Maybe if the impact would be in the thicker part of the blade, no damage ( or much less ) would have occurred..

To each his own, but I think its a shame. I destroy enough stuff accidentally without looking for nice things to wreck. BTW, welcome to the yard, scrappy doo. Way to come in with a bang. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

SOG sponsored the World Sniping Championships held in Hungary a month or so ago and one stage had a 25 yard shot with some of their throwing knives anchored in blocks....you were to aim at the edge and try to split the bullet with hay bales and targets either side. With jacketed FMJ's or SMK's or VLD rifle bullets I thought this test was stupid....very much a case of uncontrolled richocets....Annie Oakley did this type of thing with soft core lead bullets in large calibre carbines or pistols....even then I see no merit in this...shoot a matchstick and it is as good a test of your aim.
Shooting the side of the blade is plain simple dangerous...the richochet can come straight back at you....I even think there is a U tube post about a guy testing a .50 cal against armour....had a 709 grain bullet come back and just missed his ear....when the SAS worked with Prof Hatton to design a door breaching shotgun round ( the Hatton Round )to blow the hinges off doors and then disperse harmlessley (plastic slug turns to powder on impact) ....this was because of the high risk of richocet trouble firing 9mm ball or HP ammo at locks/hinges/metal surfaces....a good way to blow your balls off with the richocet coming back at groin level....personally I would give this type of thing a miss. You could end up doing a lot more damage than you expect......

Scrappy, slightly cool and very nuts! Glad no one got hurt other than that pure abused dog.. Still it was an interesting way to say hi to the Yard! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I'm gonna go a different route and say <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />, you took one for the team! As I just bought the same knife as a gift for my bud (from Hunters thread), I am even more impressed with that mutt. That being said, I have to say as a professional social worker, if you make a move to duplicate it with the RMD or SS4, I'll have to call knife prtective services! they will of course be given a wonderful new home- with me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. Ha ha! welcome and I look forward to more posts!!!

Interesting pics, though I would never shoot one of my knives - not even a cheap one! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

LOL I think it's a fine idea as long as you don't mind riking your saftey a little. And actually, a guy from the swamp shot his with a 30-30 (well, thats what andy said so, I'll stick with that) TWICE and they replaced it. (I guess it broke after the second shot. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />) I say it was a good idea... I always wondered how a SY would take it. and it's even better to know since alot of troops wear these knives!

They arent bullet proof or people proof. You proved a couple of things there.
