The first step in developing a defensive strategy against an attacker armed with a knife is to understand how a knife is used to kill and injure. In brief, a knife can hurt you in one of three ways:
Mechanical: It can be used to sever muscles and connective tissue that will prevent your body from working. Serious knife people practice cuts that will disassemble whole muscle groups or disconnect the tendons you need to make your hands and arms move.
Hydraulic: A knife can be used to sever arteries and veins, lowering blood pressure and eliminating oxygen transfer to the muscles or brain. A good cut on the carotid artery (located on the side of the neck) can cause unconsciousness almost instantly, with death following within moments.
Electrical: Knives can cut nerves that transmit your brain's instructions to your limbs, making it impossible for you to move or feel with the affected areas.
Even a small knife can cause all three types of damage, often simultaneously. A blade as small as 3-inches can reach the heart of an adult male, and knives as small as one-inch can easily sever major arteries. Yes, that Swiss Army knife in your pocket is fully capable of causing some massive trauma if used skillfully.
