You can't puree without a blender - those little rotating blades could be turned into a weapon!

They'll just have to cook everything into undistinguishable mush.

I just learned something - the sgian dubh is a cute little thing.

Yup. And asymmetric so it fits along the leg.

After they take everyone's knives, something else will replace knives's role in crimes. Whatever it is, a billy or bat or whatever, police will then be able to point to it as a factor too. Out it will have to go. And on and on.

Yes, without a blade. Just one solid piece.

We sell a lot of them to folks who travel by air without a change of clothes and also to parents of youths for whom they are buying a complete outfit but don't want junior to have a knife.

They look just the same as the real thing when being worn in the sock.

[R. Scott]

It would add authenticity to the kilt – and a lot less hassle when flying.

"They'll just have to cook everything into undistinguishable mush."

Don't the English already have a patent on that?

Called the safety sgain as I recall. Don’t have one in my collection as like functional stuff. :-)
