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!

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.

Just don't have a momentary lapse of memory while wearing it and try to pick your nose!

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
Even though he just busted the spines of the badguys instead of slicing them into salami

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

Keep on reading:
(7) "Knife" means any bladed hand instrument that is
capable of inflicting serious bodily injury or death by cutting or
stabbing a person with the instrument.

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.
