These so-called WASP-knifes inject compressed air into the body the blade just had cut into. Originally, the idea is coming from anti-shark-sticks, and was meant as a tool of defense against attacking dangerous animals close by, namely sharks. It now is on public sale, as far as I know, and gets promoted as a hunting knife and self-defense weapon. Pardon? Anyone iditoic enough trying to chase bears with a knife in his hand should be forbidden to carry a weapon. and for self-defense you do not need this always lethal weapon - a normal knife would do very well. In Germany and Britain it is feared now that these things get shipped over the Atlantic.
I say they should stay were they come from - from the tip of anti-shark stick, long enough that you cannot carry them in your pockets and cannot hide them under your coat. I could imagine that divers would prefer detonating anti-shark-capsules anyway. Underwater it may prove to be difficult to get a knife through a huge shark's thick skin.
This weapon has nothing to look for on the shelves of public shops. I doubt it'S underwater-value. I even cannot see a purpose for them with special commandos and the military.

There should be high-profile operations and high-profile arrests against anybody caught with them."
