      The article says

      The plastic knife toy, which is shaped like a carrot, is made of fluorescent materials and available in different colours.

      Is there more to it than that?

        Well, that makes them like the edge of a freezie pop. Those are dangerous.

        I don’t think plastic would cut so well as it does in the article’s video, but maybe it’s not the only schematic.

        Looks like the toy is plastic, but you can print and make ones out of paper (or cardstock?)

        Seems about as violent as foam noodle swords?

        Ah your right I didn’t have audio at the time I first watched the video.

      Enough paper cuts and a human can bleed out. They have a right to be concerned. Should go back to hitting each other with sticks and rocks they find outside like I used to do as a kid.

        I fondly remember chanting “Sticks and stones may break my bones but paper will slit your fucking jugular.”
