One THROW One KILL: FACT Or MYTH?

Fact. I don't know if that's called the rondal dagger but I do know the taper of that point is meant straight up to penetrate the ribs and go into the organs I also know that a lot of those old school medieval daggers didn't have an edge they just came to a very sharp point for that reason. The way that you sink blades in dude especially with your no spin throw absolutely lethal 110%.

​​@@TheRealRomansThirteenNot really. It's speed multiplied by weight which equals force. If you stab someone, you ideally have a large part of your body weight behind the stab. However, if you throw the knife, you might have the same speed, but there is quite a lot of weight missing, since now its only the weight of the knife in the equation and not your bodyweight. No knife that you throw will penetrate through a rib. It might slide through between the ribs, but it wont penetrate through bone itself. Same goes for the skull. The temple and the eye socket, those are the points that a throwing knife could punch through. All the other parts of the skull, no chance. You need a force of 2000pa per square millimeter to penetrate the skull. I ran the calculations, even if the point was only one tenth of a square millimeter thick, and we assume, that the blade does not widen (which is impossible, because then it would be a needle), a 200g throwing knife thrown at 100km/h (which is VERY fast, since you dont throw a throwing knife like you would a baseball) would still produce way to low amount of force to penetrate or crack the skull. It would leave quite a mark on the bone, but it wouldnt penetrate through. We can make the blade heavier, but that wont really make a difference, because then you wont throw as fast, so it equals out. So no, its nowhere near as lethal as video games or movies suggest. Its quite hard to land a hit in a way, that instantly kills someone. Serious injurys which can lead to death if not treated in a hospital yes, totally. But it will almost never be an instant kill.

Just try grabbing the knife reverse grip and stab the ballistic gel with full force from above. When you stab someone, you can also hold the person or even pull him towards the knife, which again will double the force.

If we're talking modern day, sure, it's pretty niche. Historically, it's more like a personal defense type of thing in situations where no one is likely to have armor (much like concealed carry pistols today). For instance, if you only have a dagger and some throwing knives against a sword, or only a sword and some throwing knives/bo-shuriken against a spear, your odds drastically go up, especially in group combat

@Yora21

While I see the stopping power of any thrown knife to be marginal, I think almost everyone will still flinch considerably when someone throws a knife at you. Because you know it will hurt and could cause a very serious injury, and when it comes flying at your face, you will flinch before you can even think about it. And for that purpose you don't need any kind of actual stopping power. Even if it takes your opponent just a second to get his weapon back into a ready position and to focus his eyes on you again, that can make a big difference. I can totally believe that some people threw knives in combat that way, and trained to do it effectively. Just not for ranged stealth kills. Even if you hit, and you cause an injury, and that injury is actually fatal, there's probably still a 90% chance the guy will be able to do a lot of screaming.

​@@Erideah swords were for personal defense. Spears were for war. Throwing knives appear most in societies without to much armor, like name an African country. Ninjas used them as a distraction to use more leathal weapons or run away. What daggers were known for in many societies was assassination or theft. So much so that people would go through the effort of making specialized short swords. Knives were general tools for many applications that had nothing to do with combat. Throwing weapons is as a distraction, and designated opener, or for hunting. Maybe in desperation.

@@danielcox7629 Very much depends on what place and time in history we're talking about. Spears are cheaper than swords, and polearms in general were often carried by guards or anyone who wanted to outmatch a sword--so bandits and the like as well as peasants As we know about samurai for instance, if you are a warrior by vocation, you might have the luxury of throwing knives and spikes (metals weren't cheap after all), and a good amount of them put years into shuriken jutsu. You can use it for distraction or an opener, yes, but it also helps very much to close a reach disadvantage. Also, a spearman that might give you and your sword pals trouble by just backing up on light feet is a lot less trouble if one of you throws a tanto-shuriken or bo-shuriken in his neck or eye area, or even just starts him bleeding from anywhere and slowing down There's a wide variety of uses, but they were rare, due to cost and the intense amount of training required to make them useful

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.

I've had a rebound hit me in the flesh and it didn't even break skin. Unless you're the hulk at point blank range the worst you'll get is a papercut

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.

Well if you actually study knife attacks you'll find out not necessarily true. A friend of mine was attacked and stabbed around 10 times through the back and body punctured a lung collapsed it cut an artery did some other massive internal damage. He is still alive and working just fine today. He was the one who called 911 and was found passed out in a pool of blood. Most killings with a blade take dozens and dozens of stabs to finally kill the victim. Yes a good cut to the right arteries can bleed u out quickly. That is rare and very hard to actually do. Statistics says it all. Most actual murders with a blade take so many stabs it doesn't even make sense. Yet report after report is that way. So many times I heard said why did you stab him so many times. Only to hear he wouldn't die or he kept fighting. Since especially a sharp knife the body had an amazing ability to seal up the wound to a small degree internally and keep someone from dying right away. That's knowledge gained from paramedics nurses police and Doctors. I started asking those questions as a teenager and 40 plus years it's always been the same.i have never heard of a less then dozen stabs wounds that killed someone. I'm not saying it's not possible just not likely and not what I have ever heard of read or seen before. My father was an emt and my mother a paramedic then an ER nurse in a big town. So yeah I got to hear a lot of stories of this sort of thing. Just information take it as that and double check what I said. Hope it helps enlighten someone out there.

