So, I've actually done a fair amount of research on this knife. I'm a diver and was planning on doing some shark dives (unfortunately the opportunity fell through.) From my understanding, this knife was designed to inject a large amount of gas into an attacking shark's body cavity. Sharks rely on neutral buoyancy to maintain particular depths. Injecting a large amount of gas would make the animal much more buoyant and immediately force it to the surface, thus ending the attack. I'm not sure its ever been used for it's intended purpose but I imagine it would work fairly well assuming you got a good amount of penetration into the sharks side.
It strikes me as one of those things that's good in theory but probably not all that good in practice. Firstly shark skin is pretty tough and stabbing forcefully underwater isn't as easy as you'd hope so decent penetration might be an issue, add to this the fact that apart from the underbelly they've got thick muscles along the back and flanks so your chances of reaching the internal cavity aren't great (the bigger the shark, the bigger this problem becomes). Secondly the shark is most likely to attack from the blind side grab an appendage and then shake violently which could render your ability to retaliate improbable if not impossible. Thirdly, if you manage to get the knife in deep enough while the shark is thrashing about in a frenzy it's going to be awfully difficult to hold onto the handle let alone manipulate the charge release and stop it popping out under the pressure of the discharge, you haven't got anything to brace against unless you're pinned to the deck or against rocks. I don't doubt that if it all went to plan and worked as designed that it'd be devastating but I'm not sure I'd trust my safety to those variables. I'm sure a better course of action would be getting some coaching on shark behaviour so you could recognise the danger signs and get back to the boat before a dangerous situation developed, prevention is always better than cure.
They did a huge job of false information on this knife , although if you stick that knife into a person They are going to have big problems. If they built this knife , their is definitely one that's more lethal somewhere.
The gas leaking from the handle is because the first test you did compromised the integrity of seals. The ballistics gel was too strong and most of the gas was forced back through the knife, so the knife would never perform as intended after that first test.
In my experience those CO2 cartridges always leak. The seal at the puncture is just metal on metal, so any bur or gap is an automatic pressure leak.. I don't think you could hold a real charge on it for more than a few hours.
Lol, which seal do you think is somehow being subjected to more than it can handle? Literally makes no sense. Max pressure exists on the seals in their normal operating environment. This product is useless and stupid. Any damage this could do is nothing compared to a half inch longer knife.
They aren't meant for stabbing into ballistics gel, they are meant to be stabbed into a body cavity. The gas does two things: inflates the body cavity with a gas, causing the shark to float away and inhibit it's ability to swim, and detach muscle groups from the side walls of the cavity you punctured. In a human, you would cause the body cavity to pressurize, not only making it impossible to draw breath, but potentially rupturing softer organs by the drastic increase in pressure on them.
It should work just fine with ballistics gel actually. The problem is I think his ballistics gel mix is a bit too thick/too cold. The knife shouldn’t have had as much trouble as it did penetrating it, even if it was dull. I think if he had a more ideal ballistics gel mix we would have seen a bigger cavity from the gas. It can be a pain in the ass to get an ideal gel mix and temp. It’s one of the big downsides to it in general. Tests are only really accurate for a limited amount of time as heat or cold interact with the physical properties
@@noobgoestrapping5084 yeah, plus ballistics gel, while a good simulacrum of flesh, doesn't have the cavities and varying flesh density of a real body. Also, you are right in the fact that it was too hard. Most people make it too hard, so it lasts longer.
These are designed to inject C02 into a body cavity. This is why the ballistic gel test is a little underwhelming. In a body cavity it will expand and cause massive trauma.
Seems like it'd be hard to successfully penetrate an attacking shark and simultaneously activate the trigger under a stressful situation, especially given how thick it is.
