The Dragon was a collaborative design by Pat Crawford and Bob Kasper. It is an
extremely efficient design, excellent in both stabbing and slashing strokes. Its light weight
allows for lightning fast moves and quick counter strikes. The integral finger groove and
thin handle allow for a secure and effortless grip. The "skull crusher" pommel focuses
power into a small impact area. The design and weightlessness of this blade allows for
easy, every day carry. The special thin handle gives the blade an "empty hand" feel, that
allows for effortless integration of empty hand techniques. This is the perfect knife for the
martial artist who interfaces empty hand techniques with the knife.

The Dragon knife design is the result of ten years of research on a WW2-era system of
close combat called Arwrology (pronounced R-ology) developed by physician and
Samurai Jiu-Jitsu Daishi, Dr. Gordon Eric Perrigard. Arwrology is based on extreme in-
close fighting methods utilizing automatic conditioned reflexes with a minimum amount of
body motion that can be applied to a variety of techniques including a knife.
The Canadian Society of Arwrologists logo designed in 1940 is a black dragon. Like its
namesake, the Dragon bites (tip), claws (edge,) and strikes (pommel) its adversary. It
uses the same body motion as the techniques used for unarmed combat. Many close
combat systems have a knife fighting system and an unarmed combat system. Arwrology
has one system because it emphasizes general body movement, and not individual
technique for different weapons and attack methods. Following this principle the Dragon
becomes a part of the body, as opposed to an extension of the body. This combat system
will be explained in my upcoming book, Introduction to Arwrology, due for publishing early
2006.
Many thanks to Pat and Wes Crawford. I’m a fighting-knife designer and not a maker, so
their ability to understand and create is invaluable. From the moment of design
presentation to delivery at my front door for evaluation was an amazing three weeks. This
time frame also included integrity testing which is evident by the accompanying pictures.
They are truly masters of their craft.
