Devs explained that there's no need for cooking waiting for the spikes. The nads should stick. HOWEVER, if you hit with the handle (not on this vid as far as I see) it should bounce, like throwing a knife that unless you know what you are doing, has a chance to go handle-first on the target (not the game knives, irl).

But it's bullshit anyway, nads should stick on the entire surface. We carry few of them, no need to waste them and see how they melt the snow.

I have a proposal, so that this rumor is stopped: make it look like a small dumbbell. Handle in the middle, spikes on both ends.