Luckily, sharks are pretty sensitive to magnetic fields, so there are plenty of gadgets that give every shark in the immediate vicinity painful, full body cramps.
interesting thing about this that I'd wish was easier to test, is it's not necessarily mean to go deep, it's supposed to just get right under the shark's skin, so that when you push the button, it creates a cavity between the skin and the rest of the body, it also freezes certain portions causing more damage
Maybe also it puts CO2 into the bloodstream as well? I mean, that's the exact opposite of gases our biology needs. Regardless, these tests don't look like they'd feel good, ballistics gel just has limitations as a flesh alternative because (correct me if I'm wrong) it's designed for weapon impact and its effects.

@@Contabulator doesn't change the fact that you die if you get a gas bubble in your blood system. So if you are stabbed by someone who is strong enough to get the knife deep enough into your flesh to release the gas into your body, you will have a good chance of dying.
8:04 you can hear the air releasing. If you have it tightened as tight as it goes that is a bad sign because that means it will only last 10-20 minutes or so until it runs out of co2. So if you wanted to use this for self defense you would have to screw in a new container before you stab or you’d just have to use it like a normal knife (which as we saw doesn’t work too well)
It only works once per CO2 cartridge. It releases all the gas in one shot. You don't get multiple uses per CO2 cartridge, so I don't know what you're talking about.
I would think all these tests needed to be done under water since the hydraulic pressure will be completely different when the thing you’re stabbing is submerged.
Tired of the plain-old stabby-stabby? Now you can give your victim THE BENDS at the same time! Violate the Geneva Convention with every stab! Fun at parties!
Haven't seen one of these in years. I've always wanted to add one to my knife collection, but getting to see Tyler mess around with his is more than enough for now!
If you got into someone's chest cavity I think the instant pressure increase would most likely collapse one's lungs. Once collapsed they have to be immediately manually re-inflated or the person would suffocate faster then they would bleed out.
If you got someone's chest cavity with a 6 inch knife you're probably going to collapse a lung regardless of shooting air into it or not. And they would still most likely die anyways
@@slumbynature4557 Florida got gators and all kind of shit. So I'm sure he prob has used it plenty of times as a knife and CO2 knife each diving in florida
@@VjjQueen It would only take one stab/defense to pay for itself if it saves your life but I'm guessing that isn't the case, given the guy would probably mention it saving his life against a gator etc.
The reason why it didn't work in ballistics gel is that the gel is supposed to be a substitute for the whole body composition. The CO2 primarily does the damage in soft areas, where the pressure alone does most of the damage. It would be devastating in lungs or in the stomach area. So Jello might be a more fun experiment.
I watched a video of someone testing one of these years ago. They had the ballistic gel fart machine going as well. Maybe you need to test to see the best way to use that knife as a fart machine. Oooh, try putting it in between two blocks of gel tied together. That would probably generate one hell of a fart sound!

Anyone who watched Law & Order SVU back in the day with Stabler & attractive Benson know exactly what this knife can do. I think it was the episode with John Stamos.
That's TV, not reality. Just because you see something work a specific way on the idiot box does not mean that's how it really works. So let me guess...you think you can ramp a car, jump 40 yards, land and drive off like nothing happened too? Cmon
@@heshell6001 exactly what it sounded like...TV is fake. How things work on TV is not always how they work in real life. I feel bad for those that compare the two.
You need to get something as close to what it would be used against, a whole pig carcass to simulate a human being and a large whole fish (preferably in water) to simulate what it would be like underwater, which I think would be more devastating and what it was designed for.
“I’m curious at how much damage this would do in real life” Me: well seeing as if a single tiny bubble of any gas gets directly into an artery and flows into you heart it can kill you so I’d say other than the fact that you’re releasing high pressure gas into the body id say this knife is so dangerous that I’m glad they aren’t common Edit: I know this comment is wrong don’t comment about it being wrong it’s annoying
This is actually a common misconception. It takes a relatively large volume to cause issues, I believe 300-500 CCs give or take. A small bubble would dissolve in your blood before it reaches your heart, as that's the purpose of blood.
@@benben9794 Nah. Your blood has a single purpose, ant that's to move and absorb gasses. A small bubble isn't much risk, as it will be absorbed fairly quickly. It's primarily a risk if a very large bubble gets to the heart, as it makes it stop being able to pump correctly. A LOT of people get small bubbles from an IV and are fine.
