Judging from the prices on what they offer I wouldn't really buy anything from them aside as a joke item. I always wanted to be wolverine, lol!

Looks like the blades are too long to legally wear it in public.

I don't know about it being a "legal" weapon, but it looks like a good way to break your wrist (if you're wearing the thing) in a really good fight.

Illegal by virtue of blade length alone (ad states 11-1/2").

I can't tell from the pic. if it is "double edged" but that would be illegal as well.


Perfect for making "julienned fries" though.

That looks more like blades the image comic character ShadowHawk would have

It's not a knife, thus doesn't meet the definition of an "illegal knife".

Keep on reading:

As nuparadigm said, I'd worry about my wrists. Plus, any cop seeing that would find some excuse to haul you off to the station, and I suspect any jury would look on that with extreme disfavor.
