A new standard work, written by two globally recognized experts: knife designer Dietmar Pohl, a specialist in tactical knives, explains what a combat knife should look like and presents the best and most important combat knives in the world. This includes the various systems for carrying a knife on the body or on equipment. Jim Wagner, an American close combat trainer, introduces the corresponding combat techniques. Through image sequences and explanatory texts, attack and defense techniques are thoroughly explained and supplemented with practical training tips. A unique and comprehensive book that has been missing from the market until now.
