First sentence: There are many who like to indulge in “Knife Trivia”. This book was not written for them. It is for the serious student interested in refining his skills. In these pages I do not discuss whether or not the Bowie knife was developed from the Spanish navaja. Nor will you read much here of the historical roots of modern knife fighting. Books, excellent books, have already been published which go into these matters in great detail.
Description: Until Slash and Thrust, no book ever presented a complete, practical knife fighter's training program. This classic covers choosing the martial knife, quick-kill strikes, footwork, deceptive movements and using such exotic weapons as the shuriken, shaken, Irish dart, chakram and Chinese cloth dart. Included is an appendix on the pros, cons and methods of throwing concealable edged weapons.
