The jagdkommando m48 cyclone isn't the deadliest knife. The Cinquedea? Maybe.

Dog hears pizza and comes on over, give him the pizza Marcus, he heard you say it.

“That’s like a big pizza slice going inside of you”

Doesn’t sound too bad to me, I love pizza

[randylopez]

Agreed, I'm a veterinary Technician at a clinic in an area where animals are impaled in large farm equipment more often then we like. A field harrer has many twisty spikes like this cyclone blade. I think people have a ww2 idea about this weapons killing power compared to modern med. One singles pack of hemapowder would be plenty to stop the bleeding, the tissue damage would take a while to heal but some internal stiching and a bunch of antibiotics would be enough. Being stabbed by a 14in pizza slice, chances are you or your animal will be DOA.

People's immediate thought when trying to justify that knife is "a medic wouldn't be able to suture that in the field". I don't think they realize that a medic isn't going to be throwing sutures into somebody in combat. A medic's job is to stop things that are immediately going to cause death and send them back to the rear for more experienced medical personnel to fix.

Plus the Cinquedea increases the power of beast incantations

Mate really pulled a "that's not a knife... now this is a knoife!"

As a general rule: the deadliest knife is the one that’s inside you

Dog: “DID SOMEONE SAY PIZZA?!”

[LabTech]

That twisty knife is the very definition of 'mall ninja'; it's more about looks and supposed reputation than results. Plus, most things like that are made of low-grade metal that's about appearances than combat ability, to the point that it's deadliest feature is that it'd probably snap off inside the person and be a pain to remove.

[chucktheekid]

Whoever designed that stupid twisty knife has a really good marketing team

[leroyjenkinsreturns]

A six inch blade never looses reception

[nicodemusedwards]

Anybody can make the deadliest knife in the world. Just take a knife and smear some garbage or other nasty, bacteria infested stuff on it. The stab won’t kill you, no. But you’ll wish it did.

[enderkatze]

What a Joke of a knife. Not only is it's wound easier to treat, but it's also Harder to get into the victim in the First place

[cracktact]

-est isn’t even comparative, -er is comparative. -est is superlative.

Looking at him with a slight beard: "He reminds me of something".

Sees him smoothly grab dog's head and press it down: "Oh... OH! That's what he reminds me of".

[TrickinNinja]

Agreed. More blade, more damage.
Just like with arrow heads!
Three smaller cuts are still more survivable than one big cut.
I'm not done looking into this, but you win for now.

[MishaZGreen]

It's deadly because it gives you enough stupid confidence to find out why there are no true winners in a knife fight.

[zackcook]

When I saw it my first thought was "I'd rather have a seax or Bowie knife. More versatile, often longer and probably better at cutting

[swissarmyknight]

The length and width of the cinquedea make it a terrifying thrusting weapon. The width gives it a much greater chance of hitting one or more important structures and the length ensures that it is able to reach the most important structures.

Also, the cinquedea gets bonus points for style.
