If I recall from the article, they hit it with a BFR multiple times and it did nothing. And yes, that's what I meant, that's exactly how I would use the knife, you can't do much more with a 3.5" blade. I think a windpipe or carotid (neck) artery would not require high skill, if they are in roughly the same place as humans. I would go for the artery first, slit from front to back, I ought to hit it if it's not too deep or shielded somehow.
