It was the hunting knife that was invented first, not the combat knife . Hunting knives over time began to look more sophisticated and status. Various types of handles and blades are made with subtle design elements. However, for true experts, the main criterion remains its functionality.

Yawara - a short stick-knuckles for poking, sometimes sharpened on one or both sides. This weapon comes from Japan, there are legends that its progenitor was a pestle for grinding seasonings, and it was used by ninjas or Buddhist monks, artisans, peasants and other contingents deprived of the right to carry weapons.

2.3. Classification of knives according to the shape of the blade. 
1. With a smooth butt. The blade is designed for cutting and piercing with the tip.
2. With a lowered butt line (drop-point). The pointed blade is located on the axis of the force stop during the injection. It has excellent cutting and piercing properties. Sometimes the blade is additionally sharpened on the front of the butt to facilitate cutting objects and materials.
3.With a raised butt line (trailing-point). A knife with such a blade has the longest blade. Great for cutting soft objects.
4.Bowie blade. The butt has the shape of a “pike”, the bevel brings the tip closer to the edge of the force stop during piercing. Often the bevel of the butt is sharpened.
5. Goat-leg blade with straight blade for precise, targeted cutting. Such a knife is safe due to the lack of a sharp tip. Often they are used by professionals in their field: chefs, gardeners, electricians.
6. "American tanto " - a blade like the Japanese dagger of the same name, borrowed and converted by the Americans. Recently, the option of "sharpening with a chisel" has gained popularity. This form is widely used in combat knives .
7. Blade in the form of a spear with a point in the middle. Designed primarily for punctures rather than cuts.
2.4. Classification of knives according to the shape of the handle.
Handles come in a wide variety of shapes and materials, each with its own advantages, disadvantages, and are often designed to grip the hand.
- Lightweight wood handle gives good grip and warmth to the hand, but is harder to care for. They are not moisture resistant, so they can crack or deform with prolonged exposure to water. Many beautiful and exotic wood species are used as raw materials for the manufacture of the handle. Modern materials and coatings largely overcome these problems. Currently, in some countries, commercial food establishments are prohibited from using knives with wooden handles for health reasons.
- Plastic handles require less attention than wooden handles, but become slippery and brittle after prolonged use.
- Injection-molded handles are made of high-strength plastics such as polyphthalamide, reinforced with Kevlar or fiberglass. Such technologies are often used by large manufacturers.
- Leather handles can often be seen on hunting and officer knives . They are made by stacking leather washers. The case is often equipped with notches and windings for a secure grip.
- Stainless steel handles are durable and hygienic, but can be slippery. To counteract this, finger grooves are made in them, providing a good grip. Metal handles serve as a heat conductor. They can be very uncomfortable and painful to use without gloves in very cold or hot climates.
More exotic materials are usually used in the art of ritual knives: stones, bones, walrus tusks, horns of deer, rams, buffalo, and mother-of-pearl.
Handles can be adapted to the needs of people with disabilities. For example, the handle may be thicker or with extra cushioning for people with arthritis in their hands.
2.5. Classification of edged weapons according to materials and manufacturing methods.
Metals and other materials used to make blades naturally have their pros and cons:
A carbon steel knife is less durable but highly resistant to corrosion. To cover the blade, several types of metal are used, layered on top of each other. For example, brittle steel can be pinched by a tougher outer layer and vice versa.
The ceramic knife is lightweight and maintains its sharpness for many years without any maintenance. But there is a drawback: it is fragile like glass and can chip when dropped on a hard surface. The blade is corrosion resistant and can only be sharpened with carbide, silicon and some grinding wheels.
Forged knives are made by heating a single piece of steel. The product is formed in a hot state using a hammer or a press. Once formed, the steel must be heat-treated, which involves heating it past its critical point and solidifying (after the blade has cooled and hardened).
2.6. Classification of knives by the presence of elements
The cutting edge can be smooth, serrated (serrated), or a combination of both. Some types of edged weapons may have edges on the back, occupying part of the butt. These edges are usually serrated and are used to enhance functionality. For example, on the blades of hunting knives, there is a special notch on top for trimming tendons, as well as a bloodstream.
The handle used for gripping and safe manipulation may have a tang in it - the part of the blade that fits into the handle. Shanks are:
partial (the blade enters a certain length) and
full (pass through the entire handle, sometimes visible from above and below).
The handle can be equipped with a metal support located on the front or back of it. A support is used to mechanically strengthen the knife at its maximum stop.
3. Sheath
Sheaths are necessary to prevent injuries and damage to objects that interact with the knife during storage or transfer. Another purpose of the scabbard is to protect the blade from rust and other types of corrosion.
There are two main types of scabbards:
Classic - a case that usually comes with a knife . There is a special suspension for wearing and fastening on a belt. The clasp prevents it from falling out. The main advantage of such scabbards is that the material used is very little.
Special ones have additional compartments and pockets, they are made for a specific knife, taking into account all its features and shape. The sheath of an army bayonet, for example, is made in the form of a handle for wire cutters.
Materials used to make the scabbard: leather, wood, thermoplastic, nylon, plastic.
The traditional places for carrying scabbards are on the right shin, on the hips, on the belt and under the left armpit.
In order for the sheath not to interfere with movement, they must be attached either low on the hip or on the belt . The tip of the scabbard should be fixed with a special belt - this is necessary for convenient removal of the knife .
Placing a knife on a belt involves fastening to the belt to the left of the buckle on a flexible loop. You need to be careful not to allow contact with the groin. This method of wearing is suitable for small and weighty specimens.
On the lower leg , the scabbard should fit snugly against the body to prevent impacts on the leg and unwanted sounds. Additional fastening is not necessary, you can insert the sheath directly into the boot or high boot .
Carrying under the arm refers to the hidden-civilian methods. In this case, the handle of the weapon is located at the bottom for a comfortable and quick grip. When walking and normal movements, the weapon remains invisible.
