Would gut hook knives be more effective as fighting knives?

I have a hawkbill knife which is the opposite of a gut hook knife. But mostly used for the same purpose for gutting an animal. I used to use mine primarily to skin wire with. My particular knife is too short and too small to be of any use at all in a fight and even if I had something like a Gurkha or kambata. The gurkhas have a good history but they’re more like a machete than anything else. The best knives for a knife fight other than the Bowie knife which was more of a gladicus considering it was at least 18 in Long. And very comparable to a machete. Originally made from a file because the fellow wanted something he could kill a Bull with effectively. This is kind of a heavy knife to be traveling around with. More of a sword than a knife. The next you look at martial artists who use knives what’s up with you I was throwing knives with started out as darts and then turned into knives the Zulu Spears which was short Spears that they use to stab with very similar to a knife. The Filipino balisong and silet style knives. Most combat knives are like a Scottish Dirk they’re not use so much to fight with as they’re used for everything else. Like a Swiss Army knife. The Boy Scouts weapon of choice is actually a hatchet. And a staff which I always thought was funny. I think the three knives maybe five knives that I would would use in modern-day combat. Would be a Cook’s knife a fillet knife or Cleaver. Cleavers are made to go through bone they’re short knives which means you have to get really close they are not made for stabbing. But chopping and in that use they are very effective. A fillet knife is razor sharp it’s easy to break but I’ve actually seen some go through cans if you can wrap a blade around the bone lightning fast and take all of the muscle off of it. I think that’s a dangerous knife especially if the tip is strong enough to penetrate a tin can or even a steel one. Cook’s knives are little bit bigger a little bit more durable I’m probably a combination of the two but not as good as either one. A gut knife unless you’re trying to gun an animal it’s a waste of your time I don’t even recommended for that for the simple fact there other knives that can do that that job as well or better. Most knives like a Rambo survival knife or Ka-Bar or other types of combat knives and I never can seem to think of what the Green Berets life is called or the seals knife is called these things are made for multitask purposes just like the Swiss Army Knife Only with little bit more combat intent. The closest cheap thing you can find you as a fighting knife is a machete. If you’re walking down the street with machete you will stick out look like a sorethumb. Where I live I think the legal limit for a knife is 6 inches however a fillet knife is used for fishing and it’s perfectly legal. Now are you using this thing for self-preservation are you trying to fight off Bears or raccoons lions tigers or something excetera or are you planning on attacking something? If I had to get in a knife fight with someone I would want a dueling knife a knife designed for that purpose and I will probably put a rope on the end of it and throw it at them. By having a rope on the end now you’re knife has much more reach you can use it at greater distances. But if wishes were fishes we would all be fishing. A gut knife is a waste of your time. It’s only good if you’re gutting something.
