Why can't you block with the bat? Who says you have to hold it the right way?

Hold it on the heavy side and then you have a 3 foot makeshift bo.

for the record, if i had a baseball bat holstered in my belt, and you had a knife hidden behind your back, and at 20 feet you bolted for me, you would win.
I went to the chippy last night and only orderd chips because I knew I could get fish from her bushy plate.

Assuming the person wielding the bat has ANY physical strength whatsoever, the guy with the knife is toast. I would consider myself to have average strength for an 18 year old. I can do 50 or so pushups, but considering that I'm also lighter than the average person(I'm only 145 lbs), I'm only about as strong as someone who is 180 or so and can do 20 pushups. I can get enough momentum with a bat with ONE ARM to make sure the guy with the knife is screaming before he even has a chance to hit me. There's no way in hell the knife guy can win this fight.

PJA and etc IDIOTS u obviously never held a knife in your hands

i can slice yr face 3 piece in 1 second
same second u swing yr bat at me
i would fake a move and just plain jump on you
U HAVE TO BE RETARDED NOT TO REALISE THAT U HAVE TO HIT ME WITH HEAVY PART OF THE BAT NOT BELOW THAT
u realise that yr chance is 10-15 inch of wood that HAS TO HIT A CRUCIAL SPOT ON MY BODY?
CAN U HIT INCOMING OBJECT WITH UNPREDICTABLE MOVEMENT AND SPEED? ARE U SO FUCKING SURE??? AND THIS OBJECT IS GONA TRY TO DODGE A BLOW? AND U MOST LIKELY GOT 1 SWING?
YES U CAN SURVIVE KNIFE WOUND BUT SINCE U ENGAGED IN CLOSE COMBAT U ARE DONE U CAN SURVIVE 5 BUT NOT 10 STABS KK?

No you can't.

What if bat-man doesn't swing first?

Can you do the same with a bat that's likely to be moving faster? Bat-man could also just run and keep his distance.

YES U CAN SURVIVE KNIFE WOUND BUT SINCE U ENGAGED IN CLOSE COMBAT U ARE DONE U CAN SURVIVE 5 BUT NOT 10 STABS KK?
god dumb kids


Who said it was close combat? Bat-man has the advantage of range, as long as he keeps his distance knife-dude can't do much and bat-man could start swinging for knife-dude's fingers or something.

Then the bat wielder is fighting defensively, and the knife man will eventually win as a result.

Bat-man could wait till knife-dude tries to make a move and crack him in the face and backup. Rinse and repeat.

Yet knife-dude will be perfectly fine be cause he is SO much more agile than bat-man and he will never get hit right?

The whole concealment arguement is bullshit anyways, and shows that you watch far too many movies. Most murders are unplanned and people dont walk around like fucking crack-squads of ninjas like some shitty knock off martial arts movie. Concealment matters, but in most cases, you are just going to grab the most dangerous thing you can get your hands on. If you grab a bat instead of a knife, you deserve to be darwin'ed



Concealment unimportant? ASDF WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SMOKING? I've got news: if a crimninal stands out as a criminal, he will get arrested, end of story. Any case where someone is intentionally killed is going to involve one or more criminal, so your whole "going to grab the most dangerous thing" argument goes right out the window. You're the one watching too many movies.

Do you even know why people buy THAT KNIFE? Switch knives and butterfly knives are choice weapons you would choose BECAUSE YOU PLAN ON CONCEILING IT. That's kind of the whole point of them.

If you are going merely for efficiency of the weapon, then rather than getting a butterfly knife, you should invest in one of these:

Or even
[image loading]

In order, those are a Bowie knife, a machete and a 13" dagger, all of which are better killing tools than a puny little butterfly knife.

And if self defense is your goal, then this is the type of knife you will carry...

In other words, a steak knife.


The reason you get a switch knife or butterfly knife is BECAUSE it's an easily concealable weapon.

u know what, we should make a big TL.net get together and have all the ppl who pick bat go up against all the ppl who pick knife. 1v1 of course. and of course to be fair make it so that they are up against ppl of similar size, weight, age etc etc scooby dooby doo.

seriously im in, id slash the next motherfucking douchebag who chooses bat right this instant.

that way all the idiots choosing bat would shut up, AND this thread will come to the correct conclusion, which is that knife > bat.

edit: ok ok let me make this more clearer

how does a bat work?
a bat is based on the principle of channeling brute power to break or fracture stuff.

how does a knife work?
a knife is used to cut and slice stuff up.

therefore, based on those principles, how would everything all work out.

well lets see. having played baseball for a bit, i have come to realize that after swinging a bat, i need at least 2 seconds to bring it back into a swinging position to deal out my next swing. if i somehow miss my target and my arms are in the "end of swing" position, my whole body is left defenceless to anything (this does not exclude knives).

if you ppl say "lol noob it takes me like 0.3 seconds to retreat bat to attack position again" then well, im guessing your bat is made of beech wood or is suffering seriously from a termite attack, and therefore, will weigh something like three turds of shit.

now since a bat, as we all agreed upon, is based in that the effectiveness of its attacks is based on breaking stuff by brute power, will not be breaking much if it is too light.

on the contrary if it is too heavy, we are back at homebase.


now... think of the knife.

just think. hold that thought in your head. savour it.

a knife has the advantage of being significantly lighter than the bat, thus giving the attacker agility, and the possibility of attacking at a faster rate (than a bat)

it also works on the principle of *cutting* and *slashing*, and by definition, it is to part stuff with ease. if you are cutting your food up, you are not rubbing a blunt piece of metal against your food until it all falls apart and bits of fibre is still clinging onto the original piece.

no... no no no

now lets go back to the battlefield.

one attacker deals damage on the basis of fracturing and breaking.
the other on cutting and slashing.

the individual with the bat has one good swing before the individual with the knife will begin to attack, maybe not even being able to get in an attack at all before suffering a knife attack.

but the individual with the knife, he controls the fight. he can rush in, fake, run out, attack multiple times and all because his weapon is much lighter.

even if the individual with the bat is able to block one, two, or maybe even three attack of the knife, how long will he be able to dodge and or block attacks coming at him so fast, and also blocking with something that moves so slowly, because yet again, we are at the dilemma of the bat being too heavy or too light.

so please, think very carefully before you pick up that bat and start swinging.
Yea that looks just like Kang Min... amazing game sense... and uses mind games well, but has the micro of a washed up progamer.

i would use the knife. the bat has more range but it is heavier causing you do be slower. if the guy using the bat swings and missed then he will be stabbed. he has to make sure that he does hit the guy. and even if he hits the guy he has to make sure he does some serios damage because the guy with a knife still may stab him, it would be hard for him to miss and if he hit the hit would be fatal..

Knife obviously. All you n00bs saying you'd break a bone with a bat - yeah right, lol. Train to lift that bat properly first. Then train to wield it with enough speed. Then train to be precise enough with it. Then die from 10 stab wounds
