If even a dull blade has a point it could still be an effective weapon. I'm not saying all knives are bad or anything like that, in fact I have been carrying a sarge knife from himalayan imports for the past week and have found it to be very useful. But if you are going to carry a blade I feel it should be the real deal. If you are going to a place that wouild not let the blade in then don't wear one, or leave it at the door.
