Hence the joke, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, knife goes in THEN up :P

And if there's also thick muscle or fat on top, you gotta get through that, too. Plus, the heart is usually offset to the left of the sternum, but it *is* protected by the sternum, so stabbing someone right in the heart is more difficult.

If you wanna really stab someone's organs through the ribs you have to either have something thin and sharp enough to get between the rib bones and pierce through the cartilage, or you have to have a lot of force to get that cartilage pushed apart.

depends on the body! also kind of how the blade hits. Thinner blades are better for getting in between the ribs, the ribs are held together by cartilage as well so if you have something thicker not at the right angle it could be like half a centimeter or it could be like an inch.

Yes. Which is why a lot of assassin stuff is like “slipping a blade in between the ribs”

sending you potato of luck! 🥔
