Look on line for Fairbairn/Sykes techniques.

Most of the 'knife fighting' stuff you will find in any period of military application will not be 'fighting' so much as 'sentry take out/quick kill....' type of arts. It will be a section of a military manual on hand to hand or something along those lines.

It isn't going to be fancy or sophisticated (relative to other knife training such as FMA's and such) but it will be direct and quick to learn.....but will take some serious stomachous steelius to actually pull off.

Stomachous steelious...I like that. Is it any thing like intestinal fortitude?

.....or testicular fortitude?!

I think all the american and british armys was the beyonet stab-twist-pull.

After a good boot to the groin they could be one in the same.

Somewhere around my storage unit I have my old USMC NCO non-resident training course books. In there is a section on military knife techniques. If I can find them I'll scan them and e-mail them to you. They aren't WWII but they are from the cold war era and techniques didn't really start to change until the last 5 years or so. Good luck in your search.

Much thanks for that!