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

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.

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.

I believe this story is in Harry McEvoy's book on knife throwing. If I remember correctly, Grey Otter had been a pro knife thrower before the war, and everyone including him was surprised he actually managed to make such a lucky shot. It does seem possible, just extremely difficult.

Adam, this is a super interesting subject to me, and one that I have put a ton of research in. I've been throwing knives for over thirty years and this channel (@AdamCeladin) is one of the very best!! Much respect to you and your research. Your stuff is always top-notch. :) 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! Lucas

That’s way sick dude. Thanks for the stories and perspective. I didn’t even know people hunted with throwing knives! Question: how do you get the distance right when throwing?

This is an excellent illustration of why throwing knives have traditionally been used as distractions more than weapons. Also the spin / distance is why the hurlbat was created in the medieval era. Points in EVERY orientation so it is GOING to stick. Kill? Unlikely. Hurt like hell and distract them while you close in with a sword? Yup.

I can't remember where I read it, but I vaguely remember a book with some young kid throwing his knife into a stump, and the old, grizzled veteran asks why. He says he can kill a bird in flight, and the veteran asks something like "Can you kill two? No? Then keep your knife close and practise the bow". We make different weapons to do different things for a reason. Also, if you miss with something like the hurlbat, the enemy still has to run across a field strewn with sharp and pointy bits of metal.

The study of counter Ambush has brought me to so many different instructors. Hopefully everyone in this community has some exposure to it too. To Matie, Ed Calderon, Libra knife fighting, and Clint Emerson. Among them studies though there's a lot of artery and organ targets. Counter ambush is the study of striking shock zones to incapacitate an attacker, but they can also be lethal. The arteries that we know especially in the neck area with your precision it's absolutely a go and is 110% lethal. The Carotid artery jugular artery and trachea. The bronchial artery, also from above if you were throwing down you have the subclavian. If you hit low there's an artery in the navel there's also the femoral arteries. For Organ placement the lungs the heart the kidneys and the liver and spleen. Very low perhaps the bad guy is running to cover to shoot at you. The Tibia artery. If you could sink the I shot and penetrate the orbit old school zgb style also deadly. The temple and occipital lobe for head hunting too, to get into the brain organ that you have to get through the skull. It also has to be noted the most poison arrows darts and throwing weapons were poison tipped. Some stuff out there is terrible, just a nick or a scratch, and you're out of it. The Catholic Rosery is a hint* to that. I hope they cast you for John Wick 5. Someone from Hollywood should have noticed by now.

In my first year of knife throwing I bought a hunting knife with a wooden handle and a very sharp blade. I threw it a few times without much success. The handle being made of wood did not give it a good weight to volume ratio. So I started to throw it harder and harder... Then the knife landed on the board on the handle, which made it bounce back to my right arm... Now I've got 6 stitches. Good thing about it is that for 3 months I had to use my left hand to throw so now I can pretty much throw from both hands. Sharp tips, and if there's any blade, make sure it's dull.

My best friend that lives in the woods taught me how to though a knife straight without spin, but he taught me his underhand technique. I got pretty decent at it, but it has been a while since I’ve tried.

If you were using a throwing knife as a weapon, you want it to fall out of the wound. If the knife sticks, it'll restrict bleeding which is why you keep the object in with puncture wounds. That thick kunai is still very dangerous despite it not being able to penetrate as deep. I wonder how it would do with a grazing blow or with spin.

I've been throwing knives since I was about 9 years old. I throw with 1 rotation holding it by the blade. My longest throw and stick with 1 rotation is 35 feet. I can pretty much stick anything from scissors to any kind of knife. Everything you say is pretty much correct. I would add that if you throw a knife at a person the knife won't penetrate easily because of clothes. For example, if someone is wearing a heavy denim shirt, it will act as a barrier. The knife would have to be long, narrow, sharp and heavy. If the opponent is wearing something like a thick leather jacket then the chances of penetration begin to drop. The jacket would have to be tight against the front or the back for the knife to go through. Throwing a knife at someone is less dangerous to the thrower than throwing it at a piece of wood because the knife will not bounce off of someone's body and hit you.

Doctors I know have said too that theres a lot of structures just 1-2in under the skin too, that if cut, you will die if you dont get immediate medical help. Me? Biggest danger I face throwing these is my own, inexperienced ass lol. That bounce back would probably take an eye out. I had no idea spin was bad too in such a thing as a potential fight.

I got given a set of those dirt cheap fly-away light black "kunai shuriken" with the nylon cord wrap. Couldn't get them to stick at all with loads of serious trying then eventually threw them in frustration underarm and got really good results :'D

Nice detailed video.

Thank you so much!

