The knives are designed after a russian knife design which can launch a knife blade on a wire (although lacking in the ability to retract the blade). Furthermore, I belive you severly overestimate the thickness of piano wire. At its thinessest it can be as little as .006 in. in diameter or be up to .035 in. in diameter and still have 20ft of wire weigh less than an ounce.
