   Never will understand how the tanto replaced the Fairbairn-Sykes in special forces knife fighting. The double edge allows you to grip it like a fencing foil thus maximizing your range by putting your point in line with your arm. It's also able to slash to either side.
   
   If you use a single-edged knife in the same way you will always have a dull side to be bypassed on, not to mention that the grip isn't ergonomic for that. If you grip it like a hammer or saber you shorten your range because the tip is at an angel to your arm. Between trained fighters range is everything, it allows you to hit while not being hit.