So the main issue is that the knife is meant for underwater use. Using it above water on a slab of dense ballistic gel damaged it from the start. Further the above water tests all allow easy release of the CO2. Underwater it gets trapped expanding more violently and has a second shockwave which does the actual damage.
That's basically a war crime knife, that pressure release after the stab would cause a insane amount of pain and it would be harder if not impossible to stop the bleeding in the loose hole created by the gas, if hit in the torax it would rupture most nearby organs. It's more of a torture device if used in combat.
I think if you didn’t move the knife around in the gel stuff and just stabbed it, it might have a bigger outcome when the gas is released. I think because it had space around the knife in the fell it just chose that route to exit.
You’ve never seen anything bleed to death faster than getting stuck by a wasp knife. It literally blows a blanket of air around the blade causing immediate internal bleeding, and the blast can rupture soft tissues easily.
From what I understand about blades is that we have certain designs we regularly see on them because of their use on other humans and animals. Things with muscles like ours. When we get our flesh punctured our muscles clamp down on it to prevent it going in farther and so they don't get pulled out so there's less of a chance of us bleeding out. So flat blades like a table knife don't work as well as something with curves or a groove in it to allow the passage of air to break the muscle seal so we can pull it out and stab again more easily. If you are wanting to create an air explosion inside something or someone then that non-flat design works against you as the air just seems to be pushing backwards to the handle.
Not how it works. Muscles only pull in one direction. If a flat blade is oriented in a way it could be clamped down on, the edge will have severed all the muscle fibres that would have been in a position to squeeze it. The muscle contractions you allude to restricting blood flow occur within major blood vessels, not across a whole skeletal muscle. Also, there's no seal or suction with an object penetrating the body. The only time things get "stuck" is when they get embedded into bone or connective tissue, where there's just a lot of friction. Blade designed with grooves, more than two edges etc are generally either just trying to reduce weight, or they're doing it for aesthetic reasons.
Love the randomness of Tyler! That Co2 knife is probably devastating at 30-40 meter depths with all the preasure going on. You as a human being will become poisoned or get internal injuries or die if you go to the surface too quick after being stabbed by that thing, it might be the same for sharks, dunno, I am just guessing.. :P
There's a problem here with keeping a seal. The reason it's not working is because the ballistics gel and the melons have sealed insides, but that means the air goes right out the stab hole. The reason it works so well on living things is a body naturally forms a seal around the knife, and a pocket of air can be formed INSIDE the body. Finding a way to seal the hole you are stabbing in is key
A living body can also deform to accommodate the gas volume. It also doesn't "seal" anything. tissue will just move out of the way and the gas will slowly leak back out the hole. For comparison, the gas volume released from this thing at atmospheric pressire (ie not underwater) is about one human lungful. Alternatively to trying to hold a knife in a moving, resisting body for the several seconds it takes to discharge this thing, you could just... stab a bunch more times.
The creator Greg R. made his own prototype and it was the ONLY THING that he was able to dispatch large snapping turtles in an area that they were deemed overpopulated in a job he had been in charge of as a professional scuba diver. There are also ice pick styles that activate via when the pick is pushed backwards into the animal, shark, etc.
I slowed playback speed to 25% and watched the gel block portion. You can clearly see that most of the CO2 comes back out of the wound channel. The gel block looks really firm. There’s actually a cloud of gas that pops back out towards your hand. Very little of it creates a penetration of the gel. You probably don’t feel it come back out because of the hilt. Thinking the watermelon test is more indicative of what happens defending against a 2 legged ‘shark’. 😂🤣😂
Those aren't for self defense against humans. They're for sharks. The gas is supposed to make the shark float, rendering it harmless. Not like explode animals insides

Feed your neighbour with different foods (pizzas, burgers, ice creams, etc . . .), then the day after, insert adirectly a cO2 cartrige into their intimity, record & put online. We'll be there . . . 😜😁
The is test would have been better if you didn’t wiggle it when you put it in because then the air would not be able to escape and it would have been locked in. Great vid though love your content
Weird to think it’s used for sharks. Can you imagine how hard you’d have to swing your arm to hit a shark UNDER WATER? It’s not only a shark, but the knife is thick, the button for co2 can be hard to maintain grip with a swimming shark, and it’s pointless after one use. Great product 😂
The gas is escaping back towards the handle of the knife, so you are not getting the full potential of the gas pressure when used in the b allistics gel, but you get a much better, and more realistic result in the water, which would be much closer to the internals of an animal.
