Ninety-nine percent of the time you will never need a knife. But in that one percent crisis, you will need your knife and right away. On 9-11 the terrorists fought and murdered passengers with the most innocuous of blades – simple box cutters. Just about every police officer, firefighter, soldier, and many citizens carry a knife on a daily basis. But how does that knife fit onto a soldier’s kit or a police officer’s Sam Brown? Does a paratrooper need a different blade than a detective, or a housewife? Tactical Bladecraft answers all of these questions and more.  

Tactical Bladecraft explains different types of blades, dispels blade myths, delineates major blades of the world, teaches you how to find a blade system customized to your life, and how to utilize your knife in a safe everyday routine – as well as a life threatening crisis. Knife fighting and throwing come next, not in a fantasy context but in a practical paradigm reflecting real world scenarios. The one day class climaxes with eye-popping, live blade cutting tests.
