I like how this episode, Jason *catches a spinning knife out of the air* and doesn’t get injured. Colour me impressed!

Summary of the video: Brian yells at Jason about safety for several minutes while wearing flip flops to a knife throwing video.

I love Brian's safety rant after jaso successfully catches the knife, but is standing there in open footwear as the instructor stops blades with his feet

This brought me back to a culinary arts course I took back in college. Chef gave the best advice on knife safety: "If you drop a knife, don't try to catch it because you might."

Fencing masks are pretty tough... they are made to withstand A LOT OF force. A broken blade can kill you and the mask is there to prevent that. A FIE approved fencing mask can take up to 1600N, so it's pretty impressive that they can puncture it with a knife throw.

*Brian: "Hey guys, we're learning to throw knives today. Have you seen my flip flops?"

It's a miracle the injury counter didn't feature in this episode. And Murphy for the cat like ninja reflexes

"Today we are learning how to invalidate insurance"

Brian: "So what kind of episode are we doing today?" Employee: "A knife throwing episode." Brian: "These flip flops will go great with this episode."

I loved doing this growing up. Started with screwdrivers, went up to hangers, and eventually did nails and needles. Always loved one upping some guy throwing knives. And yes, it ended up being a great real world skill years later... (facepalm) cleaning up the back room of an apparel store when someone broke a ton of hangers. It was literally faster to throw all the broken hangers than to carry them to the trash bin. The boss came in saw me and the roomie throwing them, and offered to 'catch' them to help. We both kind of looked at one another, turned back to him and said definitively "no." He didn't understand why... so I buried a hanger a foot and a half deep in a pile of cardboard and asked him to leave. LOVE throwing spikes and needles.

I liked the sparks that happens when he went though the face mask.

calling it now, when brian accidentally chops his toe off, he will try to wear it as a trophy.

Damn, Brian's pivot from impressed to angry to bemused over the course of about two seconds was something else

Over all my favorite quote is from 11:49 "Oh god. How do they get us insurance?!"

I see the words "knife" and "The Modern Rogue" and just get scared.

Seeing a man put a chopstick into a solid piece of wood makes me wonder why I own knives

Nice to see you tried No-Spin throwing guys !!! :)

the whole flier bit reminds me of Mitch Hedburg, "whenever someone hands you a flier it's like they're saying, 'here, you throw this away'"

I love how Jason was so proud of himself for catching the knife but immediately admitted it wad a terrible idea

When I learned, the only thing I needed to be told was “finger on the spine, throw it like a baseball.”

Brian. Stop wearing flip flops. You’re an adult who does crazy shit all the time, get some Iron Rangers or something. 😂

Brian: SaFtY vIoLaTiOn Also Brain: *wears flip flop*

Mr: releases knife throwing episode Me: prepare the injury counter Brian and Jason: *are fine throughout* Everyone: *likes and subs* ya deserved it fellas

As soon as I realised how much Zach throwing the construction nails reminded me of Bullseye, Jason brings up Daredevil and I’m really happy to see some cool nerd representation on screen.

honestly this seem like how you'd actually throw a knife in a battle, because you don't need to measure the distance as exactly.

brain is just jealous of that knife catch because Jason is a weapons master.... .. . sorta.

As much as I love watching you guys just doing stuff seeing the knife hacky sack trick at the very beginning just had me on edge the whole time. Also everytime you guys cocked back that knife I was like "please don't get face meat on your tips.". Jason Murphy? No, more like Jason Borne! Lmao

The hardest trick in knife throwing is throwing so perfectly that the knife bounces off the board and right back into your hand.

11:23 I’ve never seen such a terrible idea executed so well

after looking at the footage again and again... murphy is throwing scaredly because brian is in the way... brian has the advantage of not having nothing on the left where he is putting he balance after the throw... so he can give it a little more umph ... but murphy has the hand of brian at the beggining... and then he cant balance himself after the throw because brian is still there so he dont know if the hand of brian will return or do what. so he is throwing with less force and half the swing...

