Military Knife Fighting

By Robert K. Spear

During Desert Shield, Saudi Arabian troops laughed at their G.I. counterparts because every American soldier conspicuously carried a big fighting knife, yet none had ever been given formal training on how to use them correctly. Robert Spear has filled this training gap with a manual which goes far beyond the usual techniques. 123 pp., 5.5" X 8.5," photos, softcvr.

Customer Reviews

nearly worthless

This book covers very little and it can almost all be found elsewhere for free. This is not a knife fighting manual. I bought this and I was very disappointed. I really feel that this book is a waste of time and money. Shihan David Edwards Europa Kenpo- 9th Infantry veteran
