Don't be fooled by the title of this book or even the description under "Editorial Reviews" above. There's no knife fighting instruction to be found on its pages; instead, you get to see countless pictures of the author with well-known teachers of the bladed arts (as in "look how well-connected I am"). A better buy would be Michael Janich's "Knife Fighting: A Practical Course", or Hochheim's "Knife Fighting Encyclopedia".

This book has a lot of interesting photos, but lacks in real techiniques or traning hints (the traning target construction apart). The author explains only few basis and some philosophy of the knife fighter. By the way i suggest this book to whom are really beginner in knife fighting.

A wrong jacket , the book is a pity in informations on combat knifes fight
a lot of pictures of knife fight master ; a good solution to contact them
for to subcribe some money training sessions

If your wanting a good laugh then purchase this book, the author seems more concerned about self promotion than actually writing about knife fighting. Horrible book

this book stinks, it had absolutely no point to it what so ever. the plot just rambled on forever. the main character never had any growth throughout the book. he never mentioned any other characters, except for maybe "fig. A & B". the author never changed the plot or changed the direction of the characters purpose. my four-year old sister could have written a more entertaining novel than this. although it was extremely dull and boring, dry in all aspects of humor and adventure, it did have a great tutorial in modern knife combat. if your looking for a great scientific novel, don't get this book.

In this book, Mr. Walker,editor of Fighting Knives magazine, shows different teaching methods of knife fighting of grandmasters in Kung Fu, Kali and other martial arts, and military training of U.S.Army, Navy (SEALs) and Marines in knife fighting.
