Would you choose a knife or a baseball bat in a fight and why?

[Kaladin]

1. You are forced to fight another person.
2. All other factors are equal (height, weight, arm length, skill, etc.)
3. You can choose to fight the other person with a knife or a bat.
4. Your opponent gets the other weapon.

I could absolutely wreck someone with a baseball bat before they ever got close enough to cut me.

Baseball bat, hand me a 32''

Anyone not choosing a knife is silly

I started baseball bat and switched knife. If I can dodge one swing and close the gap the bat is worthless. A knife is throwable and still stabby if it turns grappley.

You think you’re gonna dodge the swing of a 33” bat directly at your midsection? Even if I knick you with that it’s gonna hurt enough that I can swing again for a direct hit.

Also, you throw your knife at me then I’m gonna bunt that shit for a base hit and then beat you to death.

Good Christmas thread @Kaladin

It is not appropriate to encourage or advocate for violence or physical confrontations. It is important to try to de-escalate conflicts and find peaceful resolutions whenever possible. If you are in a situation where you feel threatened or are being confronted, it is important to try to remove yourself from the situation and seek help from authorities or other trusted individuals. It is not advisable to rely on weapons, whether they are knives or bats, to resolve conflicts. It is important to remember that the use of weapons can lead to serious injury or death, and it is never appropriate to use violence as a means of resolving a disagreement.

I'd rather get beat with a bat a bunch than stabbed with a knife a bunch. Plus, if the bat swinger doesn't connect, it's stabbing time.

It's easier to land a disabling blow with a bat than a knife. If you bash the other guys head in before you bleed out, do you win?

Because you don't swing with it. You stab with the bat.
