Watch an expert thrower take you through everything from knives to tomahawks. What is your verdict? Which weapon do you think is the best?
The slow motion in this video really illustrates our expert’s style and just how easily some of those weapons penetrate the gel skin of “Casualty Carl” – and the meat ribs – which we hope his spouse does not miss when she checks the freezer!
Basically, out of this, we see that the heavier the knife or tomahawk is the further it will pass through skin tissue. It makes sense but we must also consider the person carrying the weapon. A small woman throwing Multi-Mission Axe may not be as beneficial to her family as tossing a lighter weigh DMO Breacher!
In other words, male or female, throw what you can handle, what is best and safest for you. But indeed, learn how to throw!
I have the same k-bar and the tip is always bending

Nope
Yes
One would imagine!….lmmfao!
Dan, you’d love this.
Is that the same guy who blew up the pickup & barely missed getting hit by flying metal parts? And now he’s throwing sharp things, better run!
Probably because you have a knock off if it says k-bar the real thing is spelt ka-bar
You are gonna want to hang on to your weapon…when your gun runs out you don’t throw it either. This is romantic bs. Too much television.
I have a grandfors bruks throwing ax and would sink to the handle in a chest.
Say your ninja batman skillz are a bit dull that day…your just gonna lose your hatchet and be standing there looking silly.
Btw hand to hand combat is much easier with your knife or hatchet in your hand and not in a ditch or something.
Hmmm ! Point I take away from this is unless you throw a lot and have the proper distance for the spin and weight you probably just lost your weapon unless you got really lucky. I must say it sure looks fun though.
Yup and yup
If it doesn’t kill someone, then they sure as hell aren’t going to want to get up after getting hit with one.
Even if it doesn’t stick correctly
In the hands of the right thrower, yes. In the hands of most of us probably get you chased down and your$#%&!@*kicked…
Original Ka-bar is purposely made from a softer steel than modern knives. It was made for military use, and dueto it’s softer composition is easier to sharpen, and will also bend rather than break like a harder knife might. They are very durable.
I do it out of my head and dont look on the knife and i am not English but dutch
Use rocks
Sheera Bug
If it’s sharp
Not sure how many takes you did –but nice throwing. Typically throwing is iffy at best for me. Hold – spin and distance are all crucial and not well controlled in a spontaneous situation. My own summary is to hang on to your weapon cause your chances of sticking your weapon point first in a throw and much less than Fifty fifty.
Be more than embarrassing to have your opponent use your own weapon on you.
We throw knives and hawks regularly here. Mine will definitely break bones or do other catastrophic damage. We teach safety first to our students at the Pack Rat School of High Performance Hawkery and Knife Works. In the advanced group, we also throw in the dark with the hawks covered in glow stick goo! Loads of fun.
I need to practice with my axes
None of them has to kill. They just have to be disabled from coming at you. Best thing to do is to avoid the situation all together.
