IMHO, it's the thickness AND deepness of the wound left behind which is dictating their search for a weapon.so a question or two: my kitchen knives are full tang, metal all the way through. One is a Global knife (stainless, one piece).
would those knives accomplish the same task, or would something like a machete be a better choice regardless?
A full-tang doesn't so much matter, it's just a feature indicative of "large, fixed blade knives." However, and whatever the actual knife may be, it did kill four people without breaking (as far as we know), so it's likely a "stronger" knife.
I can't remember if it was a confirmed statement or just conjecture, but if there was stabbing involved (as opposed to hacking, slashing, etc) it's likely not a machete as the mechanics just don't work that way.
