American made garrote modeled on the original O.S.S. design, sent into action with O.S.S. agents and operators during WWII. Garrote techniques were taught to general US Army soldiers as recently as 1971 (FM 21-150) and continues today in elite units across the US Armed Services and Intelligence Services.
CIA, US Navy SEALS and US Army Special Forces all directly trace their existence back to the men of O.S.S. - men like Bill Donovan, William Fairbairn, Rex Applegate and Aaron Bank. Fairbairn & Applegate understood the utility of the wire garrote in certain circumstances over the knife, and they trained their students accordingly. Here is a video of US Rangers training in various garrotes and techniques.
