honest question about the "no spin" throw. would it be no longer throwing a knife if it was weighted? a screw driver with a light handle and thick or long driver tend to be REALLY easy to throw. it doesnt rotate. and essentially throws like a knife. youd think ice picks would throw the same way but not really. anyways. ive never needed to guide with my finger. i just use stuff with a weighted tip. or is the average screw driver being a throwing dart just too much info for the internet to have?
With enough practice, you can get good at anything. Get injured enough, and, if you're still intact, eventually you'll gain some knowledge of how to fail to injure yourself. And also probably a lot more about how to succeed. X^]

I love Brian's safety rant after jaso successfully catches the knife, but is standing there in open footwear as the instructor stops blades with his feet
I liked how it sounded like he was celebrating at the same time. I could be wrong but "don't do that impressive thing I'm glad to have witnessed in person" seems like the right response and he sounded like he was saying it in that sort of way.
@@williamturner6192 it sounded like he was putting on the “I’m gonna write you up” angle, but he was definitely serious in saying that was a dumb idea despite wearing open-toed shoes whilst handing sharp objects that can ricochet. I definitely would have done the same bit of, “NO! That could have gone straight through your hand! Do not catch flying knives.” My mantra is “an airborne/falling knife has no handle” for a reason.
This brought me back to a culinary arts course I took back in college. Chef gave the best advice on knife safety: "If you drop a knife, don't try to catch it because you might."
Fencing masks are pretty tough... they are made to withstand A LOT OF force. A broken blade can kill you and the mask is there to prevent that. A FIE approved fencing mask can take up to 1600N, so it's pretty impressive that they can puncture it with a knife throw.
@@oblivionfade cuz the knife has some good mass, but is also very pointy, smt like those arrows with giant metal tip that can pierce through a lot of thick stuff
I can't believe Jason caught that knife! And I can't believe the comments aren't talking about it more! That was absolutely insane and he should never try it again that was a once in a lifetime sight and I'm so glad it was recorded for the internet

