Blade Drills: Perfecting the “Snap” Cut & Thrust
I have been drilling lately with my small “hideout” waist-carried fixed blade knives, mainly, my Benchmade CBK and SOG Snarl. Training Notes: Since both of these shivs have an unconventional grip (CBK is a syringe type, the Snarl a single-finger loop, claw design), striking is a bit more unorthodox than if I were using a standard…
