"The switchblade knife is the magician of the cutlery world. It has been ignored, condemned, legislated out of existence, traveled over borders and across the ocean, nearly disappeared, but it has endured. Like the blade itself, it seemingly came out of nowhere, with a flash of steel and the sound of a buggy whip, ready for the task at hand. Inside the Art of the Switchblade are the best known examples from inception to World War II, the golden age of automatic knives. From England, France, Germany, Italy, and the United States of America, these are the créme de la créme, the best of the best"--Back cover.

The book begins by detailing the political and societal circumstances of Southern Italy that nurtured the development of knife fencing. It uncovers the rituals and subtle nuances of duelling, the elegance of fencing styles, and the often fatal aftermath of these contests of skill and bravery.

An extensive examination of the art of duelling follows, unveiling the intricacies of this martial tradition. The author discusses the key elements of traditional Italian knife fencing, highlighting the skills and techniques that distinguish it from other combat styles.

An entire section is dedicated to the peculiarities of jacket-assisted techniques, dual knife fencing, and the integration of various techniques. The book also differentiates between using a knife and a dagger in traditional fencing, enhancing the reader's knowledge and understanding. The book offers a glimpse into Italian knife fencing tournaments and recreates historical duels from 19th-century Italy, adding further depth and colour to the reader's understanding. The famed Arditi, Italian assault troops from WWI, are also given spotlight, detailing their unique knife techniques. The book also delves into practical aspects of knife fencing, discussing safety measures, protective gear, and training environments. It suggests adaptations of knife fencing skills to other fighting styles and outlines the challenges of knife self-defence in real-world scenarios.

"Knife & Tomahawk Throwing helps keep alive these traditional arts of the old West. In these pages you will learn about the fundamentals of the sport and gain insight into some of the greatest professional knife throwers–the men who paved the way for the modern day thrower." — Bobby Branton, President of the American Knife Thrower's Alliance (AKTA) Harry McEvoy, foremost expert in the field of tomahawk and knife throwing and best-selling author of Knife Throwing: A Practical Guide, provides us with an exciting, in-depth look at the popular sport of weapon throwing. Meet the men who throw flaming knives at lovely ladies on a spinning target—and not scorch a hair; learn about the legendary "Skeeter" Vaughan, whose record-breaking throw saved the lives of hundreds of U.S. servicemen during World War II; and witness the courage of Tony Cascarella, who brought down a 275-pound wild boar with only three Bowie-Axe throwing knives. In addition, this book will clearly show you the skills involved in knife and tomahawk throwing—skills all the professionals first mastered before attempting the daring feats required when performing the "impalement arts." Also presented is an interesting history of throwing-knives, from the earliest times, through the development of the European daggers, and up to the knives used during the Vietnam War. Furthermore, you'll learn about many of the other throwing weapons of the world, including the martial arts weapons used by the Japanese ninja, and the deadly boomerangs of the Australian aborigines. Concisely written and illustrated with more than 50 photographs—including many of the "greats" in action—Knife and Tomahawk Throwing is a must for anyone interested in these fascinating sports. Chapters include: The Fine Points of Knife Throwing How to Build Targets Evolution of the Throwing Knife The Art of the Professionals The Saga of Skeeter Vaughn Tomahawk Throwing The Hunt of the "Hog Heaven" Boar The Other Throwing Instruments
