THUMB and LAPEL "DAGGERS"
By Carl Cestari - 06/28/02


Professor Kelly Yeaton demonstrated the following method for us:

Lapel dagger - sewn under the LEFT jacket lapel. Innocent "stance" while fingering left lapel with left hand. Pull lapel dagger and THROW it into the face of the antagonist.

IMMEDIATELY pull either the "Shanghai" knife from shoulder holster with right hand, OR the "Hula" cross-draw for handgun.

IT WORKS like a charm!

2nd tid-bit:

Matt Temkin introduced me to a friend of his named Patrick Fair. Mr. Fair had trained under a "fencing" maestro who was very active in clandestine blade work during WWII.

Patrick told me the following-

There was a "made" member of an organized crime syndicate who used the following method of "quick kill".

Carrying a small sharpened "nail file" he would approach the mark face on and using his left hand slice the right hand of the mark while his hands were hanging normally at his side. The mark would invariably react to this cut by looking downward at the injury. The hitter then used this natural reaction to come up FULL FORCE with a "heel of hand" blow under the chin. Result was usually a broken neck. At the least the mark was slammed to the ground, and then the boots administered the "coup d'grace".

Many other interesting tales concerning project "Blue Card", Covert Intelligence and the "Wise Guys".
