It'll seal most things, not all. I cut myself real fuckin bad one time because apparently can-openers are hard for me. Same principal as a regular bandage, you can bleed straight through until the thing has nothing to cling to
My uncle was stabbed with one of these cyclone kives... his shadow is still visible on the sidewalk from the instant vaporization that ensued after the blade's piercing contact. RIP Uncle Chaz
That’s weird because my uncle Cornelius said he asked a guy for $10 and when he said no he showed him the cool knife he got. He never saw the guy again😔
As a retired military medic, yes that is one of the nastiest wounds to try and fix. Bullets are significantly easier to deal with because they dont slice. And presurre works way better on "rough" wound profiles. Knifes in general are significantly harder that bullet wounds.
Rifle bullets do far more damage than this knife would. I have seen many bullet wounds and I can say with absolute certainty that this is more survivable than being shot with a rifle. That hydrostatic shock does Serious damage. It's not just a stretching of the tissue like with a handgun or the simple cutting of a knife edge. It literally destroys the flesh in that area. A person don't have to be a medic to see the destructive power of a rifle round... and that's not even accounting for shotguns. Besides that, the fact that these weapons cause damage (and even death) is The reason we have the Right to own/use them in self defense and in defense of others and Liberty. The supreme court ruled that once lethal force is authorized (justified), it doesn't matter what lethal force the defender uses and there is no "excessive force", because Death is the ultimate force. How can you be justified in lethal force, but then somehow use excessive force? The assailant has already surrendered his life when he tried to seriously injure, kidnap, rape or kill another person. There have been people (unfairly) charged for using "excessive" lethal force in self defense, because the cowardly DA thought they used more bullets than they should have... but the supreme court set that straight, saying "lethal force is lethal force". It matters not "how much lethal force" there is, because it's all just Lethal Force.
@@jasonh380 are you implying we are not to question the statements laid before us? what credibility does this guy have other than saying he was a medic under a RU-vid short?
Another thing to point out about knife wounds is that if the wound is somewhere you REALLY don't want it to be and deep enough, it's shape doesn't matter
@@user-vr3st1vo3l even that doesn't matter much. There's historical documentation of soldiers during the American civil war healing up just fine with triangular bayonet wounds.
The issue isnt that its too hard to stitch. Its that the damage usually has you bleed out before you can get medical attention. The tri-tip is a brutal example of deadly precision engineering. Edit: Gotta say, the choice to obfuscate the name of the knife and detail "tri-tip" as a whole has lead to a great deal of wonderful conversation......As well as a whole Lotta hot takes from people, all of which I implore those interested in weapons to read, as there's a good wealth of information passed about.
Plus his example is dumb anyway. Medical professionals fail to save hunters hit by arrows during hunting season all the time. Those same hospitals would fail you 101 times out of 100
...so all guns should be illegal? ...and especially shotguns? If I'm not mistaken, the FBI says shotguns are 99% lethal for those shot with them... but handguns and rifles are only about 15% and 34% respectively. It's pretty ridiculous when you can use a gun on a person (or ANY lethal weapon, like a car, a cannon and anything else)... but you can't use a triangle knife? It's ridiculous. The very fact that they cause damage and are lethal is the reason we have the RIGHT to have/use them in the first place.
@@deucedeuce1572 that is a gross over simplification of weapon laws my friend. As a guy who's lived around guns all his life there's a massive difference between a shotgun and a knife. For one a shotgun by Federal laws and specifications cannot go bellow a size of 26 inches across. Something far less hideable than a 6 inch blade with a compact design made easy to roll up a sleeve or in a boot. Fire arms also come with greater regulations than bladed armaments, and as such become far harder to track down an owner for one. Not everything is black and white. ESPECIALLY in armament talk. The tri-tip was banned for its fatality rate and degree of suffering it causes in conjunction with an inability to put legal restrictions on it as per a fire arm, as well as its easily hideable design
@@aster1760 Tell that to the supreme court and the 2nd Amendment. There is no "oversimplification" when it comes to the 2nd Amendment and the Right of The People to defend life and Liberty. Anything else is foolishness and cowardice.
