"A documentary issued to police in the 80's on how to survive edged-based attacks, primarily blades -- with often comical and novel examples."

this entire training film is a goldmine and the info about surviving/giving out knife attacks is actually pretty invaluable

I loved some of the interesting but true racial stereotypes. An informative point made in the video is that mentally disturbed individuals are the most common knife attackers of law enforcement. Which confirms my suspicion that you have to be crazy or desperate to use a knife on a cop.

I would like to see what the modern training video for knife attacks looks like.

Pretty much says a deadly threat is anyone within 25 feet with a knife will kill you, and if you go hand to hand vs a knife, you have a 99.999% chance of death. Even if you do manage to get the knife away and kill, you'll have been stabbed so many times, you will die

Shoot them before they get close enough to use their edged weapon.

Getting stabbed sucks a lot, it's definitely not an experience I ever want to relive.

I bet it, has it all in there. All the 80's hysteria, back of the magazine gimmicks, ninja knife users (complete with throwing stars), and even a crazy Satan worshiper.
