Ballistic Knife

For those who do not know, a ballistic knife is a knife that gets expelled from a barrel. Similar to how a bullet is expelled from a gun barrel, except instead of an explosive force driving the knife, a high power spring forces the knife out. BEFORE CONTINUING!! this is very dangerous! In one of my pictures below, i actually use a drumstick instead of a knife because I would not like a knife sneaking up into my chin.. That being said, this Instructable id for educational purposes ONLY! I will not take responsibility for what you do with this information.. Lets GO!!

Step 1: You will Need...

One crutch (like when you have a broken leg) i used my sisters so it was free but you can get one a t salvation army for like 10 or less.

high powered spring-mine was 3.50 from http://www.mcmaster.com. Make sure that the spring is slightly smaller than the crutch so that it can go inside, but you still get maximum power.

Knife (or drumstick if you want to play it safe).. i got mine from china town for 10.

NOTE- in the picture im using a wimpy spring from an old airsoft gun.. didnt get too much distance but the spring i ordered from the link above works beautifully.

hey i have the same blade. and there is no such thing as a katana dagger. and even if there was that in no way resembles a katana

[Air_Assassin]

It looks like a good gun for hunting

[commanderzhao]

that looks like a katana dagger

[naruto the ninja13]

nice switchblade

[hottamaleindustries]

That's not a switchblade, it's a stiletto. On the pictures with the knife in it there is not a blade release that switchblades have.

arent those illegal?

[backyardpyro217]

yeah but the law says nothing about making your own, i just need to find one that is actually good quality

[nightninja87]

reminds me a little like the blind swordsman but a little more modern a handicap man gets mugged all of a sudden boom hes running after the guy knife on the end of his crutch dun dun dun the handicap swordsman! sorry i thought it was a great idea and if i ever find a crutch im gonna make this thanks for the ible

[nutsandbolts_64]

 It would be nice if you had a trigger of some sort there. 

[bowmaster]

how does the trigger work?

[imakeknives]

because u r using the whole crutch instead of cutting it down, this is more like a ballistic lance than a knife. but its a cool idea though.
