Field Assessment
The knife is the choice when the operation requires no sound. No ejected casings, no muzzle report, nothing that puts a witness on the phone to VCPD. It requires getting close, which is the entire risk calculation. If the approach goes wrong there is no range advantage to fall back on.
Leonida Cartel operatives carry blades as a secondary alongside firearms. The operational logic is consistent: for situations where a firearm would create problems the knife does not, the knife is the answer.
It does not advertise. Every other weapon in the arsenal announces itself the moment it appears. The knife is already there before the subject of its use understands the situation has changed.
