Ghost Hawk Neck Knife

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.

These stun guns are disguised as cellular phones. Recently, one of these stun guns was used on two Georgia police officers who were attempting to arrest a fraud suspect.

A quick Google search turned up a wide variety of these being sold under names like Pretender Cell Phone Stun Gun and Titan Multi-Functional Cell Phone Stun Gun. Prices start at about $60 and go up. These are perfectly legal in most US jurisdictions, and are probably used by far more honest citizens than criminals.  However, mere possession may be a crime in your area, and regardless, no law ever stopped a criminal from attacking a police officer.
Keep an eye out for these things when dealing with suspects. All of the photos below are of actual stun guns being sold today.

Stay safe!
