Sharp Knife Versus Boa Constrictor 08 15 2025 (warning graphic content?) Subtitled Procula's Doll House

 So you have likely seen Facebook or Youtube videos where people make knives, perhaps even Damascus steel knives, and then sharpen them.

And then they show you how easily it slices a tomato, or piece of paper or perhaps they wail down on a plastic bottle and cleanly slice it in half without the bottle deforming.

But what I want to know is what happens if there is a boa constrictor around your torso or neck.  How sharp a knife do you have to have to cut it?

How well would those sharp knives in the videos do against a boa constrictor?

And you likely remember that old black and white jungle man television series about the boy raised in the wild.  And how he killed snakes and crocodiles and lions with his knife.

But was that realistic when he cut that boa constrictor?  Or was that like a second or third take and the constrictor was dead already?

How far do you have to cut through a boa constrictor before it is flat out dead?

You think this is odd?  Every once in a while you here of someone who has a pet snake that got loose.

It had to belong to a rich person?  Did it belong to an LGBTQ person I have to ask.

So when a boa constrictor constricts its muscles probably get very stiff and solid and hard.  Making hard to cut through.  Also those scales are likely hard to cut through.  Silica based armor?

If you cut a third of the way through a boa constrictor will it stop constricting because in effect it is pulling itself apart in doing so?

How hard is it to cut through the center of a boa constrictor?

Will the average knife do it?

You would likely have to place that blade facing the back edge of the scales and draw it under the scales to cut that boat constrictor off your neck faster?

How sharp a point does your knife have to have in order to pierce into a boa constrictor?

Do I give a willy if someone's knife can slice a piece of paper? 

I want to know if that knife can cut a boa constrictor off your neck.

Now I haven't researched any of this.  So perhaps somebody already made a video on it.

You know the United States Army was in the Viet Nam jungle and other places where their could be dangerous snakes?  I wonder if they ever even put out a manual on it?  What the heck are we paying you for?  So that you don't become depressed from dropping out of High School?  Are we paying you to manage a theater of war where Procula determines who is put in harms way?  We could call that Procula's Doll House.
