Circulating around the Internet as of late have been a number of pictures and videos of people using their MacBooks for odd things. This Japanese video shows Apple’s popular laptop being used to cut through, guess what, an apple.
According to the MSNBC blog Gadgetbox, Macbooks have also been used to cut onions, carrots, and bacon. It’s a cool fact, but I think I’ll still stick with my usual set of kitchen knives. What about you?
Despite the pretty obvious playfulness of the name, there is actually a point to this knife: prevent those spontaneous stabbings we are so often urged to do.
These New Point knives are billed as the kitchen knife that can’t be used as a weapon.
They arrived out of the fear that the UK was going to completely ban pointy knives because of all the knife crime. Knife crime is actually a huge problem in the UK, so this might seem like a good idea over there.
There are a number of problems with this design, however. Firstly, although you can’t fatally stab anyone since the knife doesn’t have a point, it still features an extremely sharp blade stretching the length of the knife. While it might prevent accidental stabbings if it falls off the counter, it will definitely not deter someone with malicious intent.
This is the second post in a series bringing you some bizarre knives we come across in our research.
If you’re looking for a good gag knife, you have a number of great options, including the knife disguised as a key.
However, if you’re looking for something more cringeworthy and confusing, nothing beats the bloody chef’s knife.
This very weird kitchen knife aims to convince people you’re a serial killer who doesn’t wash his or her weapons before slicing bell peppers.
The chef’s knife comes with a fired-on, food safe blood design made to look like it has just plunged through someone’s body. If you have an additional interest in making people believe you are odd, the knife also comes with an evidence tag, so it looks like you just took the knife from a crime scene.
This is the first in a series of occasional posts on very bizarre and strange knives we come across in our research.
If you’re the ultimate fan of the 1975-classic Jaws and have an undying love of knives, we found the item for you: the coveted Shark Knife.
As you can see from the image above, this outrageously impractical knife features an array of razor-sharp edges created in a way that represents the likeness of a fierce shark.
I have no idea where to actually buy it, but if you somehow find a seller and can’t live without this knife, it’ll set you back a few hundred bucks.
The knife seems like more of a hazard to the guy wearing it than anyone else. He’d get a big surprise if he forgets he has it on and puts his arm at his side.
