Kitchen knives should clash, like katanas

Would make knife fights cooler.

This would exclude the syndicate knife unless it clashes another syndicate knife, as obviously the people using those are far more skilled in hand to hand combat and will find weaknesses in a kitchen knife user's stance quite easily

I can just see Mopsy dueling monkeys with kitchen knives now.

chef vs bartender moment
also the note about the syndie knife is pretty smart