Let's be honest. If you are in a situation where you have received a knife wound deadly enough to kill you without a doctor, the enemy is closer to you than the nearest doctor.
What is the point of this comment? If you get hit by a car, you are likely closer to that car than the nearest hospital. Same applies to deadly snake bites etc.
A knife that quickly slides in and out the body is a lot deadlier than a knife like this. When you’re stabbing someone to death you want to put as many holes in them as possible keep stabbing until you are 100% sure they’re dead. It’s easier to patch up a single strangely shaped wound than dozens of them.
also you can't slice anything with this which restricts you to STABBING ONLY. This knife is a novelty for weirdos who only want to defend themselves with stabbing motions.
@@tyoung9012 i own one, it definitly can slice. I was also in a sword fight, slicing is not effective, and even more so considering most individuals wear clothing
Honestly, I wouldn't doubt that a medical professional would be able to fix a wound like this, *but the big problem is if you have enough time to GET to them before you bleed out and high-five the Grim Reaper.*
Even if someone is right there ready for when it happens, this can cause too much damage to fix enough stuff in time to save them. This causes massive trauma and one will hemmorage so fast from so many places.
And given the massive size of the knife, it’s a safe guess to say that if you get stabbed by that you might have around a minute or even less before meeting your pals who where at the front of the charge
There’s a book called “Put 'Em Down, Take 'Em Out! Knife Fighting Techniques from Folsom Prison” that says when you stab someone you keep stabbing and don’t stop. It’s a good point because if you’re in a knife fight, you won’t come into a situation where you can just run away, someone is going to die.
The worst than this is spokes from a bicycle wheel that were sharpened. It is strong and very sharp. Also penetration from is big . To sum, one little hole and you will bleed and die. And Kevlar will not save you. Heard of it after one guy was killed by it.
The blade's lethality isn't in how difficult the wound is to fix, it's the fact that the design causes the puncture wound inflicted from it can't be effectively sealed by tissue pressure as opposed to a single slice puncture. Which results in the wounded individual typically bleeding to death well before they can get medical attention.
@@hollundergiersch8691 I explained it in my initial comment: The cyclone knife creates three spiraling incisions at different angles. This prevents the body’s soft tissue pressure from being able to make a seal around the wound, since the pressure seal will be full of gaps for blood to leak through. In the case of a flat blade, a single cut incision is made. So only a single direction of pressure is needed to slow bleeding. It’s the difference of a bucket full of water having a single cut in it versus having three gouges in it. One leak dribbles a bit, the other leak pours.
If you have basic knife fighting knowledge then you can cause similar or more damage than this thing with a conventional knife. a thrust cut from a conventional knife will kill you faster and be harder to patch due to size than this thing
The fact of the matter is that smiths have been twisting lengths of shaped steel for a very long time. If this actually made stabs more lethal, smallswords and estocs would have spiral blades.
@@deputyhobbs9683 I'm curious as to why you say that? I wouldn't think twisting the metal would inherently add mass, and since metal that's been twisted and then flattened is often used for swords, I wouldn't think it would be weaker either. If anything, a cursory googling suggests it would be stronger. And estocs and smallswords (in contrast to rapiers) often had square or triangular blades already, so twisting them seems fairly straightforward. Do you have a source you can point me to that suggests twisted metal swords would be weaker/heavier? Or some personal metallurgical expertise that's relevant here?
It's not about lethality. Either design kills just as effectively as the other. It's about the ones that do survive will require more medical assistance than ones attacked with a regular blade. Medical attention that could be given to someone else in need
@@deputyhobbs9683 the twist makes it harder to penatrate flesh it requires a lot of pressure to stab someone with the twist and triangle design good luck stabbing through a rib cage with that shirt knife
not necessarily. a surgeon will just likely cut out the ruined tissue and the suture a cleaner wound shut, yeah there will be tissue missing but unless the blade passes through something truely important like the heart, lung or kidney, it realy isnt all that difficult to just remove compromised tissue. and if you got stabed some where important like aforementioned, it dosen't realy matter all that much you will mostlikly already be doa.
This knife is kind of a derivative of a more deadly twist shaped knife that can do more damage on its stabs so it technically isnt the worlds deadliest knife anyway.
