Where did the bayonet originate?
I would guess that it orignated in the revolutionary war, though it might be able to be traced back to England or France too, considering the fact that it sounds foreign. The bayonet is most likely named after the city of Bayonne in France where it may have originated, as this city specialized in knives. European armies definitely used them before the Revolutionary War, maybe 1740's or earlier.

What is a Kullenschliff knife?
Kullenschliff knives have a series of alternating scallops ground into both sides of the blade. These tiny grooves reduce drag on the knife, resulting in a paper-thin and incredibly smooth cut. The tiny grooves also allow food to slide off the knife without sticking. Kullenschliff knives are sometimes referred to as hollow edge or granton edge knives. Granton edges have semi-circular scallops ground into the edge that alternate on either side of the knife and extend from the edge to the middle of the blade. This edge was designed and patented in 1928 by Granton Ragg Ltd. kullenschliff (kulle is Swedish for hill; schliff means sharpened in German), has oval scallops (kullar) hollowed-out of one or both sides of the blade above the edge. The design of scallop-sided blades is an attempt to ease the cutting and separation of meats, cheese, and vegetables.
How does a switchblade knife work?
A real switchblade knife uses a spring loaded blade hidden inside the hollow handle and a release lever. When the release lever (i.e. switch) is flipped the spring rapidly forces the blade from the hollow handle into position for use and the blade latches on a catch that is part of the release lever. To put the blade back in the hollow handle the release lever is moved to unlatch the catch and the tip of the blade is pressed against a hard surface to compress the spring again. The image shows one of these switchblade knives with the release lever clearly visible.

According to Jacava.com, cuticle nippers are an essential item for any nail therapist
This is quite correct. Cuticle nippers are used in preparation for any nail treatment. Usually used after the cuticle has been pushed back during a manicure.
Professional nail technicians use what's known as cuticle pushers to 'roll back' the cuticle. It is at this stage that we can actually cut off the excess cuticle using the nippers.
How long does HIV lives in a knife?
HIV is a living cell. That means it will require certain conditions for it to survive. In short, as soon the blood dries up, it will also die because it will have no source of life or the condition to support its living.
It depends on the size and location of the wound. If you nicked yourself shaving, you will probably only need to clean it. If it won't stop bleeding apply pressure. Just use water to clean the wound. If you have a serious cut you need to immediately apply pressure, clean, bandage and/or if it is bad enough, go to the hospital or call an ambulance. If it is severing a artery or vein, is close or penetrating a vital organ, or won't stop bleeding call an ambulance immediately and apply first aid as needed. If you have a minor cut just apply pressure to stop bleeding, clean, and bandage. Just make sure to periodically air the wound out. I recommend you take first aid classes for in depth training.
The Gamma Knife is form of stereotactic radiosurgery used to treat brain disorder such as brain tumor and vascular malformations, without the need for open surgery. Although it was named Gamma Knife, it uses gamma rays instead of surgical knife.
The Gamma Knife is the "Gold standard of radiosurgery. Computer planned finely collimated gamma-rays are precisely onto and intracranial target to ablate it, without the need for open surgery. It can also be an alternative or adjunct to conventional open surgery.
The Gamma Knife is a treatment unit designed to deliver a highly conformal dose of radiation thearpy to intracranial sites using 201 convergent beams emanating from cobalt-60 radiations sources. The Gamma Knife was invented by Prof. Leksell and Larson and the first clinical work was done in 1967 at the karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. Since that times, tens of thousands of patients have treated with Gamma Knife radiosurgery and significant research has been done on the safe and effective application of stereotactic radiosugery for the treatment of several intracranial conditions

Are ballistic knives legal in Russia?
Basically, not in the USA or UK! It is probably the same for just about everywhere else.
On a federal level it is certainly the intention that they should be illegal. It is not legal to transport them across any state lines but as I understand it the actual legality will depend upon the state and even the city that you are in. This is how the law according to the original federal prohibition on ballistic knives lay anyway. It is possible there have been changes made to that law to actually outright outlaw them but I have not found any mention of it if that is so.
They will have differing levels of legality depending upon what you wish to do with them. If a state specifically states that concealed carry is prohibited then by implication it is arguable that open carry is not prohibited. This would also mean that possession in the home would not be a problem. A number of states have apparently just covered them by the same legislation they have regarding flick knives, which are largely illegal themselves.
Of course possession in the commission of an offence is a mandatory 5 year term I believe.
A big problem for anyone wishing to add such an item to their collection is that sale and manufacture appear to have stricter prohibitions than mere possession so it would probably only be ok if you already owned the knife. The essential thing is to check the laws of every state and as there are fifty states and many ways of interpreting statutes this would take an exceptionally long amount of time. In addition to the statutory prohibitions it would also be very important to look at any legal precedents set in the courts.
In Florida it was possible to manufacture and sell flick knives up till 2006 before a precedent was set on appeal in a court case when the defendants left the state after their initial success in their first trial. I am not sure but it may have been the case that ballistics were only fully prohibited during that case as well.
There are certainly a number of states or cities within states that I would contemplate the possibility of possessing such a thing on private property as not likely to attract prosecution as long as there is a legitimate reason for possession. However I would imagine that it would be extremely difficult to obtain or manufacture one legally.
One thing to very strongly keep in mind is that even if a thing is technically legal according to statute it is very possible that a judge will interpret statute differently to whomever is advising you and set a definite precedent in any case brought against you that will establish the illegality of possession even where it was not technically illegal before. There may be very different answers over the legality of an item depending upon whether you enquire from the police, a lawyer, a legislator, or a judge.
