Here we have Google Boy and Shortie
(not to be confused with Shorty) demonstrating two different angles to hold a knife when stabbing someone. Notice the tip of the blade in photo 1 and how the tip of the blade is reversed in photo 2.
At first I would have thought photo 2 is correct but the more we looked at it photo 1 seems correct.
Upon further discussion we have decided it depends on the damage to be inflicted. For numerous stab wounds photo 1 would be the proper blade angle. To really slice someone up photo 2 seems to be the proper blade angle.
How would you hold the blade?
Happy Halloween
I would hold the blade side up and stab low, around the mid-section, and lift upward to get as many vital organs as possible. If you get him low enough, you can disembowel him.
ReplyDeleteGood point Bruce!
ReplyDeletePhoto 2 slice down but photo 1 would just be jabs unless starting in the center as you said Keith
Cutting edge down, aim for the heart, stab, twist, withdraw.
ReplyDeleteRun like hell, making sure not to step in pools of blood leaving footprints that CSI people could use to link you to the crime.
Sounds like you have waay to much time on your hands and are in dire need of a Caribbean cruise. Stepping up efforts and in the meantime making mental note to self not to go to steakhouse with Red until after cruise.
ReplyDeleteI think it depends on the person and where their weight is needed. For instance, shortie (being short and all) would probably use photo #1. Starting high for her allows for her to put her full body weight into ripping the knife down. Where as somone like me would probably benefit more from using photo #1 and going from bottom to top.

I should learn to proofread! I meant to put: For instance, shortie (being short and all) would probably use photo #2

ReplyDeleteid probably just kick him in the nuts and be done with it. violence is so over rated.
ReplyDeleteI concur with Uncle Keith.
ReplyDeleteDepends....
ReplyDeleteIf they are much taller than you...you go for THEIR right upper abdomen upwards underneath their rib cage to lacerate their liver....
Otherwise, I don't go in as ANY of the above have posted. You guys are all aiming for thoracic organs which are guarded by ribs and a chestplate.
WHY MAKE IT HARD? You come in with the knife fast and HORIZONTAL to the ground and slash across the jugular and carotid. If you can get all the way across the neck you do it.
Watch for the spray. Don't take your antiinflammatories...make sure the glove doesn't fit...and pray you have the dumbest jury on the planet to acquit you because they couldn't understand the DNA evidence.
I have to say that the best part of this post is the comments. How dark are we all? After the day I was having, it was nice to play kill someone. Course, Red, we didn't demonstrate the anal killing that we were informed of. Now that would be a diagram.
ReplyDeleteWho even wants to get close enough to be anal about killing? Yes definitely way too much on one's hands.
ReplyDeleteI-66: Good point on the foot prints, but the CSI will find something for sure. They always do.
ReplyDeleteJeremy:We need to step away from our computers once in a while so we don't go mad. Then we have debates on how to hold a big knife and how to hold it for stabbing.
Google Boy: Agreed
Brico: Yeah kicking in the nuts is more my cup-o-tea but IF you had a big freaking knife how should it be held? See.
Shortie: I hear ya sister we are some sick puppies. The anal killing she speaks of came from another co-worker who was told to take the big knife up the butt hole and twist and this will sever the spinal cord or something to that gruesome effect.
Jeremy: Sometimes anal is the way to go.
HAHAHAHAHA!
Hmm... I am late to the discussion, but perhaps it's best to hide the knife behind your back, hug your victim, and then STAB THEM IN THE KIDNEYS REPEATEDLY (blade sideways, I think).
ReplyDeleteOkay. I'm just cringing thinking about that now.
Wow. Google Boy sure does seem to be enjoying that stabbing! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou could do all kinds of fun stuff with the blade, but in the end the result is the same.
ReplyDeleteIf you really wanted to get creative, and sadistic, couldn't we use something like a rolling pin and a rail spike? That would be an interesting picture....
You should ask a true expert on this subject. Anybody got O.J. Simpson's phone number?
ReplyDeleteMadame M: Why I'm surprised at you! Sneaky! I like it!
ReplyDeleteTish: Google Boy liked getting attacked by Shortie.
Butt: Interesting idea! Me thinks my readers are a sick bunch and might enjoy something of this sort again.
Bruce: What blog? I have no blog for you my man. The link seems to be a dud.
Lugi: He would be perfect! They say everyone is 6 people or less from anyone in the world. Ok who will contact O.J. for the proper way to hold the knife?
The end result seems to be personal preference not just holding the knife but how much pain to inflict be it fast or slow & painful.
You are a sick bunch... I love it!
Neither of these is best. You need to angle the handle in your hand, so it goes diagonally across the palm...if it goes straight across the palm, that's a "hammer" grip and doesn't work well.
ReplyDeleteEither lay the dull side of the blade across your forearm so it flows naturally with your hand, or reverse it so the blade comes from the top of your hand to make jabbing cuts.
Aim for soft spots like the throat, the armpit, and the inside of the thigh (the femoral artery is there). Do not aim for the chest or other areas with bone density.