And, of course; awesome ep as always. I'm way too tempted to set up the cardboard/chopstick practice target for myself...have plenty of both laying around...
@@laa0fa502 I have yet to watch an episode that I didn't find interesting in summer way and ultimately worth it, though some are better than others. This was lately entertaining more than anything else, but you'll find that the fact Jason caught a knife without hurting himself is very surprising for him, let alone the show. I highly recommend you watch all of their weapon making videos as well as all their smoke bomb videos. If those aren't enough to get you hooked, I don't know what is
I loved doing this growing up. Started with screwdrivers, went up to hangers, and eventually did nails and needles. Always loved one upping some guy throwing knives. And yes, it ended up being a great real world skill years later... (facepalm) cleaning up the back room of an apparel store when someone broke a ton of hangers. It was literally faster to throw all the broken hangers than to carry them to the trash bin. The boss came in saw me and the roomie throwing them, and offered to 'catch' them to help. We both kind of looked at one another, turned back to him and said definitively "no." He didn't understand why... so I buried a hanger a foot and a half deep in a pile of cardboard and asked him to leave. LOVE throwing spikes and needles.
Mr: releases knife throwing episode Me: prepare the injury counter Brian and Jason: *are fine throughout* Everyone: *likes and subs* ya deserved it fellas
As much as I love watching you guys just doing stuff seeing the knife hacky sack trick at the very beginning just had me on edge the whole time. Also everytime you guys cocked back that knife I was like "please don't get face meat on your tips.". Jason Murphy? No, more like Jason Borne! Lmao
As soon as I realised how much Zach throwing the construction nails reminded me of Bullseye, Jason brings up Daredevil and I’m really happy to see some cool nerd representation on screen.
I did this with my dad in the garage a few times. At first i tried throwing knives with the spins and flips, and while looking cool, nothing beat getting a solid step forward and letting the knife carry itself deep into the target. Nothing more satisfying then having trouble pulling the knife out after a nice solid 'thunk' Besides, most of the times i tried doing the flips and spins they bounced off or missed. While the no spin is really really great at low ranges. Very consistent. I'd say more consistent then the spins. Way less math, way more power, way more fun.
On the chopsticks into wood, I have actually in past been in the bush and chopped sticks with an angles tip, after which I spent an afternoon throwing them into trees.
after looking at the footage again and again... murphy is throwing scaredly because brian is in the way... brian has the advantage of not having nothing on the left where he is putting he balance after the throw... so he can give it a little more umph ... but murphy has the hand of brian at the beggining... and then he cant balance himself after the throw because brian is still there so he dont know if the hand of brian will return or do what. so he is throwing with less force and half the swing...
As a amateur knife thrower (100 hrs or so) which does no spin, I totally relate to him Hackie-Sacking the knife. I'm so use to having it ricochet pass me that it doesnt even faze me. Only the tip is sharp, but it is REALLY sharp!
I recently took up no spin knife throwing and it took me like 3 days before I could get one to stick somewhat consistently. Going off of just RUclips tutorials and a dead tree, and those exact knives they start with. They're like 20 bucks on Amazon for the 3, great for starting. I think the main thing that gave me grief was my hand wanted to tilt so my finger wouldn't follow the spine of the knife as it came out of my hand, so it would come out and like twirl diagonally.
Wooooooow I've listened to this video 3 times today being distracted with chores and never looked up. This 4th time I look up and see the same knives I bought off Amazon 2 years ago being thrown during the 1st half on the video. SCZO throwers - 9" 8oz and I love them. Few know that the design is based on a knife first available to during the Vietnam era by a knife maker who's name escaped me but the design is battle tested.
"Brian's performance did not stop at production. He dedicated his body, his essence, his hair to the craft of entertainment by sculpting his visage into the wonder you see above"
This reminds of the kinds of things I'd do during the boring down times while helping my dad around the house. I'd take screwdrivers or files and try to throw them so they stick in the ground. Got decently well at it, it usually would only take me one or two tries per item to stick them.
What made the knife catching better is: 1. It worked when it never should have. 2. Brian had a completely normal reaction. 3. Jason ABSOLUTELY knew it was a bad idea as it was happening. 4. I was eventually able to breathe again through the laughter. I do get it, the instinct is to catch it, but channel that into jumping backwards away from the injury counter fan (the knife).
There's only a handful of different things you can do that truly embody the spirit of "remind me not to fuck with this guy." This entire video is a library of it.
*Someone at MR's insurance providers sees title of video and calls over entire office* *All watches video.* *Jason catches knife.* *Entire office simultaneous facepalm.*
Honestly most times I expect Jason to get pretty close because he's trying to understand from jump, while Brian seems like he learn more from his failures.
I feel like Brian should have an advantage with this kind of thing. I mean, he's a magician. They kind of have to be good with subtle hand movements, right? Isn't that part of the job description?
Ah, finally a HEMA video where Brian is the superior warrior. Given that he's a magician it couldn't be more appropriate that it's throwing knives of all things.
Not quite halfway in but I remember being at a party years ago where we tried to do knife throwing into a fence. 1) don't do that, neighbours will hate you but 2) we actually worked out a very similar technique. Definitely was a weird and fun day, not something any of us really expected
Jason catching the knife reminded me of a fire juggler, who asked me to throw him a torch and when I screwed it up, he threw it back, saying "again please". I caught it and delivered a clean throw. It took him like 10 seconds to realize, he just trew a burning torch towards a 12 year old boy, expecting him to catch it. He went pale as snow apologizing profusely but it was all fine and I felt like a bada** for the rest of the day.
Summary of the video: Brian yells at Jason about safety for several minutes while wearing flip flops to a knife throwing video.
Ahahaha
"Do as I say not as I do"
honest question about the "no spin" throw.
would it be no longer throwing a knife if it was weighted?
a screw driver with a light handle and thick or long driver tend to be REALLY easy to throw.
it doesnt rotate. and essentially throws like a knife.
youd think ice picks would throw the same way but not really.
anyways. ive never needed to guide with my finger.
i just use stuff with a weighted tip.
or is the average screw driver being a throwing dart just too much info for the internet to have?
It is because these are just sissy boys who have no idea what they are doing. Everyone in this video looks like they live in their mom's basement.
@@MrSiestaFiesta lmao, it sounds like you live in your mom's basement!

Over all my favorite quote is from 11:49
"Oh god. How do they get us insurance?!"
the whole flier bit reminds me of Mitch Hedburg, "whenever someone hands you a flier it's like they're saying, 'here, you throw this away'"
I love how Jason was so proud of himself for catching the knife but immediately admitted it wad a terrible idea
Seeing a man put a chopstick into a solid piece of wood makes me wonder why I own knives

The hardest trick in knife throwing is throwing so perfectly that the knife bounces off the board and right back into your hand.
