Knife fighting technique uses extensive quotations from Rex Applegate's Kill or Get Killed. John Ek registered commando knives are manufactured by permission of The War Production Board. This booklet has been prepared for and only for you men in the armed services. The information relating to the technique of kinve fighting has been included at the request of my friends now in the war zones. Although this booklet is small, it is my sincere hope that it may be of some use to you who are carring the load in this war. If it teaches you but one small thing which will help save your life, the efforts we have expended in its preparation will certainly have been more than justified.
