The Truth About the M48 Cyclone Jaegerkommando Knife's Lethality and Myth

As the pioneer of liquid bandage usage at the factory I used to work at, that shit will seal anything

My uncle was stabbed with one of these cyclone kives... his shadow is still visible on the sidewalk from the instant vaporization that ensued after the blade's piercing contact.
RIP Uncle Chaz

As a retired military medic, yes that is one of the nastiest wounds to try and fix.

Bullets are significantly easier to deal with because they dont slice. And presurre works way better on "rough" wound profiles.

Knifes in general are significantly harder that bullet wounds.

[Weed_Dante]

Another thing to point out about knife wounds is that if the wound is somewhere you REALLY don't want it to be and deep enough, it's shape doesn't matter

[Philtopy]

If you ever stumble into a situation where *that* knife is thrusted into your chest, you are likely not surrounded by many friends …

The issue isnt that its too hard to stitch. Its that the damage usually has you bleed out before you can get medical attention. The tri-tip is a brutal example of deadly precision engineering.

Edit: Gotta say, the choice to obfuscate the name of the knife and detail "tri-tip" as a whole has lead to a great deal of wonderful well as a whole Lotta hot takes from people, all of which I implore those interested in weapons to read, as there's a good wealth of information passed about.

Let's be honest if you're in a spot where you're forced to use the knife, or used against you. You're probably already in a quite fucked situation

[NoobNoobNews]

Let's be honest. If you are in a situation where you have received a knife wound deadly enough to kill you without a doctor, the enemy is closer to you than the nearest doctor.

[m.taylor]

Honestly, I wouldn't doubt that a medical professional would be able to fix a wound like this, *but the big problem is if you have enough time to GET to them before you bleed out and high-five the Grim Reaper.*

If you have time to stab someone once you can do it again. Three stab wounds are harder to staunch than 1

[adisappointedfbiagent]

A knife that quickly slides in and out the body is a lot deadlier than a knife like this. When you’re stabbing someone to death you want to put as many holes in them as possible keep stabbing until you are 100% sure they’re dead. It’s easier to patch up a single strangely shaped wound than dozens of them.

"This isn't the world deadliest knife.. think about all the bullets people are shot by."

Yeah I actually had surgery for a hernia not too long ago and the surgeon didn’t use any stitches. He used something called dermabond and I have no idea how it works but it worked like a dream and now I’m chillin like nothing ever happened

[hq]

Just imagine if that knife blade acted like a drill bit. No mercy and no survivors, that's for surely.

[wilcoxway]

The blade's lethality isn't in how difficult the wound is to fix, it's the fact that the design causes the puncture wound inflicted from it can't be effectively sealed by tissue pressure as opposed to a single slice puncture.
Which results in the wounded individual typically bleeding to death well before they can get medical attention.

[LeafyMouse]

I mean if you got stabbed in the head with that thing doctors gonna have a hard time fixing that. Necromancers are chillin though

[jarrakul]

The fact of the matter is that smiths have been twisting lengths of shaped steel for a very long time. If this actually made stabs more lethal, smallswords and estocs would have spiral blades.

"Triangle wounds are impossible to stitch"

[tan]

6'' steel pipe is still the deadliest knife i know. Its like puncturing a sample out of a human body

A: that's a warcrime on a stick
B: superglue.
