Spiral Bladed Knife

[jacksterp]

Anyone familiar with this knife? Searched for spiral blade and came up empty handed. Looks extremely mall-ninjaish.

arent those kinds of knives illegal everywhere under the geneva convention or something?

 

[Bugout Bill]

Ugh...Why.

I'd rather have an ADO.

that knife is NOTHING but a cool looking paperweight unless your goal is to ventilate a human type animal.

It would make absolutely gruesome wounds, but would be basically useless for cutting things

Right on! Of all the knives out there on the market, this is by far one of the most pointless. But, people buy it, so I can't blame them for making it!

It would probably do a nice number on a melon.

I though meat tenderizer judging by the handle...

 

[gooeytek]

blood tap.

 

[BePrepared]

blood tap.

even with that meat grinder handle, that thing would get slippery as HELL with blood all over it

 

[hank_rearden]

what are you guys saying? it's a cheese tester; to see whether or not the special molds have permeated through to the center.

That's the Microtech Dildo errr...jagdkommando.

Tenderize the meat externally and internally!

I like the pineapple grenade sheath.

Hand held bayonet.

When people see this stuff, the Geneva Convention seems to come up. That addressed the treatment of captured soldiers. The Hague Convention spelled out the arms. Bayonets are ok as long as they don't have saw teeth on them. Moot point, almost nobody uses them in war, much more often they are present during internal civil protests, which aren't covered by the Conventions.

What the knife represents is the epitome of selling something because they can - not because it fills a need. But, you could say that about forged aluminum wheels, too. They don't really do anything better than a steel wheel, except put more profit into the makers hand.

I saw that picture posted on 9gag with all sorts of comments from fellows who fancy themselves knife experts... Anyway, as some folks already pointed out it's a Microtech Jadgkommando (a production version of a Marfione custom, if I'm not mistaken).

It's an art knife of sorts, an excercise in machining. I ordered one for a local collector, handled it a bit and thought it was a cool conversation piece, but not my first (or second or third) choice if I was going to spend 700+ dollars on a knife.

As to the Geneva convention comments, the text of the convention can be downloaded for free. Oddly enough, there isn't a section on wicked looking impractical knives.

 

[K.O.D.]

I've got two of those knives mounted on the front of my bicycle.

Actually, a point is pretty much all it has!

Unless you're in a high performance racing environment, because reduction of the moment of inertia of the wheel does, in fact, make a difference. I agree with the other stuff though

It's beautifully designed purpose built killing tool.
