Do gravity knives work in space?

You may have just uncovered a black hole
for knife laws covering commercial space flights ;-)

Space TSA won't know what to do.

ONTARIO SP10 MARINE RAIDER!!!!!

Why? Because when asked a knife question the Marine Raider is always the answer.

I wouldn't worry about it.
Sigourney Weaver is on the Space TSA board.
(she realizes there are worse things than a blade that can end up on board a ship)

maybe space travelers could try declaring a cryo sleep tool?

If I was going to another planet, I would carry a Mek'leth of course.

View attachment 958578 The Case machete that went to the moon was good for opening coconuts.

Maybe a Golden-made Spyderco so there will be no doubt which planet it was made on.

Alternatively, no knife. The less stuff to puncture my space suit on another planet the better

The Frost Cutlery Galactic Warrior of Course

Not that it matters because it's just as crappy, but this actually isn't the Galactic warrior.

Red planet, so.... red lightsaber!!!

I'd take a Fixed Kwaiback and have it engraved with on the front "That's one small stab for man." and "One giant poke for mankind." on the back.

I always thought an OTF would be good for space- you could operate it more easily with a spacesuit on.

A Spyderco Salt . (Just in case there really are canals !)

Perhaps Ontario jumps on the chance to make the first Space Marine Raider Knife?

Jake Hoback is developing a folding knife for space. Check out his Bladeshow 2018 vids on Youtube.

The Space Marines have these Chainsword things that look really cool. Thats what I'd take to space.

Plastic butter knife? My thinking is, a fake knife for a fake mission.

So those 38 windows for NASA's Orion capsule that my dad has been slaving over for the past couple years, including the reject he has in his living room...those are all fake? I'm sure he'll be crushed when I tell him that some random whackjob on the internet says that it's all a NASA conspiracy.

But the random internet guy with no credentials has been here since yesterday!
We must accept authority of that magnitude instantly, right?