for the fruit you really need to seal up the opening around the knife.. maybe hot glue, putty, caulk, some kinda sealant. Then maybe you’ll get exploding fruit. The release just ins’t explosive enough for what you’re imagining. maybe cutting off the escape route for the gas will help with the carnage lol.
Honestly, with it being essentially a devoted shark knife, I think that the manufacture is hedging its bets on the fact that there aren’t going to be many people with the time, money, and opportunity to put this product to the test, and even fewer that will survive to report a bad design (if it is such). It doesn’t make for a good general purpose knife, comes with a large price tag (and it should come with a good sharp blade at this price point), has an ultra niche purpose, and using it in self defense would give prosecutors a field day (they’ll claim possession for criminal intent because you used an expensive, purpose built tool outside of its intended purpose/environment. You may or may not be guilty of that, but you’ll definitely end up with some expensive legal fees proving it.) on top of that, you exposed a gas leak in less than 1 meter of water. The CO2 cartridge may have been seated improperly, but it’s still disappointing. $200 air soft guns have much better seals and are more complex in their design. At $600, it should be designed to be “dummy proof” (ie should be designed so that it can’t be locked in at all if not seated properly). I’m not sure about the physiology of sharks, so rapidly injecting them with CO2 may be an effective defense, but I think the main function of this knife is separating money from peoples wallets.
The expanding CO2 also freezes the wound in the shark, preventing the blood from spilling into the water and attracting other sharks when you stab it, and fills the body with a gas bubble making it float to the surface.
My biggest concern is how long will the knife hold pressure? The leaking gasses may be from seal damage from the gel test or it may be from a design fault. Years ago I got a CO2 pistol that slowly leaked its gas and was useless in a short period of time. A survival knife should be ready to use anytime. Now if the knife held a significant amount of gas for the duration of a dive then a small leak could be overlooked. However if you need to put a new cylinder in to defend with it, it wouldn't be a good tool. They had sticks designed to do this years ago. The CO2 cylinder was pierced at the time of impact and the gas passed thru a heavy duty needle into the shark thus disabling it with little effort. A knife wouldn't be as good of an option as it has the potential to cause more blood in the water that would attract more sharks. This is a very expensive gadget that I wouldn't trust my survival on.
If I'm not mistaken, the expanding CO2 gas will also cause surrounding flesh to freeze, as an expanding gas cools. Did you not test for the cooling result at all??????? Was the watermelon frozen at all?????

"This should do 100 times more damage than just a regular stab would"
*FBI wants to know your location*
A stab wound is a stab wound regardless of the co2. A knife that big could probably do the job without the co2.
@@superwolf28 have you ever been stabbed before?
@@superwolf28 the Co2 is definitely a added threat. If you get any kind of gas bubble in your blood system, you will be dead.
@@TarisLuna lmao this is not the movies that knife is weak af...
@@Contabulator doesn't change the fact that you die if you get a gas bubble in your blood system. So if you are stabbed by someone who is strong enough to get the knife deep enough into your flesh to release the gas into your body, you will have a good chance of dying.
A knife that can defend a diver from a shark... but imposed difficulties for him to free himself from a fishnet entanglement.
8:04 you can hear the air releasing. If you have it tightened as tight as it goes that is a bad sign because that means it will only last 10-20 minutes or so until it runs out of co2. So if you wanted to use this for self defense you would have to screw in a new container before you stab or you’d just have to use it like a normal knife (which as we saw doesn’t work too well)
It only works once per CO2 cartridge. It releases all the gas in one shot. You don't get multiple uses per CO2 cartridge, so I don't know what you're talking about.
