A knife has to hit exactly right to convey most of it's energy. Even slightly off puts energy into rotation so the handle smacks into you. This would certainly be painful, but not crippling, and it is unlikely to penetrate even thick clothing. Hitting precisely point-first is practically impossible in any dynamic environment - you are moving, they are moving, it is chaotic situation in which you are hoping for wild lottery-winning luck, or get yourself killed. | |
