Much later in life, Tarzan, Lord of the jungle, has a son who marries an American actress. They both decide they want nothing more to do with Tarzan and his jungle and move to Canada. But that’s another story. Let’s get back to this one.
It’s hard to hit a vital part slashing down. You need to be driving upwards. Lots of good targets there. Just ask the Navy SEALS. And favm is right, you don’t win gripping the knife that way, (…unless you’re contemplating suicide.) Blame the artist, though, not ERB.
Let me guess. "then, cat like. Tarzan springs forth, sinking his knife deep into Cross’s heart. Cross never utters another word, except for a gurgling sound.

Not good fighting form; Crisscross went unbalanced- he’s opened up his back.

Whichever way you hold the knife, it’s a good idea to aim the pointy end at your opponent.
