WASP Injector Knife

[ringzero]

The knife that offers a little something extra - the Wasp Injector Knife: http://www.waspknife.com/index.php

I've seen CO2 injection systems built into spears and prods, but never a knife.  A knife doesn't allow for any standoff from the shark - or whatever it's used against - requiring the user to get really up close and personal with the target.

Guess it could be a good backup weapon to carry in the event that that the main spear or bang stick failed or was lost.

I think if a shark gets close enough to use it, you would already be missing one of your arm, probably the one holding that knife. 

Still very cool thou.

[Sea Monster]

Maybe if you weren't trying to stab it, the shark wouldn't be trying to eat you?

There was a piece about this in nearly every single paper over in the UK last week, doom mongering that they were likely to be loose on our streets soon and gangs were going to be using them for even more deadly stabbings....  It just struck me how ridiculous it was, if someone is going to stab a human then they're going to be in trouble anyway, an 'exploding tip' may make a massive amount of difference with large animals like sharks or bears but who the hell is going to go through the effort of using a £200 knife when a regular one will do....

example from the Daily 'omg we're all going to die and its a minority's fault' Mail

You know, if so many people didn't take the rag seriously, I'd find the Daily mail funny.

Apart from anything else it's inconsistent. wasn't it the Daily Mail that claimed you could buy a gun for £50 last year. If that's true, then I can't see many gangs shelling out £200 for a knife, when they could have 4 handguns.

Yikes! According to this video its quite a threat to watermelons too!

Use of handgun is against ninja code.

Yes, but not against the Mall Ninja code.  I could see them, billions of them, flocking to their website after they had saved up enough money from their shift at Walmart.

How long will it take before the press dredges up the (in)famous Spetsnaz ballistic knife?

[Sea Monster]

As far as I can recall, no weapons, (ballistic, bladed, oriental or makeshift) have been used in any of the latest half dozen of brutal beatings & rapes around my town.

I don't want one, but that knife has always facinated me

This made me laugh

I half thought it was a joke when i first read it, but theyre actually serious  Madness, if these people had their way we would be trying to cut into our steak or carving our chicken with a perfectly rounded (not too heavy mind) soft gelatinous ball, in case we suddenly decided "actually, you know what, i dont fancy diner, i think i'll go murder someone instead"...

I used to be amazed that highly educated people (such as the Medical Doctors in the article you link to) so often seem to suffer from a complete lack of common sense.

But after seeing examples of this phenomenon for most of my life, I'm no longer amazed.  In fact, I've come to accept that higher education often has deleterious effects on many of the people exposed to it.

So they are are protesting against "long, pointed knives" and show a picture of an injury that could have been caused by LM Micra or Vic Classic

In case the authorities are watching - I say this as a purely hypothetical situation, (never can be too careful  )


If I was to go a-stabbing, a big ol' kitchen knife would not be my first choice.

For a start - it's a big ol' kitchen knife. Here's a project kids - go and stick a kitchen knife into your belt or pocket.

Those of you who still have your reproductive organs congratulations.

Secondly, (and this could just be limited to my kitchen knives) the pointier ones are actually a bit thin, and I reckon I could do myself a woe if I tried to stab rather than slice into a chap.

I think my ideal, around the home stabbing knife would be from my fishing box - smaller, sturdier, and with a good coating of filth so if they don't bleed out, they could at least get a nasty infection.

Well thought out Nomad. (although the fact that you think these things through worries me sometimes.....)

My favorite (non-crowbar) home defense item is a...



knife sharpening steel.

Knives can be inadvertently lethal, have relatively little stopping power and leave a bad taste in the judge's mouth. With a steel rod, you can deflect blows, break bones, and look like an upstanding citizen when you call 911 for your burglar.

Good point it's a shame that we have to think of the almost inevitable court action should we injure some thieving chemically dependant s.o.b who breaks into our home

SOG/SF units are now using these knives on ops.

[nuphoria]

This bullcr*p makes me very ranty indeed.

Stupid papers, scaremongering and ill-informing the public. The misquoted stats along with the "they'll kill us all" attitude does nothing to quell an adolescents desire to carry a knife. I had one (or several in truth) as a kid and I don't think there's anything wrong with it - the issue lies with educating the proper use and respect of them, same as alcohol really. If we continue to bathe knives in forbidden mystique, out kids will want tone even more and know nothing about being smart with them.
