The following information is about new publications and reviews on the Gunting Knife designed by a Modern Arnis Master Senior Instructor, Bram Frank. It seems that in Europe, and some police and military circles, the knife is getting some great reviews and sales figures, in spite of the fact that Spyderco, has not seen fit to put any real advertising money behind the product!
This is a real word of mouth, underground, campaign by people like myself who love to make others aware of this uniquely innovative tool for self defense. (I do give seminars on the gunting and other hand held tools for self defense.)
Check out the following information...
Gunting Trainer in the Jan/Feb/Mar 2003 issue of Lame, the Italian
knife magazine produced by Massimo Vallini.
CSSD/ Combat Arnis (Matster Frank's organization) and the CRIMPT (a vnon-bladed version of the Gunting knife) written up in the French knife magazine EXCALIBUR, release is June 2003.
The Gunting CRMIPT is in ASLET magazine: called best less than lethal tool designed for LEO... ASLET is an international training organization for LEOs.
The Gunting is in Police Journal and Police Magazine. (USA)
The Gunting CRMIPT is in FIRE magazine of Belgium
The Gunting & training program is in Excaliber of France-Belgium (a different magazine with seperate editorial staffs and policies.)
Gunting & fixed blade knife fighting training programs by Master Frank is featured in the current issue of MUGAN, an Israeli Security Magazine.
The Gunting & the CSSD/Combat Arnis training programs & training tools developed by Master Frank are the feature story in Aug 03 Knives Illustrated.
Tactical Knives has named Master Frank listed as one of Top Ten knife instructors in next issue.. June 2003.
The TSA-FAMs are writing the Gunting-CRMIPT into the offical curriculumn of the United Sates Air Marshals.
The USMC MACE@ Quantico.. the Marine Rangers and Special Operations Forces want Master Frank to teach the Instructors @ MACE ( Marines very own Martial Art Program).
----------------------------------------------------------------
Not bad for a knife and training program that was designed around the conceptual principles of Modern Arnis and Small Circle Jiu-jitsu, by a guy that some "leading" Modern Arnis people want to claim never studied the art or even met the Professor!
Senior Master Frank will be a featured instructor at the Modern Arnis Symposium, July 2003, in Buffalo, NY. This would be a great opportunity for some folks to see both the tool and the tool designer at the same time and place... very innovative feature,
pairing the two at this event, wouldn't you say?
