Ancient Collector's Technique
"Break your opponent before he breaks you. Don't let them hurt you, child."
Carlyle has always spent most of his years searching for antiques in the form of offensive weaponry, while caring very deeply about his hobby of sewing clothes for the orphaned children down the block. During his searches, he has honed his skill with these ancient weapons and developed his own martial techniques designed to break the opponent's weapon before his own breaks by itself due to its worn and torn condition.

Tricks Up Your Sleeve
It's knives. The trick is knives.
