# Fishy Weaponry The Shark Knife is a Danger to Everyone By Robyn Currie | Published 2010-01-04 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shark-knife References: [theworldsbestever](http://www.theworldsbestever.com/2009/12/31/weapon-of-the-year/) & [iheartchaos](http://www.iheartchaos.com/content/airport-security-can-pry-my-overly-complicated-shark-dagger-out-my-cold-dead-hands-pic) Happy New Year. In honor of this new decade some genius out there went ahead and bent all the rules of logic and reason. The result? The shark knife. It is more like a Mortal Kombat-style weapon, the kind that you have to know the special codes in order to activate it. Oh, and I wouldn't be surprised if the person who wields the shark knife ends up being as injured as the person they were intending to take down. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Mortal Kombat-style Weapons:** The development of Mortal Kombat-style weapons opens up opportunities for innovative self-defense tools or recreational experiences. - **Rule-breaking Design:** The trend of bending rules of logic and reason in product design offers disruptive innovation potentials in various industries. - **Special Activation Codes:** The use of special activation codes in weaponry can inspire new ways of enhancing security and safety measures. ### Where This Applies - **Self-defense:** The self-defense industry can explore the potential of developing innovative weapons inspired by Mortal Kombat-style designs. - **Product Design:** The product design industry can leverage rule-breaking design aesthetics to create unique and attention-grabbing consumer products. - **Security:** The security industry can embrace the concept of special activation codes to enhance access control systems or weapon technologies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic Movement Pocket Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craighill-sidewinder-knife.md) - [Sensibly Sharp Elevated Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-task-knife.md) - [Shark-Inspired Anniversary Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/street-sharks.md) - [Science Fiction-Inspired Pocket Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crkt-minimalist-cthulhu-knife.md) - [Vibrating Chef Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seattle-ultrasonics.md) - [Collectible EDC Christmas Ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-james-brand-throwflake.md) - [Miniature EDC Sword Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/micro-katana.md) - [Ultrasonic Technology Kitchen Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultrasonic-kitchen-knife.md) - [Foldout Kinetic Pocket Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craighill-sidewinder.md)
