What's your favorite style of knife-fighting? For me Kali seems to have the skinny on some of the best tactics. I once met a Mexican dude in California who had one arm all drawn-up with his hand gnarled like if he was clawing. Asked him what happened and he said he got into a knife-fight with a Filipino dude who knew Kali, and he got cut along the inside of his upper-most arm right near the armpit. Said it severed a bunch of nerves and he lost use of the arm completely.

Funny part:

He still knife fights.
i don't have any formal training in knife fighting. like i said, never had to be forced into a confrontation where i needed to use my knife. but i've wathed videos, taken manual's and such from libraries. i'm more into the collecting. when/if i come into a lot of money, i'd love to start purchasing some real antiques and rare knives.

i'll tell you though, some of those knife-fighting styles are really intense, crazy fast-paced attacks and stuff. i've thought about putting more effort into learning more about using knives properly, but i guess its just low on my priority list!
