KNIVES

This volume brings together details of blades used by soldiers around the world, whether for survival, general field use, or for combat - or sometimes all three. The book contains details of a whole range of blades from the legendary Gurkha Kukri and Fairbairn-Sykes commando knife, to the latest hi-tech, high-spec blades. This study should be of interest to the police, those in the military, the enthusiast and the collector. James Marchington is the author of "Handguns and Submachine Guns" and editor of "Combat and Survival".
