot of light edged templates with many names.

If you are talking about adjectives that is what alterations are for.

I was under the impression they wanted there to be a knife called "Combat Knife" among the list of things buy-able or craft-able.
