The Knife Hands are often considered the best hand to hand combatants of the Aiel, it is said that one of the most interesting spars found among the Aiel are two Sovin Nai fighting with only hands and feet. Some have even been known to prefer fighting in this manner, and leaving spears as a last resort in the Dance.
