Ask the British

Oh, okay. I didn’t know. In that case, knives sound just fine. :-)

“I hear the Afghani locals are very skillful with knives
Ask the British”

When you’re wounded and left on Afghanistan’s plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An’ go to your Gawd like a soldier.
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
So-oldier ~of~ the Queen!

Rudyard Kipling, “The Young British Soldier”

“Ouch. Ow, ow, ow, ow. Duck! Run! Ouch!”
Hindu, Macedonian, Mongol, Persian, British, and Russian soldiers. Maybe others.