I would think all these tests needed to be done under water since the hydraulic pressure will be completely different when the thing you’re stabbing is submerged.
Good point.

Haven't seen one of these in years. I've always wanted to add one to my knife collection, but getting to see Tyler mess around with his is more than enough for now!
If you got into someone's chest cavity I think the instant pressure increase would most likely collapse one's lungs. Once collapsed they have to be immediately manually re-inflated or the person would suffocate faster then they would bleed out.
If you got someone's chest cavity with a 6 inch knife you're probably going to collapse a lung regardless of shooting air into it or not. And they would still most likely die anyways

Such an underrated UA-camr
For the money, it's awesome that it works more or less as promised, but it's also something virtually nobody will ever need.
This is an opportunity to want to watch a certain German Sling Shot specialist "Show Us Its Features!!!" 🤠👍🇩🇪
The reason why it didn't work in ballistics gel is that the gel is supposed to be a substitute for the whole body composition. The CO2 primarily does the damage in soft areas, where the pressure alone does most of the damage. It would be devastating in lungs or in the stomach area. So Jello might be a more fun experiment.

“I’ve got to say, your fruit killing skills are remarkable”
I watched a video of someone testing one of these years ago. They had the ballistic gel fart machine going as well. Maybe you need to test to see the best way to use that knife as a fart machine. Oooh, try putting it in between two blocks of gel tied together. That would probably generate one hell of a fart sound!
I would like To see what happens when you stab into a piece of meat with that knife like a steak or a chicken, but if you do it don't blame me when your garage is covered with meat.

That's TV, not reality. Just because you see something work a specific way on the idiot box does not mean that's how it really works. So let me guess...you think you can ramp a car, jump 40 yards, land and drive off like nothing happened too? Cmon

Tyler buys a weapon designed to be used underwater and does his testing on a table.
Every Mall Ninja gonna be rocking one of these.
each new scene comes along with lowered expectations, lol.
You need to get something as close to what it would be used against, a whole pig carcass to simulate a human being and a large whole fish (preferably in water) to simulate what it would be like underwater, which I think would be more devastating and what it was designed for.
“I’m curious at how much damage this would do in real life”
Me: well seeing as if a single tiny bubble of any gas gets directly into an artery and flows into you heart it can kill you so I’d say other than the fact that you’re releasing high pressure gas into the body id say this knife is so dangerous that I’m glad they aren’t common
Edit: I know this comment is wrong don’t comment about it being wrong it’s annoying
Also because real bodies have cavities for the air to expel faster and the gel is just redirecting it back out the entry wound
This is actually a common misconception. It takes a relatively large volume to cause issues, I believe 300-500 CCs give or take. A small bubble would dissolve in your blood before it reaches your heart, as that's the purpose of blood.
@@ThatRPGuywithtoomanyOCs as far as i know it can still be deadly to get any air bubble in your blood stream as even a small one can cause a stroke...
@@benben9794 Nah. Your blood has a single purpose, ant that's to move and absorb gasses. A small bubble isn't much risk, as it will be absorbed fairly quickly. It's primarily a risk if a very large bubble gets to the heart, as it makes it stop being able to pump correctly.
A LOT of people get small bubbles from an IV and are fine.
@@benben9794 one of the big problems with bubbles is rapid depressurisation, which causes gasses to exit solution
I was really hoping for jello. I think it would make a nice explosion. Awesome video man.
The watermelon one made me think of this as some sort of anime weapon that instantly cuts whatever it stabs completely in half.
So the main issue is that the knife is meant for underwater use. Using it above water on a slab of dense ballistic gel damaged it from the start. Further the above water tests all allow easy release of the CO2. Underwater it gets trapped expanding more violently and has a second shockwave which does the actual damage.
the co2 will escape the easiest path, which is usually where it entered.
