Hi J,
I've heard about the WASP knife before. I believe it was intended as an anti-shark divers knife. The idea was that once you stabbed the shark, by pressing a button on the handle you release a CO2 charge that injects through the blade, causing severe damage to the animal. You'd need a pretty clean stab, and that shark would have to stay awfully still while you press the button... There's some videos floating around in YouTube, I guess I wouldn't want to be stabbed with that thing and injected with CO2, but then again getting stabbed with anything is a bad idea in general.
The WASP costs 500 USd, and other than injecting CO2 its not a particularly good blade from an utility perspective nor is it that good a defensive blade either (other than the shark killing injection concept).
Let me know what you guys think in the comments below, but I think there's lots of better things in which you can spend that kind of money (unless you need to blow up sharks, of course)

That knife idea reminds me of the 'boat killer' 12 gauge slugs. Drilling a hole in the nose of the lead slug, you insert a .22 rimfire short cartridge NOSE 1st into hole, creating an exploding nosed lead slug. Supposedly makes a decent hole in the hull of a soft sided (non steel) watercraft.
The knife idea sounds a lot like they watched Yaphet Kotto blow up in that James Bond movie many years ago. Dunno - maybe
?