Yeah I actually had surgery for a hernia not too long ago and the surgeon didn’t use any stitches. He used something called dermabond and I have no idea how it works but it worked like a dream and now I’m chillin like nothing ever happened
@@baldrodinnson4468 it just peels off in a couple days just like if you were to put regular Elmer’s glue on your hand and leave it it would eventually peel off. It’s only supposed to stay long enough for the wound to begin healing. It’s basically a quick and easy way to do stitches if you don’t care about the cut leaving a scar.
@@Wraith-tf5zq dermabond is cool asf, and easy to apply too. Get the pen and crack the inner tube and ez tissue super glue. We used it to patch up an old lady that had paper thin skin after she cut herself up with a fall.
@@CoachingLake178 What about the knifes they use to kill sharks? You stab the shark and then the CO2 canister inside instantly releases all its CO2, EXPLODING the shark. Stabbing a person with that could probably instantly explode their lungs.
Another seriously deadly knife is the German War Knife also known as Long Knife (Langes Messer). It's straight and flat, but as deadly as a mexican machete. Used effectively, the other person will be dead on the spot . Death comes not from a complex wound but from severing enough important body parts, such as the spine or hapatic vein .
It's a screw. By mechanical design they don't come out very easily. You get one stab and it's probably gonna get stuck in the person. Meanwhile with a regular knife you can slash and stab dozens of times in under a minute. And also open an Amazon package. This knife does nothing besides looking cool.
@@wolacouska3698 twisted knives aren't a big deal. Hollow points could be but at the same time in a life or death situation you use what you got, and hollow points are good for hunting. So unless you can prove that the hollow points were bought specifically for the purpose of doing more damage to other humans rather than for hunting small game it's a moot point.
a stuck knife in your chest is way less dangerous than a wound cause by a knife that is no longer there, as long the object is stuck it stop the bleeding, first thing you learn when learning first aid is never removed stuck object from the wound to not cause bleeding
Thank you, I've been feeling so guilty about all the stabbing I've been doing, but you've given a fresh perspective and now I feel like I can get back out there and really give it my all.
10 years Army 5 years Sheriffs Dept. We used quick Gel powder to pack the wounds. Works well but can cause burns because of the thermo chemical action in some bigger wounds but beats bleeding to death.
You can close the outside wound but deeper wounds on a battle field can be fatal, especially if its a bullet or stab wound. Pressure can only do so much depending on what's occurred but neither is deadlier than a poop smeared stick!
That thing is a crowbar playing dress-up, not a fighting knife. The wide point will require more force to penetrate, and it’ll have a lot harder time punching through clothes or slipping between ribs than something like the Fairbairn-Sykes or even a KABAR. Since it’s generally ill advised to let blades rotate in your hand whilst inserting them into people, you’ll either have to muscle it all the way in, or twist your wrist at an awkward angle to get the most out of it. Edge alignment for any sort of slash is basically impossible, and even if you get lucky, you’ll have to be even luckier to do real damage. This sort of tacticool nonsense is only really good for cosplay.
I’ve always found the myth of triangular wounds being impossible to stitch, so utterly bizarre. Given all the other wounds that surgeons could deal with even as far back as the 17th century, and the fact that plenty of soldiers survived being bayoneted, the popularity of this myth is perplexing.
It's probably barely nominally more damage than a traditional double-edged dagger that is twisted after insertion. I'd wager its main benefit is in its strength, being thicker and triangular, and even the twist itself could be adding strength afaik. If you're looking to do more damage though, I'd argue multiple deep wounds to critical areas trumps the shape of a single wound from this thing. I'd also worry that it could get stuck inside somebody if the blade gets jammed behind a bone or twisted around something, and it wants to twist while pulling out. Probably wouldn't actually happen but it's worth finding out about. And like Javier said, it can't be used as a normal knife for anything else except stabbing.
ive had a triangular incision for a chest tube to be inserted, in a hospital. At the same time, I had a long straight incision down my belly for a related issue. The wound on my belly healed way faster than the triangular cut. Even in a hospital, where surgeons are doing the cutting, I can attest to the fact that a triangular wound takes much longer to heal.
