I always felt that knife throwing in combat was something you do moments before you feel you're gone anyway. Remember that scene from Saving Private Ryan when they keep chucking pistols and helmets at each other? Something like that.

Adam. That a was fantastic piece of what really works and what might not. Great throwing. Great info. Thanks brother. Stick

[TieToter]

I can't believe this is even a question. If you poke a hole in the right place on a human body, with a knife, bullet, arrow, ice pick, or any other device, the human body is going to cease to function. It does not have to create a temporary cavity in ballistic gelatin. It just has to make a hole in the right place.

Speaking of injuries due to rebound, I remember when I was first learning, I had a knife rebound and hit me square in the chest, right below the sternum.

The only thing that saved me was the fact that I was wearing a neck knife at the time. The rebounding knife hit the sheath dead-on, then shooting off to the side. Left a big ole gash on the sheath and a bruise on my chest.

It all happened in a flash, didn't even notice the rebound before it hit me. Rebounds are no joke.

Great job, Adam! You considered all posibilities here.
Basically, to be practical and lethal, the two key points are:
1) No spin throw.
2) Use and knife that is not too light nor have a too wide blade, to achive the best penetration.

[J.DeLaPoer]

I've read a fair bit of literature from studies on the subject that penetration wounds of more than about 1.5" depth tend to induce shock in the victim, even when the wound itself isn't fatal or striking any vital area.

I was just talking about this in old cowboy movies, I just find it humorous they show about half an inch of knife steel in someone's shoulder and he dies instantly, then they find a cowboy laying in the road who has been shot in the heart with a 45 and they lay a folded up bandana on it and say hang on I'll go get help😂

[charleshill]

I remember watching a documentary back in the day on ninja's and throwing spikes, shuriken, and throwing knives and it always stuck with me that you're not going to 1 shot kill with a throw unless you can bury a knife through the skull, so regardless of the implement it's mostly meant as a distraction to get you to "flinch" so the ninja can retreat or press his attack with an advantage, because even a skilled fighter having something fly at their face or chest is going to have to work to react especially if they don't expect it and as you demonstrated, even a hit from the blunt end can deal damage of some kind.

[jonathanwessner]

I am always amazed that the blades appear to sink deeply through bone (like ribs) in a vertical orientation, instead of horizontal (which would slip between the ribs better) Heck, if they hit them in the back, it is always THROUGH the shoulder blade.

[Crangaso]

Learned how to throw knives but practicing throwing butter knives into trees.
Never thought it would penetrate but sure AF does.

[tommyking]

Really cool to see the test with ballistic gel Adam! Much love, you taught me everything i know about throwing ❤

[DroneChannelUSA]

Amazingly well edited so fun to watch - really appreciate the time you put into this, makes for super high quality content

[georgegonzalez-rivas]

Way back in 1976 or so my first fencing coach mentioned that he had been a champion knife-thrower in his youth. Excited, I asked him what kind of knife I should get for defense. He looked at me sadly and said "get the heaviest knife possible so that when it doesn't stick it will at least hurt him a little".

Knife throwing history:
Grey Otter
In World War II, he took out a German sentry with a downhill bayonet throw of 87 feet. He drew bead on a spot about three feet over the sentry's head and let fly, the bayonet rotating end-over-end and taking the German at the base of the skull.

Great video covering it all I’ve been watching your content for the last year and have lots of respect for you keep it up man

So first off, I respectfully submit a differing opinion to your testing medium and the outcome of this particular test based on my experience.
I have first-hand experience hunting with throwing knives on live targets in the jungles of Central America and the woods of North Idaho.
I have also used ballistic gel, cold hanging slabs of meat and wooden targets. Each of these mediums has a VERY different reaction to blades. A thrown knife will literally pierce straight through living bone and tissue of a wild jungle pig and come out the other side like an arrow from a bow. It absolutely DESTROYS organs and causes catastrophic system failure in living organic creatures. Ballistic gel is not a good medium for blades. It is too "gooey" and sticky to replicate living tissue and bone. Bodies are containers, hide stretched over a tent frame and filled with blood bearing organs and viscera. Once a point punctures, it is like a balloon inside. Very little resistance. Humans are not solid creatures, but hollow. Wood is essentially armor for knives, and cold hanging meat is a better medium although tougher due to the constriction of the muscle fiber. I did send a 9-ounce knife through two hanging beef sides in a butcher shop with a half-spin.
Think of the knife as an arrow without a shaft, or the tip of a thrown spear. It is a sharpened steel point that penetrates into the organs. Arrow and spear wounds are rarely an "instant" kill because of the time required for bleed-out. It's the same with a thrown knife.
A head-shot is typically so catastrophic that the animal will drop instantly from shock, although they are hard to pull off. Lung and heart hits bleed out like arrow wounds with between 10-30 seconds until lack of consciousness.
It is worth noting that a very sharp knife will create large "Nike Swoosh" type wounds in living tissue because of the rotation of the weapon, which was unexpected to me. Apparently this has to do with the Conservation of angular momentum and the fact that the blade is still trying to rotate after impact. It seems like the edge was the path of least resistance.
Also worth noting: Big, heavy knives are very effective at stopping animals whereas lighter blades only create superficial wounds. It does make quite a difference.
As always, I appreciate your channel and your videos! Keep rocking!

Great way to meditate. I practiced for a while many years ago and found it relaxing. Fun to do. It's been years though. I think I will pick it up again.

[Hagemann]

I love that you've become the voice of knife-throwing! I've followed you for quite some time and you're so down-to-earth and have great humility. Also, you've got such a practical, realistic view of the sport. It would be easy to try to over-romaticize it but throwing weapons is already sexy enough...no need to make it into something that it's not.

Sadly, my throwing days are pretty much over since I had shoulder surgery a few years ago. So I live vicariously through you and your channel.

Keep up the amazing work!

[stevenpappin]

Another great video. Very genuine, very informative and I appreciate that you remind people of the potential dangers, even while practicing. Well done.
Thank you.

Very good video👌I was in the army in special forces and instructor on hand to hand combat was showing as how litle penetration had a clunky bayonete when trowing... Instead they teach us how to trow entrenching showel and military axe... That two inflicted some serious damage😬
