I'm no knife guy, wouldn't know how to use one if I had to. But in in 1971 I saw a guy laying outside the Elbow Room in Dutch Harbor with his guts in the gravel, State Trooper said it was one slice with a filet knife by a Filipino about 5 feet tall. So maybe it's more about sharp than the pattern or style.
That's why a zero grind edge bevel is so good on a dedicated fighting knife. Easy to keep them razor sharp.