We have Celox-A. It's a hemostatic agent in a granulated form where you apply on the site of bleed. Almost instantly stems bleeds. You'd be surprised what medical equipment we have.
Yea recently tried this stuff called Jelonet, it's basically a bandage soaked in something that never dries, or sticks/bonds to your skin. My uncle lost the tips of two fingers (one the entire pad of his finger was gone, just the nail and 1cm of flesh was left, after 2 months of jelonets (changed every 2-3 days) and a tensor wrap he almost has his full finger back. Later found out they also use this stuff inside you, like on ulcers, as it basically acts like skin, while allowing the wound to heal.
Packing wounds with hemostatic gauze is insanely difficult, you have to visualize a lacerated vessel, maintain pressure, so you can get the guys onto the artery before it gets blood on it and then pack it in tight so that when the guys activates due to the blood, it creates a clot inside of the vessel very straight edges, and very odd cuts, absolutely make that considerably more difficult to do
Deadlier at stabbing or not, it is about the only thing this knife has going for it, cause it sacrifices most other things knives are so useful for. As a blacksmith myself, one of my biggest points of pride is the fact people can, and do, use my work to prepare their meals. People cook food with the knives I make, that gives me the good vibes. But good luck doing that with one of these...
It is a weapon though. Various weapons were made specifically for chopping or cutting and various more made specifically for stabbing or piercing. This is a stabbing weapon albeit not the best.
Yeah one of the reasons I heard this type of knife was “illegal” in most places was because it was developed specifically with the intention of using it to cause great bodily harm. As a pocket knife enthusiast I tell ppl all the time I not trying to carry a weapon, I’m trying to have a useful tool on me at alll times. Knives are tools, but almost anything can be wielded as a weapon.
@@stepdaddyjr2912 yeah, and that's weird, if you intend to kill someone better target their vital parts like heart and throat, if people have time to stab their target multiple times then why don't they stab the most vital parts?
@@rivalifritdarc2481 when you are in a situation like that unless you have training and can control your actions most people will let their adrenaline take over and stab whatever they can hit there’s no thought behind placement
Also the design limits cutting depth. If you want a similar effect to this you can use a normal knife, stab and then twist. Personally I would prefer to not waste any time twisting the knife, rather I would just stab again
Also, the shape of the wound doesn't matter, because you're never going to successfully make more than a shallow puncture with that stupid chunky thing in the first place. The combination of how fat it is, plus the drill-like shape, means even a t-shirt and hoodie would be enough to jam up the blade and stop it from penetrating deeply, whereas an ordinary switchblade will pierce them just fine. Triangular thrusting blades are famous for their effectiveness, but those were always long, slender, and thin. Making the blade wider, thicker, stubbier, _and_ introducing the spiral completely works against everything that makes triangular blades effective for piercing.
You do realize these were originally designed this way for the military to puncture thick clothing and modified for easier penetration of Kevlar with the design focused on moving material away from the point essier.
@@HovektheArtist bullshit. Why tf would you want a BIGGER cross section for penetration? Think about what you said for a second... for piercing you want LESS crossection, not more. Think stileto or rondel.
Agreed 👍🏿 this video kinda triggered me lmao 🤣 and it's possibly not the deadliest, but it is deadly and hard to treat if all alone or without medical experience. He says this hypothetical situation, like you got stabbed in the hospital.
If I remember correctly the worst part about this isn't the shape itself but that it has a duct, so wound is immidiatly decompressed and you start to lead out instantly.
But the duct let’s the wound bleed like .5 seconds faster then a normal knife since a the blade is immediately pulled out. So the duct is pretty much irrelevant
I talked with a trauma surgeon once on a delivery. He said that the wound from a 2 inch wing span hunting arrow broad head is the hardest thing he has ever dealt with. Some guy fell out of a stand onto his quiver. From gsw, to shrapnel, To rebar punctures. He said that the 2 inch barbed offset arrow head was the worst puncture wound.
