This is why I only give fixed blades to toddlers.

Some of Amazon's listings can be "interesting" :) . I have seen some very creative spellings for the names of Spyderco knives on there.

If you lock the blade open before swallowing does it reduce the choking hazard? :D It will cut any obstruction out of the way while the knife is on its way down to give you an appendectomy from the inside.
Which Knife, A or B? get Both! (and C, D and E) :)

Ken,
You are the brave man, if you bought the knife after so many warnings :) :D
Just do not forget " Discard broken balloons at once"

My top choices Natives5, Calys, C83 Persian

I think I'm okay, Roman. Not even Amazon would mistake me for a small child ;)

BTW - arrived today. While I've managed to not choke on it, it is one truly beautiful and functionally useful knife. So thin it makes my Balance feel fat ;)

Definitely a keeper.

Another, like the Balance, I'd love to see issued in Super Blue.

I just noticed the same warnings on Amazon's listing for the Caly and was about to start a new thread here. Too funny.

And although I didn't read it on the internet I would strongly advise against giving a fully loaded 9mm semi-auto to a child under 3 years old. Although, I am not a lawyer so what do I know?

i guess they really want to get the point across that it is a VERY sharp balloon with marbles in it.

More and more lingerie dealers wholesale sexy lingerie from China instead of Thailand because of cheaper price and better quality. And it is not only opportunity but also challenge to the industry. http://www.dear-lover.com/wholesale-peplum-dress/] wholesale peplum dress [/url] Welcome to find cheap corsets on dear-lover.com and shiyingsexylingerie.com.

The only hazard is the false advertising of a knife being a toy.
