Does bone make good weapons?

Are bone weapons durable?

Bones are strong in compression but weak in tension. Bones are not generally stronger than metals so they have limited uses as weapons and hunting implements, though they can be fashioned to make serviceable fish hooks. Bones don’t hold a good edge and break pretty easily so if you can’t get metal, stone works better.

Why do we measure the strength of bones?

It’s because bones are also light and flexible, and the physics behind the speed and angle of blows make mincemeat of strength measures. That’s why a karate expert can break brick with his hand, but might also break a finger after slipping on ice. Chest compressions performed too fast on someone in cardiac arrest can break a rib.
