I once saw a movie involving a stealthy infiltration of a guarded
compound, and a large serrated edge knife was used in one scene
to stab a sentry walking on the other side of a 4' high (or so)
wall and, with a twist and a yank, jerk the body over the barrier.
It seems that similar applications could help in game-getting,
climbing, etc. Of course I have NO combat experience so this plan
may be totally unworkable.