“there is face meat on this blade” I will never get tired of this channel, god you guys are awesome

My favorite thing about this video is the schedule sign in the back: 3pm - Mixed Weapons 7pm - Ballet Talk about a multipurpose space.

I did this with my dad in the garage a few times. At first i tried throwing knives with the spins and flips, and while looking cool, nothing beat getting a solid step forward and letting the knife carry itself deep into the target. Nothing more satisfying then having trouble pulling the knife out after a nice solid 'thunk' Besides, most of the times i tried doing the flips and spins they bounced off or missed. While the no spin is really really great at low ranges. Very consistent. I'd say more consistent then the spins. Way less math, way more power, way more fun.

Jason: * successfully catches a *spinning* knife out of the air without getting hurt * Brian, wearing flip-flops: "Stop being so unsafe!"

Wow, I never thought I would see a skitzo shirt in a MR video. Hands down my favorite pilot!

As a amateur knife thrower (100 hrs or so) which does no spin, I totally relate to him Hackie-Sacking the knife. I'm so use to having it ricochet pass me that it doesnt even faze me. Only the tip is sharp, but it is REALLY sharp!

Knife hacky sack sounds like a great idea

Hey, will y’all ever do a video on balisong flipping? It’s cool enough for rogues and dangerous enough too.

16:35 "Go full Mystery Men" I was enjoying the video already, but this made it so much better and no one there noticed it. :D

I recently took up no spin knife throwing and it took me like 3 days before I could get one to stick somewhat consistently. Going off of just KZfaq tutorials and a dead tree, and those exact knives they start with. They're like 20 bucks on Amazon for the 3, great for starting. I think the main thing that gave me grief was my hand wanted to tilt so my finger wouldn't follow the spine of the knife as it came out of my hand, so it would come out and like twirl diagonally.

I love the reference to the Blue Raja I want an episode of silverware throwing

Brian! At 11:18 you threw the knife with your finger tips! I love throwing knifes and you guys are obviously having too much fun! Love the videos!

the way brian yelled at Jason was like a father yelling at his kid for doing something dumb

LMAO Getting strong Michael Scott vibes from Jason when he catches that knife. "Erin, scissor me please!"

Wooooooow I've listened to this video 3 times today being distracted with chores and never looked up. This 4th time I look up and see the same knives I bought off Amazon 2 years ago being thrown during the 1st half on the video. SCZO throwers - 9" 8oz and I love them. Few know that the design is based on a knife first available to during the Vietnam era by a knife maker who's name escaped me but the design is battle tested.

Can we appreciate this line? "Do not catch flying knives. That's against company policy!"

The thumbnail is a work of art and made me so excited to watch jason catch a falling knife

"Brian's performance did not stop at production. He dedicated his body, his essence, his hair to the craft of entertainment by sculpting his visage into the wonder you see above"

“There is face meat on the blade.” What is this? Llamas with Hats?

Thumbs up to instructor for having the patience to teach juveniles.

the magician to knife-thrower pipeline isn't talked about enough

Been waiting for something like this!

"I found my gift!" says the magician with a successful youtube channel and a show in Discovery.

5:30 - "But we want to keep the pointy edge...." me: "In the other man."

On the chopsticks into wood, I have actually in past been in the bush and chopped sticks with an angles tip, after which I spent an afternoon throwing them into trees.

What made the knife catching better is: 1. It worked when it never should have. 2. Brian had a completely normal reaction. 3. Jason ABSOLUTELY knew it was a bad idea as it was happening. 4. I was eventually able to breathe again through the laughter. I do get it, the instinct is to catch it, but channel that into jumping backwards away from the injury counter fan (the knife).

For some reason the more I watch modern rogue the more I would love to see them play DnD

Jason: let's go test a knife throwing skill Brian: I'll grab my flip flops

The screwdriver throw made me think 'Oh shit Hitman is possible'

*Someone at MR's insurance providers sees title of video and calls over entire office* *All watches video.* *Jason catches knife.* *Entire office simultaneous facepalm.*

I love how Brian looks like he is gonna cast a harry potter spell

Zachary got that Skitzo FPV shirt!!! LOVE IT

Brian is always so afraid, like dude would start jumping back as he was throwing and wondered why it was rotating so much

Great job at demo of how to throw No-Spin knives. Lot of feel and time to get to that skill level Zach.