This looks like it would hurt, but I doubt it would kill any better than another knife of similar length. Would be really cool as a collection piece, would love a wooden version of this (I collect wooden swords and have been expanding to daggers, a knife like this seems awesome, but I like wood and don't care for metal)
@@thatguy6919 Unfortunately I saw it a few years ago so I don't have it on me. Basically though, it was just journal entries of the soldiers wounds and the progress of it healing, day by day. It's difficult, yes, and you can't exactly patch it up like other knife wounds, however it's very possible to deal with.
for someone looking for the deadliest knives are ballistic knives and wasp c02 knives are deadly but any knife longer than 5-7 inches is lethal because it can reach organs. but again pressure to a wound so a knife won’t do much unless the attacker goes cycle and stabs like 20 times.
Not really. A dagger is just as long and has two edges, making it incredibly versatile. Also, they've been around for thousands of years, and as such, they have a much higher body count by default. Just get a dagger. Hell, a 3-inch pocket knife could get you the same effect.
@@BertzTriscutversatility doesn't make it deadlier. neither does how long something exists. and that every knife can kill is exactly what im saying, but this one makes the bleeding harder to stop while only trading a bit of penetration.
No, this dagger is less deadly because it is harder to sink into someone. Most modern combat knives are between 6.75 and 9 inches in blade length. This is for a reason, and it's that a ~7 inch wound to the abdomen is statistically almost always disabling and will kill something like 90% of people.
@@420JackG im not denying that, a rondell would surely have better penetration. but youre not dealing with chain mail or padded armor. its just clothes, thoose dont resist a stab very well. also the blades length isnt much of a contributing factur, its width and how force gets distributed. i work as a paramedic and ive seen my fair share of stab wounds caused by regular knifes. they are no joke by any means, but we can take measures against them. its way harder to fix up a wound caused by that geometry.
The deadliest knife is the one that makes the biggest wound, it's that simple. It hits more stuff, you'll bleed out faster, and it's harder to fix simply by sheer volume.
There's something eerily paradoxical about a dagger designed as a drillbit -- which effectively disqualifies it from all practical use -- to achieve maximum stabbing power.
The thing about penetrating knife wounds is that you cannot simply "squirt some gel in there" or sprinkle quick clot over it. The internal damage is not going away because the surface is closed. Anyone trained to fight with a knife knows to stab, twist, and pull. This creates wounds that remove inches of tissue and shred veins. Gunshots are easy to clean up by comparison.
You’re not going to apply quick clot to a knife wound. Quick clot is for a situation like, “oh, his arm is ripped off, blood is spurting out of the arteries, let me seal those off”
knife wounds are much more difficult to treat than gun shot wounds. Gunshots partially cauterize the wound because of the heat of the bullet, and also, a bullet is mostly an impact injury, vs a knife slicing you.
Was thinking this too, GSWs are still deadly but usually only one or two will be in a tough spot for a surgeon. SWs are going to be both on target and much more blood loss.
This guy wins the award for "not even a mild conception of what he's talking about" 1. Knife wounds harder to close FULL STOP 2. Bullets dont cut apart the flesh, they push through it creating a keyhole which can be closed, actually cutting the flesh apart makes this significantly harder to 'close' 3. You cant clot blood all the time, getting stabbed in CERTAIN PLACES is a death sentence with this knife, you still have to know how to use it
I think Cloud from Final Fantasy VII said that. lol. (In many of the pictures and animations it's literally bigger than he is. No real person could ever swing a sword that big unless it was made out of fiber glass or something... and even than it would be almost impossible to control, because of its broad surfaces).
DeadliEST. That’s a comparative term. You’re telling me this isn’t any worse than getting stabbed with a normally shaped knife? Nobody said it was worse than sitting on a bomb.
I'd think it would be either something ridged or one of the old experimental knives that used gases to expand the wound or they did try to make a explosive knife at some point
Not a medical professional, but from my perspective, the most dangerous weapons usually just have the best compromise between penetration and power. Shape isn't as important, as long as it doesn't impede penetration.
I didn’t know surgeons had this gel in an alleyway at 2am or on the battlefield. I know there’s combat medics but they wouldn’t be able to help someone who got a well placed thrust from this unless they’re in the immediate vicinity
No to really it might to a little bit more damage but not enough to justify having a twist what the twist does is require more effort and pressure to stab someone. It literally makes it harder to stab someone
I saw someone test it. It has terrible penetration compared to a standard knife, so you're less likely to wound someone in the first place no matter how easy or difficult it would be to treat it afterwards.
