    The edge you’re taking about is normal for a decorative blade. It’s not good enough to be a real weapon or tool, but too dangerous to be played around with. The “zombie knives” being used by kids in the UK are real blades. The sites I’ve seen use it as a selling point that they aren’t just for show. They’re sharp enough for a kid to stab another through the chest.

    e: Generally also the build quality of decorative blades is very poor, because they’re for decoration. The blade snapping or coming out of the handle altogether and then flying unexpectedly is often how one becomes injured with them accidentally, trying to make a cool video cutting up cardboard or whatever. They’re not practical for any purpose other than as decor.

      Kids in all countries play with sharp things, and they far and away know well enough to not stab eachother. Kids who are doing that are psychopaths, it’s not an issue with having access to a sharp stick.
