The new SPARTANAT Black Book:

The knife – and how we protect ourselves from it

06/23/2025By Redaktion

Wherever people are on the move, the threat of knife attacks can suddenly become a reality. Quickly drawn, a knife attack can have serious consequences – for victims, witnesses, and emergency services. This very current book explains the issue of danger in an understandable and practical way.

A report from practice:

Mario Nowak, an experienced police officer with a SEK background, reveals his decades of operational experience. He explains how both civilians and emergency forces can prepare against knife attacks. The book addresses fundamental questions: How do you recognize a danger? What to do when the blade is in play? What defense strategies are there – with and without a weapon? 

Important topics at a glance: 

  • The statistical dimension of knife violence and the perception of danger
  • Surviving in the “Red Zone” – when life and death are at stake
  • Self-defense in all situations – preventive and in emergency cases
  • The ten commandments of safety: Mindfulness in everyday life

A guide for all who want to protect themselves:

In 168 pages, Mario Nowak shows how anyone can effectively prepare against knife attacks. This pocket book is an essential companion for private individuals, security and rescue forces on duty, and anyone who wants to take responsibility for their own safety.
