the first blade would snap immediately if it hits a hard object. also good luck trying to pull that back out after stabbing somebody dude had to wear a safety glove so the the bladey skull thing wont stab himself. also has a high change of turning around due insufficient support. axe blade is too close to handle, and the sharp bladed pommel is a recipe for sliced palm and trip to the ER

Generally speaking, the phrase "sword-shaped object" is used for those shiny, stainless steel things sold at stores in malls (growing up in Germany it was "Tobacconists" who put them in their windows along with throwing stars, Rambo survival knives, pistol crossbows and the like). It's clear, though, that Anthony is loath to apply even that damming label to the Klingon toothpick he's given.

So funny story, I had that predator axe thing when I was a kid (I think my brother gave it to me) and one day something happened where it got pulled out of my hand. The spike on the bottom that curves up towards you actually went in one side of my pinky and out the other. I ended up with 5 stitches on two separate holes in my finger and to this day still don't have complete feeling in my finger. Can confirm bad design.

It'll hit once, and hurt once, but might totally preclude defending yourself, or disabling or killing someone and actually winning a fight.

All knives are for cutting tendons and arteries. Unless you sever the spine or stick it in their head, stopping an attacker with a knife means killing their mobility (tendons) or causing enough bleeding to lower the bloodpressure enough for them to pass out. You need to know where those structures are, how to attack them, and be able to defend yourself from their attacks long enough for it to have the desired effect. Otherwise you are just hoping to be lucky.

I don’t have any mall ninja weapons, but it’d be fun to do convention ninja weapons (legit every convention I’ve been too has a few weapons booths, a lot of props or practice or not metal, but some are)

A lot of the convention booth guys get their cheap weapons from the same people that sell these to the mall knife shops I used to know a guy at a local flea market He sold ugly useless wall hangers like this on top of his table But under the table is where he kept his "spy equipment" he would sell if you asked He had radar detectors and jammers Hidden cameras Some of those tools for rolling letters up inside the envelope

Okay so the axe with the little knife in the back When I was 18, I got drunk and tried to cut down a tree with it, the handle shattered and the knife on the bottom flung straight up and severed my radial artery. In less than 5 minutes I was so badly soaked in my own blood that I was having trouble getting my clothes off.

Regarding the "It is thin like I would expect a rapier to be", this is propagating a particularly common myth. Historical rapiers tended towards having relatively thick, stiff blades. Antiques often have ricassos as thick as 8 to 12mm, tapering down to 3 or 4mm near the tip. They were a dedicated thrusting weapon and thus should be stiff, not thin and flexy.

They're pretty thin in the sense that they aren't WIDE Now they're pretty dense and round So you do end up with the same relative mass (hence why it being "light" is a sham)

@@1stCallipostle It's a case of Narrow/Wide and Thin/Thick being used interchangably. Rapiers tend towards being narrow but thick, but the modern replicas are usually both narrow and thin, which is wrong.

@@IPostSwords Usually is a strong word for these things in general With how prevalent "sword like objects" are at this point I'm down to just Discount those from the equation But yes thickness can refer to all three axes of an object's metrics, and thus can get pretty confusing

A lot of these are so extra dangerous. The hand punch dagger thing had sharp bits facing back towards the user, so if it rotates back at all while throwing a punch, it cuts your arm. Same with that tomahawk, some palm slicers at the bottom if your grip slips as well as a back facing knife to stab yourself in the shoulder lol

I hate to admit that me and my best friend bought entirely too much mall ninja crap in the mid and late 2000s. But it all ended up pretty much exactly like this video, we played with them throwing them at trees and shit and they inevitably broke because they were cheap garbage. Still had fun, it isn't like we carried them around or thought we were cool for having them, I just wanted legolas's dual swords and altair's fighting dagger.