"It's more designed to do what it does."
Imagine that. Something that does what it's designed to do.
I think the CO2 cartridge might not be tight enough I’ve seen other knives the same exact as that do way more damage
That's basically a war crime knife, that pressure release after the stab would cause a insane amount of pain and it would be harder if not impossible to stop the bleeding in the loose hole created by the gas, if hit in the torax it would rupture most nearby organs.
It's more of a torture device if used in combat.
It's made as a concept to extract the blade if it gets stuck. In actual knife fights blades get stuck easier than most people would think.
Yeah the pressure from the CO2 would open the cut wider causing more damage than a normal stab wound.
I think if you didn’t move the knife around in the gel stuff and just stabbed it, it might have a bigger outcome when the gas is released. I think because it had space around the knife in the fell it just chose that route to exit.
The knife in the video is defective, those bubbles coming out in the water were co2 bubbles, less co2 means less damage
You’ve never seen anything bleed to death faster than getting stuck by a wasp knife. It literally blows a blanket of air around the blade causing immediate internal bleeding, and the blast can rupture soft tissues easily.
From what I understand about blades is that we have certain designs we regularly see on them because of their use on other humans and animals. Things with muscles like ours. When we get our flesh punctured our muscles clamp down on it to prevent it going in farther and so they don't get pulled out so there's less of a chance of us bleeding out. So flat blades like a table knife don't work as well as something with curves or a groove in it to allow the passage of air to break the muscle seal so we can pull it out and stab again more easily. If you are wanting to create an air explosion inside something or someone then that non-flat design works against you as the air just seems to be pushing backwards to the handle.
Not how it works. Muscles only pull in one direction. If a flat blade is oriented in a way it could be clamped down on, the edge will have severed all the muscle fibres that would have been in a position to squeeze it. The muscle contractions you allude to restricting blood flow occur within major blood vessels, not across a whole skeletal muscle. Also, there's no seal or suction with an object penetrating the body. The only time things get "stuck" is when they get embedded into bone or connective tissue, where there's just a lot of friction. Blade designed with grooves, more than two edges etc are generally either just trying to reduce weight, or they're doing it for aesthetic reasons.
I saw this on a CSI episode years ago and thought it was the coolest thing ever lol.
Love the randomness of Tyler! That Co2 knife is probably devastating at 30-40 meter depths with all the preasure going on. You as a human being will become poisoned or get internal injuries or die if you go to the surface too quick after being stabbed by that thing, it might be the same for sharks, dunno, I am just guessing.. :P
Imagine this with either poison gas or with hydrogen or helium dispense for more volume. Or perhaps hydrogen with a sparker of sorts.
Buy raw cow meat/steak, raw chicken meat, sausage, then do the experiment with that cool knife !!
Just waiting for the comments on how Tyler has done this ‘wrong’ 😏
Without fail. I'm sure the experts will come in to correct something minor.
There's a problem here with keeping a seal. The reason it's not working is because the ballistics gel and the melons have sealed insides, but that means the air goes right out the stab hole. The reason it works so well on living things is a body naturally forms a seal around the knife, and a pocket of air can be formed INSIDE the body. Finding a way to seal the hole you are stabbing in is key
A living body can also deform to accommodate the gas volume. It also doesn't "seal" anything. tissue will just move out of the way and the gas will slowly leak back out the hole. For comparison, the gas volume released from this thing at atmospheric pressire (ie not underwater) is about one human lungful. Alternatively to trying to hold a knife in a moving, resisting body for the several seconds it takes to discharge this thing, you could just... stab a bunch more times.

The water test is a good representation of the way it would impact your body.
You should use your 1000$ crazy knife sharpener vs your 5$ one on that knife might be interesting.
That was sick, I’m curious to see how sharp you can make that knife 🤭
Keep in mind that the Co2 is freezing cold when it comes out. Like literally will turn your skin frosty.
Tylers imagination is endless
The creator Greg R. made his own prototype and it was the ONLY THING that he was able to dispatch large snapping turtles in an area that they were deemed overpopulated in a job he had been in charge of as a professional scuba diver.