Just noticed but 11:18 I think Brian has some noble british blood with that posh pincing on the knife.

Most frustrating hobby I have! But......THROWING KNIFE FUN!!!

This reminds of the kinds of things I'd do during the boring down times while helping my dad around the house. I'd take screwdrivers or files and try to throw them so they stick in the ground. Got decently well at it, it usually would only take me one or two tries per item to stick them.

Super pumped for the Secret Thing!

violation of every safety rule is what makes modern rogue better than mythbusters

I didn't have any knives so I used a 10 lb dumbbell. First try, no spin and it went deep in the wall - I'm a natural!

Wow, Jason got this first. How many times has that happened?

Brian did some jazz hands and hands up when excited.

There's only a handful of different things you can do that truly embody the spirit of "remind me not to fuck with this guy." This entire video is a library of it.

Good explanation Zach. I prefer to call it Anti spin. 🔪🤘🏻

Ayyy i discovered No-spin knife throwing several years ago and have gotten pretty good. So cool to see it on the channel!

wow Zach rocking the skitzo shirt like a boss.

Not quite halfway in but I remember being at a party years ago where we tried to do knife throwing into a fence. 1) don't do that, neighbours will hate you but 2) we actually worked out a very similar technique. Definitely was a weird and fun day, not something any of us really expected

"No math", "Oops I miscalculated"

Bro Anthony is just loving life and i here for it

Brian holds the knife the way Voldemort holds his wand

Fun fact: longest nospin i know is about 24 m by Adam Čeladín Fun fact number 2: Adam could also throw 6 knives in 1 second

Ah, finally a HEMA video where Brian is the superior warrior. Given that he's a magician it couldn't be more appropriate that it's throwing knives of all things.

Brian well knowing they'll be dealing with sharp objects during the shoot Wears sandals

lmao i just left a comment on the old knife throwing video that no spinning is the technique i learned from eastern martial arts meant for actual combat XD

Brian: " how do they give us insurance" I have wonderer the exact same on a lot of your videos

I laughed so hard when Jason caught that knife and then got in trouble by the guy IN SANDALS! Fun video, y'all.

Brian - "You *CAUGHT* that knife..." Jason - "Yeah, that was a terrible idea." Anthony - "They're not *THAT* sharp..." It did look sick as hell, tbf.

Jason catching the knife reminded me of a fire juggler, who asked me to throw him a torch and when I screwed it up, he threw it back, saying "again please". I caught it and delivered a clean throw. It took him like 10 seconds to realize, he just trew a burning torch towards a 12 year old boy, expecting him to catch it. He went pale as snow apologizing profusely but it was all fine and I felt like a bada** for the rest of the day.

11:23 that was both an absolutely horrendous idea and a badass one

Honestly your tutorials are the only ones I trust

just want to say whoever made discospank.org, good job.

Oh my god they are evolving.... Jason caught a knife and DIDN'T reset the injury counter! WHAT MADNESS IS THIS???? HE MUST BE A CHANGLING!!!!

Seeing those construction nails, so a little back story, I used to work on a golf course doing grounds keeping, and there was a random turf spike in our work cart, and the guy I was working with, was walking down the hill, he's like 200 feet away, I grab the turf spike and throw it like a throwing knife, and yelled "NAILED IT" thinking this thing would land next to him. It didn't. It did how ever go point first into the back of his head. I said about 1000 apologies and felt like poop about it, but, it's kind of funny now

Jason is my hero everything he does i love no matter the video or day

Brian is completely safe in flip flops because he just never gets injured no matter how terrible the idea. Jason is wearing steel toes because he's learned.

Safety flip-flops - Warrior level.

Wearing flip flops while throwing knives and Brian wants to yell about safety....think he'll wear proper shoes once he loses a toe? lol

Brian wearing inappropriate shoes for sharp objects is a meme at this point.

I like how Brian holds the knife with he's pinky up

Thanks, now my DIO cosplay will be complete.