Thank you for the video, it is excellent and very instructive. It belongs to the category "Must know!". It would also be good to see the effect of throwing knives on a moving target especially in the opposite direction of the thrower. It's a common scene in movies when someone tries to run away and gets shot in the back. According to the laws of physics, the movement of the target in the direction opposite to the thrower should reduce the speed of the knife and thus soften the impact and penetration. It would be good to see that in practice. I wish you all the best. BR

I don't think you can break bones with the handle. It would hurt a little but nothing you can just brush off. Tip first, okay, granted, but handle first? Nope. And during the gel test, I think the kunai penetrated just as deep as the kitchen knife. But you say one is big damage, and the other one is not. Hmmmm Either way, the camera work on this video is insanely good.

just reminded me, I have a bunch of wee kunai like the one shown. Did have one bounce back and hit my ribs when i was first learning to throw

Awesome video, brother. 👍👍 I love practical demonstrations like this. From what I remember, since Roman times, the wisdon has been that penetration as little as three inches into the chest or abdominal cavity will mean death, without immediate medical attention. That's certainly a scary thought. 😮

Thank you brother 🙏 yeah when good throw 3-4 inch penetration is like nothing and we talk about wood 😬 I tried flesh many times and it's like it wasn't even there if you don't hit the bone 🙏

@AdamCeladin Quite so! It's a scary thing. Even my light shuriken can have terribly deep penetration, if thrown with good power. I guess it's a good thing most people can't generate that power, eh? :-p

this channel is really cool. i'll subscribe

Thank you very much my friend :)) will have really cool video on Saturday

Fantastic throwing, Please mind that clothing adds a huge amount difference depending on the material. I have been throwing daggers for a few years and if for example wood is covered with jeans it's different then if something soft is covered like rubber. Please do a video with ballistic gel and different materials as clothing such as jeans, raincoat, leather, thick wool jacket etc. Some clothing is quite more resistant surprisingly even against heavier weapons especially if the point hits the target at an angle away from the 90 degrees.

Thank you my friend

throwing with half/full spin on unknown distances is always a problem in movies, games and etc. A polish fantasy book "cienioryt" have a throwing knife scene which I really liked. Main character throws his side arm towards an enemy, but he just breaks his face with the pommel, cause he didn't have time for guessing the rotations

Wasn't it the Austrians that went into the trench only armed with a knife? The Rondal dagger did just what you'd think it would do. I don't know how to do it but we got to try to get you a ballistic gelatin torso. Maybe ballistic dummy Labs will sponsor you for a video I don't know. Can you ask your team to reach out? Tell them to make sure it's a zombie torso for KZread. Your the best Adam Celadin!

That was Italians 😎🔪 yeah I reach out to Ballistic Dummy lab but they offered only discount and it would still cost sooo much you know but there are fine 🙂 thank you brother

Many of the throws on the ballistic gel had significant contact with the post the gel was sitting on. That had to effect the penetration of the throw.

Sooo cool ❤like always, pozdro z Polski bracie

Would like to see something similar with different types and sizes of throwing stars.

After seeing you stick the back-end of the knife, I couldn't help but think: What about double-sided thrown weapons?

I made one in my buddies forge, one side is pointier and the other side is fat. One gets good penetration while the other side sticks but hits real loud

Hello! I think that the use of plates with blunt, rounded ends will be very suitable for real self-defense! Rounded plates can cause serious injuries but not fatal(as you said)!Which makes them ideal non-lethal means of self-defense!There is a lot of potential in using these.Good luck!

The reality is, even gun mostly fail on one shot one kill

Awesome video.......

I always tell myself that, in the movies, they use poison, to explane the instant kill. A little Poison Arrow Frog secretions or curare (or curarei)...

It's good research, but Adam, you forgot one important thing. It's pain. Person can die from pain shock. When we speak about knife fight, more people died from pain shock, then blood lose, or demage internal organs. You can easy find statistick if you want.

I have once thrown two knifes from a friend who was very much into asian martial combat. The two knifes looked a little bit like the one with the broad tip, but they were not wide that and the tip more shaped like a spear point and easily four inches. Then came the broadest part, followed by easily six inches of blade going again narrower and a small handle. The lower half of the blade directly above the tip was blunt. They had bands of silk like cloth tied to the ring at the end of the grip. They were huge, heavy and easy to throw even for a total newb like me. No idea how good they would have worked out as a knife in combat, as they were totally top heavy. But that is a kukri too. Never seen similar knifes again.

I bet the silk cloth has the same function as fletching/feather in an arrow: it drags through the air a bit in order to prevent spinning and keep the tip straight. It allows you to use the same technique regardless of the distance.

One thing to note is the wound channel, once that blade flopps around on the inside thats continually exapanding the wound channel increasing blood loss, thats the same effect that happens with a spear on a mouse or boar

I do not know what it's called exactly, but that "flopping effect" is the most lethal part, once the animal runs away and it flops, they are instantly dead, this wouldn't be as bad with a knife, but it would cause massive hemorrhaging

I am a nurse confused by this debate. Human anatomy is very simple that you need organs and blood. It’s like a bottle of water that gets a hole in it, it’s going to empty slowly. If we create a wound in the flesh barrier to the subcutis . It confuses me how people don’t know anatomy & physics
