So slashing will become the method.
Shrug...knives are easy to make or modify.
Or use a broken bottle.
To quote one of Alistair MacLean's characters (in the book "Bear
Island") "I've often found a bottle of Scotch to be a great
leveller".
The character had just knocked out one of the villians by clobbering
him with a full bottle... grin
That's ok, as long as he doesn't waste a bottle of good Scotch.
The character shared the contents with other "good" characters.
A hot soldering iron does a pretty good job, too, if you make sure
to
burn a hole in something they might miss. I had a drunk barge into my
room in the barracks one evening, and threaten me. I asked him to
leave, and he started screaming for me to stop working on someone's
stereo, and give him my tools, then yelled, Give me that !@#$%^&*
soldering iron, right now! I asked, This one? Then I lunged at him,
and missed him by less than an inch. He did a standing broad jump,
backwards into my wall locker, and slammed his head into it. Funny
thing is, he never came back to bother me after that.
LOL!
