Ever wanted a knife that could drop some of the largest predators on both land and sea with one poke? The Wasp Injector knife may be the ticket. The secret of its lethality is all in the tipa small tube that shoots compressed air from a cartridge located in the compartment in the handle.
According to the literature: "This weapon injects a freezing cold ball of compressed gas, approximately the size of a basketball, at 800psi nearly instantly. The effects of this injection will drop many of the world's largest land predators. The effects of the compressed gas not only cause over-inflation during ascent when used underwater, but also freezes all tissues and organs surrounding the point of injection on land or at sea. When used underwater, the injected gas carries the predator to the surface BEFORE blood is released into the water. Thus giving the diver added protection by diverting other potential predators to the surface."
Naturally, the knife isn't cheap. Still, it comes in well under many fixed blades at a paltry $380. Also, naturally, there are some urban dwellers who are alarmed by its design and want it banned. (Police departments already are being warned of its existence. The ban-all-weapons groups are sure to set their sights on this baby.) Still, the knife would be comforting when walking (or diving) in places where a human being would make a good appetizer. And the downside? Like any knife the difficult part is getting the blade into the predator. Still, it beats running!
Anyone heard of this? The blade steel is a low carbon stainless capable of being carried and used in salt water. It is pretty impressive for the price, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it outlawed in federal parks.
