<a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... ns.html">A new type of knife that freezes victims organs is now in the UK</a>. And the knifes <a href="http://www.waspknife.com/">website</a>.

I looked on their website but could not find charges for a refill on the gas cartridge. However given the cost of this knife it would be reasonable to suspect they are quite expensive, I wouldn't be surprised if it was 10 to 20 dollars for a single use cartridge. Meanwhile in America a box of 50 bullets is only $2.50. Clearly American criminals can operate their business very cheaply compared to UK criminals. You just can't afford to kill a guy when it's $20 a pop ya know. Now as an American I like to hear that type of news, it's nice to know there's at least one US industry that can compete favorable against foreign competition.

The UK users of the org may want to consider this carefully though. You have entertaining criminals like Guy Fawkes who are grand and noble and dared to dream big things. America has Charles Manson. Clearly Americans are a lower class of criminal than brits. Now as dashing as Guy Fawkes was keep in mind he failed. Manson didn't. Americans have an innate superiority in their ability at illegal actions. Besides how could England's criminals compete when it's a knife with one shot vs an American with more ammo in his car than was used during the entire US Revolutionary War. You guys would get your ever loving ass kicked by the yanks. Again. What you limeys have got to ask yourself is, do you want to lose your fine home grown criminal element in place of US thugs? Clearly the only sane response is no, you'd want to keep your own criminals and continue electing them to Parliament as usual. I mean honestly, Ted Kaczynski in the House of Commons? Sure the news would be amusing for a few days but after awhile it'd just get to be a tired old pathetic joke. Kinda like the AMV Hell series.

So I propose that the UK put a subsidy on the exploding gas knife industry. Any criminal who purchases one should get an automatic rebate from the government that is enough to cover at least 50 gas cartridges. This might seem excessive and expensive to some but really, it's a small price to pay to not watch your tradition of the football hooligans lifestyle replaced by some yank blasting rap and ranting about how George Bush hates black people.

I'm holding out for the knife that catches people on fire as you stab them.

It seems to me small time thug isn't going to buy a knife for £200 when they can get a gun for five times less and If you are a criminal who could afford one you would probably invest instead in a gun. So I assume they are talking about kids getting hold of the knife and how that would happen I don't know but if your a kid mugging some one with a knife that cost you £200 you have your priority's messed up.

So a expensive knife or a gun I know who I would rather be in this picture even if the other guy did have knife that could freeze my organs

You can always just stab them then grab a can of gasoline and a pack of matches while they are dying on the ground. Not as cool, but hey, it works.

You, sir, lack any sense of elegance.

Yeesh, Britain. First you ban all the guns, so kids start stabbing each other with knives. Now they want to take away the knives, so...people will have to kill each other with cricket bats, or something. You aren't gonna stop people from killing people, you at best are going to make it take a bit longer and give the person a better cardiovascular workout while they do it. :O

I'm curious as to what a actual stabbing incident with this type of knife would look like. As it doesn't strike me as an instant kill if not stabbed in the heart or neck. Not all that slow either considering it flashfreezes tissue and blood.. Seriously I kind of want to see a wound from one of those things now. This is taking poisoned blades to a whole new level. I'm intrigued.
