Apple Knives? - ztirffritz - 06-10-2015
OK, not exactly Apple knives, but they're made by Liquid Metal Technology for Miltner Adams. Liquid Metal Technology is in a partnership, Crucible IP, with Apple to develop Liquid Metal alloys for consumer electronic applications. The knife looks like some kind of Klingon weapon to me.

overengineered and solving a problem that doesn't exist.

Cool. A $260 key ring. I wonder what the actual knife guys think of a blade made of liquid metal (but I don't wonder quite enough to look for myself).

Yeah...that's really great, but I'm saving up for the Star Trek spork.

overengineered
Probably, but still kind of slick. I like it.
solving a problem that doesn't exist.
It's another answer to that problem. Who says there can be only one.
Solving a problem other knives have already solved would be more accurate. No reason there shouldn't be alternatives.
I like the minimalistic, skeletal design, and most especially the tanto blade. Except for that, it reminds me of the various Spyderco knives, only actually nice looking. Spyderco has a spotty history of quality
The MA-6 is a lot of money for my tastes.
I'm still looking for my perfect pocket knife.
