Since the dawn of time, civilization has dreamt-up more and more creative ways of killing each other. We started by throwing stones at each other, and moved onto bigger and better things, such as swords, javelins, and the greatest death dealer of all, the nuclear bomb. One of these implements of death has remained relatively unchanged over the centuries, though, and that’s the knife. It has come in different shapes and sizes over the years, but its role has remained the same – slicing an
d stabbing. Recently though, a company decided that stabbing a person just wasn’t enough. They decided that the victim was never dead enough from said stabbing, and thus the WASP Injector Knife was born.
Created by WASP Injection Systens, the WASP Injector Knife (or WASPIK) features all the qualities of a regular knife (such as a handle and stabby part), but with the added benefits of a compressed gas cartridge stored securely in the hilt. You’re probably asking yourself “why would a person want to store gas in their knife, isn’t that silly?”. Well, it is, but for different reasons than you may think. You see, the special thing about this knife is that the moment you stab something with it, the contents of the gas cartridge are expelled through a tiny opening, creating a basket-ball sized cavity to form in whatever thing you’ve just stabbed. The company’s rationale behind this odd “improvement” is that, if used underwater, the rapid expansion of gas causes the target to float to the surface faster than blood can pour out of them into the surrounding water. I’m sure that could be useful in certain scenarios, but really… a knife… that shoots gas? Really? Really?
Despite how creative this knife is, I feel it’s rather overkill. I appreciate fine knives as much as the next guy, but not ones that shoot out ice-cold blasts of gas at 800psi. What happens if I’m trying to open a parcel and accidentally blast gas into the packaging? Kapow! That’s what.
Here’s a video of the WASP Injector Knife blowing up a watermelon!
If you’re here to see the wasp injection knife vs shark, unfortunately I haven’t actually been able to find a video with that footage. If you happen to have a link, drop me a comment below with the details.
Dude you’re a tool. You preach against this weapon as if its a master killing machine, comparing it to the atomic bomb? Do your research before you open your mouth. This knife was created for divers that were at risk of shark attack. The principle behind its design is that upon stabbing a shark the compressed air would be released creating a wound cavity full of air that would force the predatory shark to the surface of the water without blood being shed into the water. The reason it is important for blood to not be shed is, because if it was, MORE predators would be drawn to that area putting the diver at further risk. It has also been found that this knife is very effective against other predatory animals both in and out of the water. Take your liberal agenda elsewhere, it has no place in regards to this weapon. Keep these things in mind, a person can be beaten to death with a toilet seat…that doesn’t mean that all toilet seats are deadly weapons that should be outlawed. More people are killed every year by drunk drivers than firearms and knives, but you aren’t trying to get cars banned, are you?
And by the way, the “stabby part”, as you so aptly worded it, is called a blade. And try spell check , please. I quote “the rapid expansion of gas causes the target to float to the server faster than blood can pour out of them into the surrounding water”. I really hope you meant to say SURFACE instead of SERVER, it would be really odd for a target in the ocean to float towards a computer that supplies information to other computers.
Thanks for the heads up. I’ve gone and changed to the correct word usage, as clearly I missed that the first time around. I’m also glad that you explained what a blade is; I’ve been wondering that for years! As you probably realized, my post was in no way meant to be joking in nature, and every word was supposed to convey my leftist agenda. I’ll be sure to take that elsewhere, as clearly my blog isn’t the place for it. Diliseireannach, I’m sorry from the bottom of my liberal heart. It won’t happen again, I swear.
This is an awesome weapon. The both of you make really good points, but as a diver, having one of this by my side will add an extra layer of comfort. Nice comeback chad. Loving the sarcasm.
DeepBlueSea: If you ever get a chance to use this knife, let me know what you think. I would love to hear a first hand experience from someone whose had a chance to give it a try.
