Improvised "chainsaw" made from steak knifes

Someone suggested I try to find ways to weaponize household items. So I looked around, and found the knifes in the kitchen drawers.

While it is too obvious to attach a steak knife to a broom handle, I thought that maybe I can use a few of them to make a fearsome cross between a lawn trimmer and a chainsaw...

Bought a cheapo (30 bucks) battery powered drill on amazon, plus the steak knifes (one Euro a pop). Attached them to a round wood disk, then found the best transmission (1:2).

I will now experiment with the angles of the knifes, slant them back a bit so they slice rather than poke. And maybe I can find a faster drill. But this looks (and feels) amazing!

Joerg, if your genius mind were ever applied to anything practical you would be a seriously dangerous man! It is a good thing that you are on our side.

That is just crazy!

Watching the blades flex in slow motion gave me the willies, though. Kids, don't try this at home.

thank you... this just became my most FABULOUS new pro-2A argument: "see what happens when guns are over-regulated? THIS!"
If you get to the US, look up a guy by the name of Tim Allen... oddly enough, he's even played a character named "Buzz". :)

edited to say: this post needs MORE POWER! GRUNTGRUNTGRUNT!

Gyah, that thing is scary. Reminds me of the Auto-Axe from Fallout 3! I want one now.

I bet you could improve it via cheap gas-powered weed whacker and some bigger kitchen knives.
