>>166976>"it's not full tang so you can cut live wires with it!">barely a centimeter between the pommel and the bladeThe electrician that I am feels insulted. Those powerlines must have been quite low voltage, to the point that simple leather gloves would have been enough, because I can guarantee you, this knife won't protect you from more than you could withstand anyway, so it's useless.
And the blade is so exposed and so close to your hand, if the power was high enough to be dangerous, it would travel from the blade to your hand directly.
Pic related: this is a properly insulated screwdriver for 1000V. Notice how long the plastic casing is. It's not that way just because they could do it, it's that way so that you can use it on powerlines higher than 50V. And even then, it's recommended to wear rubber gloves when using one of those.
It is fucking dangerous and retarded to pretend you can use it to cut it any kind of live wire. This shit will have someone killed someday.
>>166978It does weaken it of course, but it's still tough as hell, you'd have a hard time trying to break it.
