How deadly is this blade design?

well its a fighting knife, so pretty deady
Well if you get one stuck through your neck you'll probably die so... Pretty good.
>>34140147
It's on the stabby side of stabbiness.
>>34140147
Absolutely, the British call it the poison blade because it doesn't matter where you get stabbed with it you're done. It's like poison it's so devastating to the tissue.
>>34140818
Yeah, but the British also banned """Zombie Knives""", so forgive me for being skeptical of their opinion on knives.
This looks pretty deadly
>>34140147
What is this knife called exactly?
>>34141607
No more or less deadly than other "triangle" knives, which are like long pyramid shapes that create wounds that are difficult to sew shut.
Any knife that advertises causing someone to "bleed out in a minute" is a meme, because bleeding out that fast is entirely dependent on location, and not really wound size or shape.
You could jam that thing through your thigh and as long as you didn't hit a major artery you'd take plenty of time to bleed out, maybe even survive without medical attention in a good scenario.

Yah, and this design later evolved into the V-42 Stiletto.
Obligatory.

i always thought it was a barns sykes fighting knife
Very deadly, a lot of design effort went into producing this superb medieval weapon for...WWII.
Just think if the British could have designed tanks like they did daggers, it would have all been over in France in 1940.

To be fair, it was a precision instrument of murder for special forces putting Gerry guards in the dirt as they pulled off "impossible" raids.
There's a reason the Green Berets still have it on their crest and use it as an important ceremonial award.
>>34140147
It ain't a Kabar but it's OK I guess.
>>34143757
>kabar
>good
"impossible raids" Never been in the military or pulled such a raid off but having played a lot realistic video games over the years...good luck getting so close to an opponent that you can knife them. You will never knife someone who isn't AFK.
>>34143771
Yeah Anon, that's the gist.
1d4+1, maybe even +2
>>34143757
Is he talking about ammunitions for a knife ?
>>34143866
You are right, same thing with the bayonet, but I think this is not really for combat, but for doing night infiltration. Keep in mind most soldiers are deaf, so sneaking up on one should not be so hard.
>>34141751
>stiletto
I don't know man, maybe it's the perspective fucking me up but the blade looks a little too fat
>>34140818
>the british
>>34140147
Just as deadly as any other sharp, pointy piece of metal.
i'd say a little less deadly than the slightly more slender and pointy australian version
>>34144283
There is just as much shit you can dig up about americans, we all have special people in charge in some places, also that paper is a british one and is mocking the decisions of a local hospital

My dad had one of these with the gold crest and "Who Dares Wins" written on it.

Developed and issued to Commando's originally, many others, paras etc by the end of WW2

Getting stabbed with anything that goes deep enough to hit vital organs or potentially cause gangrene is generally pretty deadly. Hence why rapiers work.

Strange name for a knife
What is a good Fairbain Sykes repro?
>>34140818
What makes it so deadly compared to other knives?
>>34148585
Precision. It penetrates easily and deeply into vital areas compared to more utilitarian blades, and is designed around easily getting between ribs for covert takedowns.
>>34144260
>most soldiers are deaf
Not with modern electronic ear pro. You can hear much better than normal.
>>34140147
It would be extremely painful
>>34148585
With adequate velocity, tumbling and hydrastatic shock. Slower fatter blades can't compare to the wound channel.
>>34148585
It can fit between ribs and get to vital organs without having to smash the rib cage which a larger knife like a Bowie or K-bar would have to making it quick and silent.
It's double edge complements knife fighting techniques (such as the knifes creators defendu martial art) allowing for a wider variety of strikes compared to a single edged blade so if you are in a knife fight it could save your life compared to a utility knifes limited attacks, especially wide slashes which are used in knife fights to cut artery's.
It is also very pointed allowing for penetration with relative ease so stabbing a sentry in the neck can be done very quietly.
Like the name says it is perfect for fighting other people who are unarmed, unaware, or equipped with knives, however in modern combat it is somewhat obsolete as it cannot double as a utility knife like a k-bar, and if you are going to engage someone in melee combat, if they are unarmed then a k-bar will do just fine, and if they are prepared with say a sword or axe then your fighting knife is obsolete. The knife was based off policing in shanghai which often involved criminals having concealed blades and thus knife fighting was a reality. Modern war doesn't as close combatants either go hard with swords and axes or (more commonly) maintain distance with firearms.
Looks hot as fuck and I have a major crush on it as my grandfather was a royal marine commando on d-day and my father still has his knife.

How deadly is this blade design?

when its expensive, you know it's gud

>>34141649
you must be new here
>>34141607
>"This is one evil knife."
But is it capable of non-stop warfare?
>>34141649
The twist in the blade might create a tearing effect as it's pushed in, no? Either that or it would rotate and "screw" in, in which case it would be about the same.
