thats a pretty cool knife... but that hit didnt look immediatly fatal, which means he still could have been shot. (there are to many variables to say the knife is better)

A firearm has multiple shots, and fires at a much, much faster speed than any throwing knife. With that blade, you have one chance to hit your target, and that guy could have fired multiple rounds before the other guy even raised his arm to throw his blade.

Yeah a knife will beat a gun every time if you are using a stuffed dummy that cannot react or draw and does not give the added pressure or threat, funny video though.

People should just stop replying to U8Dust. Maybe she'll get bored and go away.

I'm dumber for having watched that.

But, I guess if you carry around a 17" long, Made in China Kukri around in your pants, you are as well.

I'll stick with my .45.

I don't think Coldsteel is made in China. They're very good quality blades.

I can catch a 95mph fast ball with my left hand. I shoot with my right. The only thing this guy gave me was a reason to take him down for attempted murder bloodying up my left hand. Hope he can catch bullets. I'm sure his center mass can.

To be sure, I'm not a hater; I've owned several Cold Steel knives and never had a problem with them. In fact, I carry one of their Urban Pal push knives on my work uniform. Their stuff wouldn't necessarilybe my first choice of gear, but I'm satisfied with it thus far.

I figured it took the idiot on the video to draw and throw his knife (illegal to carry) about 3 seconds. It took this guy 3 seconds to shoot 12 rounds (including reloading). Too this guy a little over a second to shoot 6 rounds.

I want to see that guy throw 12 of those knives in 3 seconds;)