Thanks for the tip. Now all I need is a group of extremely-talented surgeons and some probably expensive medical equipment as an everyday carry. I'll probably won't leave my house without them! 😊
What makes something lethal is the amount of damage it does in a short period of time prior to getting care. If you destroy someone's liver, they will bleed extremely quickly into their abdomen, same for the spleen. It's not about if we can help, rather will we get there in time to help. Fancy knife or not if the damage isn't enough to kill you before help gets there, or the damage isn't literally too much so there is no way we can actually help, then it's probably not any more lethal than the next thing.
Wait until this guy finds out you can twist the knife ripping massive chunks of flesh from the body and easily disemboweling a target. Hugely misunderstanding the weapon here, it's not for making simple stabs.
But you said it yourself, people say it’s a lot harder, not that it is impossible. So they are still correct. But I did just learn about alternate methods to deal with wounds, so thank you!
Well, it is meant to tear up the location it is being used on. Not only is it difficult to close the wound, but it also causes a person to bleed out before anyone can repair the location.
My personal opinion for most deadly knife would be one that has a hallow side with a hole on one end and one on the other so that you can’t just keep the knife in to stop the bleeding. The handle can be taken off to reveal more holes
The thing about this knife isn’t that it’s too effective, it’s the same problem as a serrated bayonet: it causes an excessive amount of unnecessary suffering to do the same job you can do with a more merciful knife but without the practicality of a regular knife
bro i'm a paramedic, and i don't know about the effectivity of the knife, but one thing i know, by the time you come into the hospital you died 3 times over and reverse and we can't do balls about internal bleedings, unless the weapon is still in the patient.
At the end of the day it’s all about location and severity. Just like a 9mm through and through the bicep is relatively simple when compared to 5.56 that bounced around inside of someone. Same applies here as a stab wound to the shoulder is probably less severe than a gut wounds that will rupture organs or intestines.
that’s why you use a shark killing tool like the one that ejects air into the body super effective especially on the organs specifically the liver or kidney
A normal knife would still be more effective if you go for a slash, but if you want something specifically to be lethal with a single stab then a poisoned would be the most reliable method
I think the point behind this knife, isn't that it will prevent a medical professional from stopping the bleeding. It's the fact that on a battlefield, there rarely are medical professionals right there on the front lines. Even medics, while they may be doctors or paramedics outside of their military service, are SEVERELY limited in what they have access to. So the odds are that if someone is stabbed with this knife by a commando unit, the time to get that person to a 'medical professional' to treat the wound is greatly shortened, as the person is likely to bleed out long before that can happen.
Surgeon: What’s the wound? Assistant: chemical burns and shrapnel damage from an explosion. Surgeon: That’s easy enough. Anything else? Assistant: He was stabbed by one of those weird spiral knives. Surgeon: Nah, I can’t fix that. He’s done for. Put’em in a bag and ship’em to the mortuary.
The idea behind this knife is particularly the twisting motion. Sure you can shoot your tissue if you have enough, put the tissue is torn to shreds the person can probably bleed out before getting treatment
The ballisong with the jagged shapped blade is the worst. Stab, twist, pull… chopped meat follows with blood… you gotta leave that twister in which defeats the purpose
Only use quick clot as a last resort because a lot of the time if you pour quick clot into a wound, you have to amputate it afterwards because it is extremely difficult to clean that stuff back out. It is best to just pack the wound and apply a tourniquet, having direct pressure on the wound is the MOST important thing you can do, stick your finger in the hole and feel for blood coming out with force and apply the pressure there with the gauze. Also because it’s a foreign body, it will increase the risk for a bad infection. When it’s removed, the bleeding begins anew not to mention when used in large amounts to control heavy bleeding, there is the potential for significant heat production, thus causing thermal burns.
Quick clot comes in packs and treated gauze now to correct the issues you mentioned with powder. They also are prehydrated to prevent a violent exothermic reaction. It's better to pack the wound with the sponges and gauze. Then apply a pressure dressing.
