Here in Oklahoma double-edged knives also illegal

I dont think i'd carry one around in public. But i wouldn't mind one for decoration.

Being different is fine, but isn't this taking it a bit too extreme?

That so adorable, and it's fun to see how they can laugh about stereotypes and use them to their advantage.

I know right! Frankly, I find this kind of parody much more pleasant than Gangam style (which is starting to be incredibly annoying these days...) Oh well, I'm a hopeless pacifist so songs like these make me smile straightaway. And about the bagel people: it's so funny how the stereotypes about Japan are about a society that pushes people to be ordinary however at the same time everybody's like wtf japan... I mean, look at the awesome street fashion!! A country of contradictions after all.

i think it is anything longer than 4 inches is considered illegal. so you have to be careful. some of my girlfirends carry some pretty serious pocketknives and you are stopped it will be confiscated and u might go to jail, if not more depending on the situation u are in. i myself dont have anything. it is generally pretty safe where i am but i dont walk alone at night. to dark and there are a bunch of tweakers out.

My friends Dad has a Japanese samurai sword hanging above a door frame from when he was in Japan and he hasn't been told off for it, I think as long as you don't reveal it in public or anything stupid you're fine, also at mcm expo they sell proper samurai swords and metal replica of game swords. So I think it's just in public.
