Razor Wire vs Barbed Wire (The Most Detailed Comparison)

Razor wire is made up of high tensile core wire and a punched steel tape with sharp barbs at close intervals uniformly. The razor tape is cold crimped tightly onto the spring steel core, and finally into rolls for easy transport and deployment. And there are many styles of coils and blades that can be used in different environments. The wire is exceedingly hard to cut utilizing hand devices. While the barbs have a penetrating and grasping activity, reinforced steel makes it difficult to twist.

Barbed wire is fencing wire with pointed barbs at regular intervals along the central wire. It uses a fully automatic barbed wire machine to wrap the barb wire around the main line, which looks like a rope. And barbed wire has three kinds of commonly used twisting methods. Its sharp edge can frighten intruders and thieves, and it is available to combine with other fences for security barriers.

Undoubtedly, razor wire is much more defensive than barbed wire. Closely connected coils, not enough space for people to pass through. Sharp edges and blades can easily cut through people’s clothes or skin. It’s impossible to cross the barrier of razor wire without enough tools. Compared with barbed wire, razor wire is more dangerous. It’s better suited to fences or barriers that prevent people from passing through. For example, it can be used in residential walls, factory fences, military barriers, border walls and so on. Don’t use it to protect your livestock, it will hurt them easily.

Barbed wire is often used to build inexpensive fences. Although its protective performance and deterrent power are not as good as razor wire, its manufacturing cost is very low due to its simple manufacturing process and no waste of raw materials. It is a more economical protective fence than razor wire. It’s not as dangerous as razor wire, but don’t ignore its sharp barb wire. Don’t try to cross it unless you want to get hurt. Barbed wire is often used for grassland boundaries, garden protection, livestock protection and so on. Barbed wire is the first fencing technique that can restrain cattle.

Razor wire is commonly used individually as a fence or wall topping for the site and border security. There are several ways of the razor wire installation.
1. It can be installed onto the existing fence systems – fixed to the top or bottom of the fence with tie wire or barb arms. Such as welded mesh fence, chain link fence, palisade, and ornamental fencing.
2. Installed on top of the brick/concrete wall – barb arm with flange fasten the razor wire on the brick or concrete wall.
3. To meet the needs of some applications, it can also be installed on the ground along the perimeter. Spread it out directly on the ground to form barrier and separation line.
4. Wed onto frames or attach onto posts as security fencing. Such as welded wire mesh fence.
According to the different operating environment, specially designed brackets should be used to support the razor wire fence

The barbed wire can be used in many places and ways.
Used independently as a fence, barbed wires need to be fixed to fence posts with nails and tie wires. This creates a barbed wire fence. And it can also be fixed to the top of other fences through barb arm and tie wire, like chain link fence, welded wire mesh fencing, diamond mesh fence and so on. After putting the barbed wire on it, the security will be much higher.

Barbed wire fencing is very easy to installation and the speed of installation is very fast. Indeed, even a worker of medium skill can without much of a stretch install such a fencing system. It’s important to note that no matter where you install it, you must tighten and straighten the barbed wire.

Barbed wire has fewer raw materials than other fencing products, and its fabrication process is simple. So the cost of barbed wire fence is relatively economical. If you want to surround a large site and don’t require too much security, I have to say it is a great idea to use the barbed wire fencing. It will save you a lot of money.

Razor wire is slightly more expensive than barbed wire because of its complex manufacturing process and the waste of raw materials in the manufacturing process. But the wire material and blade material cost less than other kinds of fences if covering same length area. And when you need a big quantity of high-security products, and maybe you have a limited budget for your project, then the razor wire fence is a quite good choice for you.

Maintenance of both products is simple as the fencing doesn’t wear out easily if installed properly. And the use of high-quality materials and surface treatment methods can be used for a long time without being corroded. So these two products hardly need to be maintained, just pay attention to repairing areas that may be artificially damaged.

In the Rambo movies, 1,2,3 Stallone uses the knife to do many things, in Rambo 2&3 he cuts barbed wire, can this be done, can a knife actually cut through this type of wire without using a sheath aided device, also in #3 he throws that massive knife at some bad guy and it sticks into a piece of wood, would it be possible to be able to throw such a knife and stick 9 out of 10 times without massive luck required?

Hunting? Don't be a wise guy, what do you hunt with a knife?

Name it! The best way to "cut" barbed wire with a knife is to use the (unsharpened) spine to fold the wire over abruptly, forming a point where you can bend it back and forth and induce metal fatigue.

Other than minor scratches, this won't hurt the knife. It'll work OK, if you're patient .

I've leave the thrower question to one more competent. Except...the Rambo knives were grip-heavy, the worst type to try and throw. It IS possible to build a "thrower Bowie" but you need to keep the grip weight way down. Harald Moeller's "Canadian Outdoorsman" is possibly the best-executed Bowie thrower ever.

Jim An oxy-acetylene torch cuts barbed wire really neatly. I hear that the next generation of multi-tools will all include one of these, along with hot and cold running water, and of course a satellite dish.

Take a look at any of Samuel White Baker's books on hunting; his weapon of choice for boar and stag was a knife (there are lengthy excerpts in my article about London Hunting Knives in KNIVES 98). And I know guys today who still hunt wild boar with dogs and a big knife, the same way that Baker did. I don't know anybody who still hunts Sambar elk this way, though...

http://pweb.netcom.com/~brlevine/links.htm The best way to cut barbed wire with a knife is to have the AK-47 bayonet and "holster" - thus being able to cut through it like it wasn't there....

Apart from that - Jim's method is the best - but it takes a long time - something you usually don't have under fire..

With all my humbleness - I’ll second everything Mr. Levine said about knife hunting - I'll just add that ax and knife throwing were (and probably are still being used) for hunting - mainly in very primitive tribes. Some of the Indians in south America use this method - but they can also shoot down a bird the size of a dollar bill down from a tree 60 yards high with a blow gun, so go figure...

Another way to hunt with a knife requires a poll to which the knife is fixed - thus allowing to use it as a spear and hunt fish along shallow places in the river, small game etc.

Takes practice but CAN be done.

[This message has been edited by Blilious (edited 04-12-).] Well I've spent a lot of time building fences, and barb wire is tough stuff. It is hardened enough that you could fold it over and over on the spine of a knife till it breaks. But properly hung barb wire is under alot of tension which would make it a little difficult to bend it far enough. Not to mention it has a great memory to it and flys back into a coil as soon as its cut so I wouldn't want to be holding the ends in my bare hands when it finally gives. I mean the stuff really flips hard and if it didn't rip up your hands you'd be lucky not to get smacked in the face with it. But hey this is the movies were talking about.
As for the throwing, I'll go along with everyone else in saying that it depends on the balance of the knife. It would be pretty cool to have a big knife thats usuable for normal cutting and heavy work, and still balanced that well. But if you look at most knives that are designed for throwing, their geometry usually isn't that good for anything else. But practice will make anything easier to do, so I guess you could throw a rambo knife if you wanted too.

I once saw Forrest shake John F. Kennedy's hand in a movie.

All of those tasks are really not that difficult in a well made quailty knife.
The LILE Rambo's weakest link is how the Handles are epoxyied onto the hilt and tang.
For me not really very reassuring for a Survival Knife.
In extreme cold would definetly be problamatic to say the least.

Look at Crain knives, Brends or others for a better choice.
IMHO
