In the army, they just taught us to get a tight wrap around the target's mouth and stick a bayonet down between the collar bone and trap, aiming for the aorta, or stick a knife crossways through the middle of the neck and saw forward through the carotid and jugular, simultaneously making it kinda hard to yell, or pushing a knife up under the ribs into the descending aorta. Never tried any of those for real, but have done in practice against resistance, and they seem a lot quicker and more effective than a wire with handles.
