Oh man, poor guy. He was just a nerd that thought a little Zelda toy would be a fun fidgit.

Actual knives are fun fidgets as well until your friend flips out cause you're pickin' at an eye booger with it.

People, specifically people from places where the regime imposes absurd absolutist weapon laws, get fucking weird about a piece of metal primarily used for open boxes, cutting fruit, and cleaning your nails.

There are so many posts from British cops where they'll arrest some hot couch guy weed dealer with a collection of replica swords and act (and sentence) like he was regularly going out and shanking people with them, this country desperately needs justice for sword nerds.
