The Yojimbo 2 is a tactical folder designed by highly regarded knife fighting expert Michael Janich. Prior Janich designs include the BeWharned and the original Yojimbo. With this folder, Janich incorporated all of the best features of the original plus added a few refinements.
Spyderco Yojimbo 2
It uses the highly effective Wharncliffe blade, which is widely regarded for its ability to slice and cut by transferring all of the energy all the way to the tip. The blade has a straight edge, hollow ground blade made of S30V steel.
The knife handle uses aggressively textured G10, which is a very durable polymer resin. With G10, the knife is not likely to slip from the user’s hand even when wet from sweat and blood.
As with several of Janich’s designs, the Yojimbo 2 is designed to be used with a thumb forward position. This gives the user a very strong grip and maximum cutting power.
The Yojimbo 2 has been in high demand by people who know fine knives ever since it was introduced.

Mongolian fighting knife......the Mongolians practice fighting with two knives. Dual wielding is a lost art, and was never really popular in western combat.

Dual wielding is using two weapons, one in each hand, during combat. It is not a common combat practice, since it does not offer much advantage. Although historical records of dual wielding in war is limited, there are numerous weapon-based martial arts that involve the use of a pair of weapons. The use of two weapons simultaneously confers no notable advantage to the user as compared to more conventional means such as using a two-handed weapon or a one-handed weapon and a shield. The use of a companion weapon is sometimes employed in European martial arts and fencing, such as a parrying dagger. Miyamoto Musashi, a Japanese swordsman and ronin, was said to have conceived of the idea of a particular style of swordsmanship involving the use of two swords.

Mine would be a Chris Reeve Sebenza 21.

Anyone looking for a punch dagger here is a great Blackhawk from my friends at OpsGear!

The XSF Punch Dagger’s distinctive handle shape delivers remarkable strength and pe*******on, making it a potent personal defense blade. It is designed to be braced against the palm like a traditional push dagger and guided by the index finger for increased accuracy and thrusting power.
