My favorite place to have a knife is right at my throat (Only scratches there please though I really don't want death, if I could repeat that it would be nifty but, thats really not the kind of thing you can do,) Deeper cuts are fine on my chest and legs actually I enjoy that. I don't have a favorite blade, it really depends on what the use is Deeper cuts I prefer a fillet knife or something else really sharp, if its just scraping the skin I like fantasy daggars, shorter swords to.
