I was browsing the interwebs and saw this very "cool" looking knife called the Microtech Jagdkommando.
Thought I would throw it up here and see what y'all think..

Yeah...that bit of ninja sillyness has been floating around FB lately. Apparently, according to the interwebs, just owning that knife will make you a high speed death merchant.

Wu-shaaa!
 
By the way, it pops up here every couple of months and gets made fun of. Then a couple weeks later the "shark exploder" thing shows up.
 
I would feel safe in saying that Many folks on here (myself included) wouldn't carry a knife that isn't as user friendly, singular in purpose as this, not to forget likey illegal.

It is designed to create a wound that would be near impossible to close efficiently without having some long term effect(s) on the person that was poked.

Can you use this to open a box efficiently?
Can it be used to (easily) cut a steak at a restaurant, or just put a hole in your baked potato?

I can see a novelty in it, but I wouldn't spend my money on it. While some may think they can justify the purchase, one would do better to fend off an attacker with a baseball bat (keep a mit and a ball in your trunk and you can justify the bat in your trunk).

Just my utilitarian (and law abiding) side speaking my 2 cents.
I am interested in others views on the matter though.
 
Over priced microtech, made with 440a, a one trick pony (stabbing), completely impractical for any other actual knife stuffs... And one can trust, while a stab wound made by that sucker may be a nasty one I'm sure, a stab wound with any knife that size would certainly be pretty brutal as well, but also can slice and chop, which that thing would be completely inept at doing efficiently due to the triple spiral design... Not to mention the bulk of carrying it... I'll take my chances with my bk5.
 
I'm pretty sure it's a war crime to use it in action under the Geneva Convention.

" no you cant kill them with that its too scary! you have to kill them with a regular knife instead..."

exactly a one trick pony.
And for a tactical weapon it seems to be lacking in many areas

Probably most guys would prefer to be killed quickly than mutilated to death by some enemy mall ninja. Yep such types don't stop being ninjas suddenly only because they wear a uniform.

To reduce cruelty and increase the likelyhood of a more humane death, weapons who blind you or cook your skin or mess up your lungs and let you die slowly were tried to be restricted.
In many civilized countries there are even restriction on how to kill a pig. I guess if we have to kill humans we should at least not treat them worse than animals.
I also believe these kind of restrictions predate the UN by quite a bit.

Something even more boggling. Should I seriously not shoot the guy on his parachute who, once he reaches the ground, will stop at nothing to kill me? Yeah right.
 
You'd probably not be treated very well if captured with one of those.
 
I recall seeing these when they first came out. I thought it was a neat demonstration of what could be achieved with modern CNC machines over any real use. They are kinda cool even if they aren't that useful :)

It's the Hague conventions (1899 and 1907) that govern weapons of war, the Geneva Convention governs treatment of prisoners (1949). The UN wasn't founded until 1945.
 
I was watching Lockup Raw last night and this kind of looks like the prison shank one of the inmates made out of his cellies bed spring.
 
It's designed only for stabbing and that's all it can do I doubt anyone can argue this point. Designed to inflict a large wound that would almost certainly require immediate stitches as the blade has that twist to it to create a larger wound than a flat blade
