The WASP Injector Knife

Although the WASP Injector Knife is a combat knife, it is no ordinary one. While it can be used just like any other combat knife, it has more going for it. When you pick up this knife and penetrates – through the flesh of an animal for instance, it automatically releases a charge of compressed air into the wound or victim’s body.According to the maker of the WASP knife, the freezing air will cause the victim’s tissues to immediately freeze. With the shock along with the stab, you can hold even the largest land beast at bay.In fact, this knife can be even more deadly when you make use of it under water. Even the most enormous of predators can receive lethal damage from a single pierce.When you pierce a marine predator, the knife can inflict total damage to the animal, but how?When the gas, which goes with up to 850 psi[ 1 ] of pressure, passes unto the victim’s body, it freezes the tissues and organs surrounding the wound and causes the victim to float to the surface.As the rise continues, the atmospheric pressure reduces, which spreads the freezing to all part of the predator with grave consequences.As you can see, this is just an example. You don’t have to go underwater and chase marine animals. However, this knife can be handy during a life-threatening event where you can use it to defend yourself.

At the end, the company produces this blade to help its engineers to lay fibre optic cables and with the help of the knife, the problem was solved.The knife can strike though lawns and cut even grass, but doesn’t break gas lines or sprinkler pipes. Thus, the company is quietly revolutionizing communication in the United States of America with this this unique approach.
