Another Covert Weapon: Make Sure You Are Searching the Neck, Chest, and Back
Posted by: | Comments
The Ghost Hawk Neck Knife offered for sale by GG&G is a concealable knife of an unusual shape and design. The knife weighs a mere 1.65 ounces and comes with a Kydex sheath for wearing around the neck. The knife, which is only 0.1″ thick, could easily be concealed under a t-shirt, sweater, or sweat shirt.
Like any weapon, the Ghost Hawk Neck Knife could be carried by both the good guys and the bad guys. A lot of you probably already carry some type of knife around your neck or on your vest already. When doing searches, just keep in mind that your suspect can carry weapons in these places also. Too often, I have seen veteran officers search the waist bands and pockets very well, but practically ignore the neck, chest, and back.
Disguised Weapons: Cellular Phones and Stun Guns

Generally, these types of stun guns are not nearly as incapacitating as compared to the TASER M/X-26.
A quick Google search turned up a wide variety of these being sold under names like Pretender Cell Phone Stun Gun
Keep an eye out for these things when dealing with suspects. All of the photos below are of actual stun guns being sold today.
