Is there an ideal knife/baton length to fighter height ratio?
For the sake of discussing weapon using martial arts, a colleague of mine and me were discussing the topic that batons should be customised to the user. Hence, for the field of stick combatives, he said that someone like me (5'7"s) should use a 20" long baton while someone like him (5'10") should carry a 22 or 23" long stick. While there does appear to be some sense in his argument, how does this translate to knife based combatives?
Using FMA as a model, how long should the blade be in my case such that it has enough reach but is not cumbersome?
How tall are you guys and what is the combat blade length that you prefer?
