" Plenty of knockouts with the left (or leading hand) hook though. Having said that I often wondered if it would be logical to have one's knife in the weaker hand (the power being supplied by the edge, so as to speak). I guess it is a matter of dexterity rather than power. How many people train with *two* knives ? Is it an advantage? Does the danger of cutting oneself go up with the square of the number of cutting implements used?