There are also ice pick styles that activate via when the pick is pushed backwards into the animal, shark, etc.
I slowed playback speed to 25% and watched the gel block portion. You can clearly see that most of the CO2 comes back out of the wound channel. The gel block looks really firm. There’s actually a cloud of gas that pops back out towards your hand. Very little of it creates a penetration of the gel. You probably don’t feel it come back out because of the hilt. Thinking the watermelon test is more indicative of what happens defending against a 2 legged ‘shark’. 😂🤣😂
Those aren't for self defense against humans. They're for sharks. The gas is supposed to make the shark float, rendering it harmless. Not like explode animals insides

Briliant, a knife for killing plastic bottles. Must have!😂
The is test would have been better if you didn’t wiggle it when you put it in because then the air would not be able to escape and it would have been locked in. Great vid though love your content
Weird to think it’s used for sharks. Can you imagine how hard you’d have to swing your arm to hit a shark UNDER WATER? It’s not only a shark, but the knife is thick, the button for co2 can be hard to maintain grip with a swimming shark, and it’s pointless after one use. Great product 😂
The gas is escaping back towards the handle of the knife, so you are not getting the full potential of the gas pressure when used in the b allistics gel, but you get a much better, and more realistic result in the water, which would be much closer to the internals of an animal.
for the fruit you really need to seal up the opening around the knife.. maybe hot glue, putty, caulk, some kinda sealant. Then maybe you’ll get exploding fruit. The release just ins’t explosive enough for what you’re imagining. maybe cutting off the escape route for the gas will help with the carnage lol.
Honestly, with it being essentially a devoted shark knife, I think that the manufacture is hedging its bets on the fact that there aren’t going to be many people with the time, money, and opportunity to put this product to the test, and even fewer that will survive to report a bad design (if it is such).
It doesn’t make for a good general purpose knife, comes with a large price tag (and it should come with a good sharp blade at this price point), has an ultra niche purpose, and using it in self defense would give prosecutors a field day (they’ll claim possession for criminal intent because you used an expensive, purpose built tool outside of its intended purpose/environment. You may or may not be guilty of that, but you’ll definitely end up with some expensive legal fees proving it.) on top of that, you exposed a gas leak in less than 1 meter of water. The CO2 cartridge may have been seated improperly, but it’s still disappointing. $200 air soft guns have much better seals and are more complex in their design. At $600, it should be designed to be “dummy proof” (ie should be designed so that it can’t be locked in at all if not seated properly).
I’m not sure about the physiology of sharks, so rapidly injecting them with CO2 may be an effective defense, but I think the main function of this knife is separating money from peoples wallets.
A Soda Stream for real Mens 💪🏻
Also: what would happen with a pepper gun refill tank 🤔
"Give me a second, I gotta reload my knife!"
"Switching to your secondary knife is always faster than reloading"
The expanding CO2 also freezes the wound in the shark, preventing the blood from spilling into the water and attracting other sharks when you stab it, and fills the body with a gas bubble making it float to the surface.
My biggest concern is how long will the knife hold pressure? The leaking gasses may be from seal damage from the gel test or it may be from a design fault. Years ago I got a CO2 pistol that slowly leaked its gas and was useless in a short period of time. A survival knife should be ready to use anytime. Now if the knife held a significant amount of gas for the duration of a dive then a small leak could be overlooked. However if you need to put a new cylinder in to defend with it, it wouldn't be a good tool. They had sticks designed to do this years ago. The CO2 cylinder was pierced at the time of impact and the gas passed thru a heavy duty needle into the shark thus disabling it with little effort. A knife wouldn't be as good of an option as it has the potential to cause more blood in the water that would attract more sharks. This is a very expensive gadget that I wouldn't trust my survival on.
If I'm not mistaken, the expanding CO2 gas will also cause surrounding flesh to freeze, as an expanding gas cools. Did you not test for the cooling result at all??????? Was the watermelon frozen at all?????
