path is just used to dat ghetto crime
i live on the median between a really stuffty neighborhood and a somewhat okay neighborhood. Here you actually need a weapon to keep yourself alive. The only threat op probably faces on a daily basis is the mail being delivered to his doorstep.
Some people are just interested in weapons. If someone was asking what turbocharger would make his car the fastest you probably wouldn't assume he's an illegal street racer
yeah but if the form and function of a car was to kill people, not transport them, I'd still be just as concerned if op asked "which engine makes me drive faster"
What can a knife possibly be used for in this case? He wouldn't be using a curvy blade for his own loving survival, since it's clearly made to cause a certain type of wound. He wouldn't be using it to cut a bush down or carve woodblock because that's loving stupid. What else could he be asking for when he says "hey which blade is more effective?" It's obvious he's looking for lethality over goddamn aesthetic
Maybe he's a professional knife thrower?
