Just saw this weird knife...

Not to mention the sheath looks like some kind of device found in a woman on woman porn flick!
 
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 :)

Ditto. I can't think of any practical use off the top of my head, but I agree they look cool and appear nicely made.
 
"I'm gonna super duper stab you, hang on a minute, I have to unscrew my knife from it's sheath. Hang on, I almost got it. Ah Ha, on guard!"
 
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 really want to stab a water mellon with the shark exploder thing. Kind of ala Gallager.
 
850 dollars for a bead blasted 440 steel novelty item. I honestly dont know what microtech was thinking this thing's an unfunny joke
 
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
The twist certainly looks cool, in a futuristic space vampire/Viking way, but I wonder if the wrist of the blade as it penetrated would be twisted out of the hand of the doing the stabathon ???
 
That Microtech, to me, is a monument to everything that is wrong with the knife industry.
 
Is this a case where a chinese knockoff might be welcomed?

Zero

Why, except for collection purposes, would anyone even want one of those? It's useless as a weapon. It's useless as a tool. It's ugly and the sheath looks like it's supposed to fit a battery somewhere.
 
I think it has at least 1 practical application.... but they would have to be MUCH smaller and attached to arrows....

I dunno....maybe actually increase the size by 50% and mount em on a 7 foot shaft for hog hunting?......

and that's about all I can think of....
 
I think it can cut quite well depending on how you look at it. Due to the curve it doesnt even matter how you are holding it there will always be some part of some edge hitting the target. This way it's a better cutter for 379 degrees than any other blade single edge knife, but for that only sacrifices performance at that 1 orientation where normal blades are king.
Sure you couldn't cut a steak straight but nobody could tell me that they could tolerate this "bad for cutting knife" drawn over their arm for example.
 
With 440a steel! what a steal of a deal!!

They were aiming at keeping the cost affordable...


And since we're on the topic of "weird knives", I saw this little gem on the jungle river site a while back, this thread made be think about it.

The "alien robot tactictical liner lock" knife... I can't even........ And here I thought tactical alien robots used laser canons and death rays... Apparently they use complex liner lock knives, probably made from some secret exotic alien metal alloy I'm sure...
