Don't Try This At Home, Kids!

We must never, never, never try to mix it up with somebody that can handle a blade like this.
Here our old pal Bobbe Edmonds demonstrates just how dangerous a knife is in the hands of an expert. I'm sure he'll wish I used a different video of his because he is trying techniques from a different system, which is "Piper" out of South Africa. None-the-less, you can see that in Bobbe's hands, the blade takes on a life of it's own and is very, very lethal.
To close this series of knife posts, I thought we should see an image of the kind of damage the business end of a blade can cause. Believe me, there were some other images that were so graphic I could hardly look at them:

Holy crap, this is why knives are so dangerous. Here's our ol' Bud Bobbe Edmonds moving through some knife patterns. As you can see, they flow very nicely and are very lethal. There is simply no way to survive an encounter with someone that can handle a knife like this. The Fillipino and Indonesian systems are probably the most deadly in the world, but here he is talking about a hybrid system from South Africa, and according to Edmonds, the "Piper System" may even be deadlier.
You can read Edmond's thoughts at his hilariously manic website "Thick As Thieves".
