Spider knife

[snow and steel]

Did everyone see this video? Shame he damaged the spider in install, and since he's not a "knife knut" we'll forgive him on it not being truly razor sharp... still, cool concept. Perhaps some of our BF makers could do similar

 

[knarfeng]

No thanks.

Kewl.

I saw a maker do the same type thing, but with a bass lure the other week. In fact, I believe it was a maker on here if I'm not mistaken.

Doesn't this make dinosaurs come back or something? I might be remembering it wrong.......

I hate spiders. Not afraid of them, they just look like nightmare creatures to me.

 

[snow and steel]

Perhaps not practical but I think it would be cool

I'll put on my nerd glasses:

Spiders tend to be unsettling because they use hydraulic systems to move their limbs. They have some muscles for curling them back, but it's a series of blood-filled pumps that give them that unique creeping locomotion. Insects tend to use muscles for extending and moving their limbs. It's this hydraulic system failing when spiders die that cause them to curl up.

Fascinating creatures. Fun fact, they are not related to insects in the slightest. They diverged from that line of arthropoda some 500 million years ago making bugs and insects more closely related to us than to spiders and scorpions. Also, there have been cognitive tests done on specific species of jumping spiders that demonstrate forward thinking and planning strategies where they have a concept of location and future orientation by observing them zeroing in on a larger but more dangerous prey, then crawling out of the line of sight of said prey and climbing to a higher attack point from above. It was long thought that only larger more complex brains were capable of such things and that spiders were only reactive to stimuli.

Anyway....cool knife, but it looks like if someone typed "Spyderco Knife" in an AI image generator.

unsettling because

Yeah , well maybe ?

But... I don't think if they had cat or human type limbs , would be any more appealing !

Ever heard the expression "you're never more than 4 feet from a spider" ?

 

[MolokaiRider]

Spiders are cool!

If exoskeletons scaled up better they would be building the cities and we would be hiding in the attic.
