It is an interesting looking knife. I don't see that I would have much use for something like that either. Mainly due to the fact that in Ohio I don't think you are allowed to carry a knife with the "intent" to use it as a weapon. Ohio knife laws are really stupid and vague though. The law basically says if you are carrying a knife with the intent to use it as a weapon that is illegal. How they determine intent I'm not really sure...

I will check out the book series though for sure.
