Can a knife block a sword? ›

The Double Knife Defense (also known as the Double Knife Sword Defense) is mentioned in The Burning Bridge as a way for a person dual-wielding knives/daggers to block a sword-stroke.

Swords, being made of steel for the most part, would certainly be expected to deflect most lower-power bullet strikes. Bigger, heavier blades more so. However, high-velocity bullets, like military “ball” or armor-piercing ammunition, can penetrate quite a lot of cold-rolled steel plate.

The frontal lobes are large enough to prevent penetrating objects to reach deep vital structures and hence stab wounds to this area may often be without neurological deficits.

Absolutely. All sharp enough swords, if long enough and used by a good swordsman, can chop through bone. Even an obsidian-bladed wooden sword can take off a head thanks to the weight of the weapon, the leverage of the swing, and the sharpness of the stone.

Intraosseous stab wound injuries are rare because of the considerable force needed to impale a sharp object through bone tissue [4]. There is a significant disparity in the forces that could be applied within, and between persons [5]. Hence, it is challenging to evaluate bone wounds sustained by victims systematically.

Depending on the steel and how it's heat-treated, it can be softer than copper or harder than stone. A good sword can indeed dig into low-carbon steel just fine, albeit quickly dulling the edge, but into another hardened steel sword blade? No way.

Self-Defense Tool

Having a blade on hand could provide a crucial advantage in a physical altercation. With proper training on weapon retention and use, a knife can enable someone to better defend themselves in an assault situation. This may allow them to escape unharmed.

In the German school of swordsmanship, Mordhau, alternatively Mordstreich or Mordschlag (in German literally "murder-stroke" or "murder-strike" or "murder-blow"), is a half-sword technique of holding the sword inverted, with both hands gripping the blade, and hitting the opponent with the pommel or crossguard.

If you have longer or shorter arms, that will change the length for you. So a blade longer than 12ish inches, depending on the particular user, is a sword.
