I suppose it also goes to personal preference.

*shrug* I suppose so.

and knives do have their uses,

I just think that the situations that they work well in, are few and far between.

get some martial-arts skills for up-close and personal. takes just as much training to be good with a knife,...

No. Well, rules wise, sure, but RL, not so much.

a little bit of min-max goes a long way.

Have you ever tried killing a spirit with a gun? Try it with a knife, you'll get MUCH better results.

and the Kai-Strike from tai-quando would be any worse than the knife?

Relatively the same, actually. The Focus Willpower ability of Tai-Chi-Chuan users would be far more effective, since they can use it twice and get a +4 willpower on their next strike against the spirit.

Yeah, unless you're using a weapon like a spear, whereby the +2 reach bonus can lower your target number. The knife is also the cheapest form for a Weapon Focus, which does full damage against spirits.

well, this wasn't a discussion on melee weapons in general. it was just knife vs/ unarmed martial arts.

The knife would only win out if it was magical. Otherwise it would be equal with martial arts against a spirit. A knife does physical damage, so it's messier than using your hands.

Notably for an adept, you can't make your hands into a weapon focus, so a knife is ideal. Of course, if you're the brawling type, you can just enchant a pair of knuckle dusters or sap gloves as a Weapon Focus.

Keep in mind, that if you have the cash and the resources, you can also get some more high-tech items as foci. Stun Batons, Shock-hands, Cyber-spurs/claws, even whole cyberlimbs.
