I can see where a diver might need one of these. However, I have no desire
to take a knife to a bear fight and would opt for a few extra rifle rounds
and pack a sidearm. Evidently the wusses in the UK had a hissy fit over
these and as I recall were trying to ban them not too long ago. IMO, it's
just an interesting gadget with limited practical application but has the
potential of scaring the Hell out of liberals everywhere.

it fucking injects a compressed cold gas pellet that balloons to the size of a basketball and snap freezes organs. coolest weapon ever... period(.)

When was the last documented case of someone going bear hunting with a knife?

Quite frankly, this weapon is probably as big a threat to the handler, who is likely to accidentally stab himself and inject compressed air into his own body, than it is to any animal.
Look for upcoming news stories for just such an event.

If there are people out there stupid enough to accidentally shoot themselves, then it goes without saying that this should make for a few more Darwin awards.
Stay tuned.

i think it's an emergency measure. anyone hunting bears without a heavy arsenal is dumb. people underestimate bears and chimps. both of them will tear you apart, literally!

The danger of someone being attacked with one of those probably greatly increased the first time someone wrote a fucking news article about them.

If you're close enough to a bear or a chimp that a knife is the last resort, chances are you wouldn't have enough time to unstrap it and be in a position to use it. If a bear pounces on top of you, you're cooked.
If a monkey is within 10 feet of you and decides to attack you, you're cooked. With or without this knife.

I'd rather have a pistol any day on land and if I were in a situation where a shark(s) is attacking, I suppose I'd give it a try. Have you ever heard of using shark tonic? If you rub a sharks head, it immediately goes into a limp, coma-type state and starts falling to the bottom of the ocean. It only lasts for a minute or so, but it might give you time to get away.

It's true! Watch Shark Week on the Animal Planet. It's a trip. At first, they were just trying it on smaller sharks, but one guy with brass balls tried it on a big Great White and it immediately went into tonic and started sinking. When the shark came out of it, he left the guy alone and you could tell he was confused.

All you have to do is not panic and rub the head of the shark, kinda like you would do to a cat or dog. The effect is instant and last for several seconds or in some cases, close to a minute.

I'm calling bullshit. If it was that easy, dolphins would have figured it out years ago.

Those sharks were investigating him, not going after him as prey. I have a feeling that it'll be a bit more difficult to pull that trick off when the shark is trying to eat you.

From what many scientists say, it wouldn't matter if they were investigating or attacking. Besides, sharks always investigate before they attack.

I couldn't find the video with the gigantic Great White getting tonic'd, but you can be damn sure I'd have a go at it before I let one eat me.

Just think, if Quint had just rubbed the nose while falling into the sharks mouth, he might be alive today.

The UK thought they would solve their crime problems with super strict gun laws, but this goes to show people will always look to other ways to kill each other. Knife crime is getting really out of hand in Britian, even kids are going to school wearing stab vests these days.

Where can you buy one of these knifes before the feds ban them.

400 bucks for a co2 cartrige with a blade on it. No thanks.

Yeah, I'd rather just buy another gun...

unless you take it out as a precautionary measure because you see a cub which mean momma bear isnt far behind and ready to tear you to shreds.

true, but that's not their first mode of attack.

not true. you may get fucked up a bit but you would be far better off than if you didnt kill that fucker.

I could kill a chimp with that knife, as long as it worked exactly as advertised.

Chimps are 6 times stronger than the average human. They fight like a dirty mexicans, gouge your eyes out, bite off your fingers and rip your face off. Good luck trying to shoot one of those little fast pissed off bastards let alone stab it. Remember what that chimp did to that chick up in conneticut. youtube the 911 call. its sick but funny in a strange way

I remember my Old man telling me that he wouldn't carry anything less than his .357 Magnum, along with his .35 Remington Lever-Action Marlin 336, up in an area like Alaska (Or Bear Country for that matter). He has a .45-70 (Springfield, Cavalry Carbine, US Army issued), but it's only a breach-loader (Single shot). The round it packs however can drop a charging 2,000 lb. Buffalo dead in its tracks.

As for me, I'm looking forward to packing a Glock 20/29 loaded hot, and possibly an M14, a .12 Pump-Action with 3" Magnums, or a Lever-Action .35 Remington/.45-70.

Relating to this knife, I find it of use for diving beyond anything else. I swim in the ocean a lot, and I dive, and do pretty much everything else you can do in such an environment. I always carry my knife with me, even as a last resort against an attacking shark. One with an exploding tip would be amazingly useful, because it's akin to a downsized Bang-stick (Albeit much less powerful). I do worry about your average nutcase getting a hold of such a thing though. It wouldn't be a bad idea to require background checks for such a weapon.

The problem with "Investigations", is that they often involve a bite. For a large Great White, than can mean half of your body. There was a guy out in Cali many years back who was attacked by a GW. His gf was trying to pull him onto the beach, and all that came out of the water was from his midsection, up. The shark was estimated to be somewhere up near 30 feet in length.

A family member of mine was commanding a Special Operations HDU out there at the time (With EOD), and they went on a shark hunt after that. They took a huge grapling hook, lodged a giant chunk of raw meat onto it, and towed it behind them. Before you knew it, there were at least a half-dozen fins popping up all going after it. The first shark that took the bait was opened up on by machine guns, and rifles, then the other sharks went for the first shark, and target practice resumed. Needless to say, the harbour population of Great Whites had their asses kicked that day. Boy oh boy, I can see PETA having a field day with THAT now-a-days lol.

I find that kinda hard to believe that any shark off the Cali coastline was 30 feet long. Who estimated that?

Who exactly sent commandos out to shoot and kill sharks and why?

Brilliant! Now all the surviving sharks know to go back to that beach for dinner and a bit of blood wine.

Now we get to the truth of this "operation". Target practice at the expense of nearly wiping out a species that was simply trying to survive the only way it knows how. Ever hear of shark nets or the many other types of barriers to keep sharks away from the populated beaches? How about tranquilizer guns and relocate the sharks further out to sea? Still would be target practice.

Not just PETA, but anyone that cares about life on this planet. This was simply a case of slaughter for the enjoyment of a few knuckleheads that just wanted to shoot shit. Not cool!!
