For the uninitiated it's literally made of paper.
13 0 ReplyThe 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?
14 0 ReplyEnough 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.

If this plastic fiddle-toy dingus is a "concern," these people are going to shit absolute brick if they see what I've got in my desk drawer.
Seriously, the hand-wringing over something like this is just sheer whacking off by people whose lives are so cushy they don't actually have anything legitimate to complain about.

There are other versions with no pins required. But I found the pin ones hold up better in pla.

Lmao I’ve only seen this toy in Korean memes where people print them super sized and instead of the blade it has a phone holder. I had no idea it was supposed to be a knife blade.
That is to say, the Korean youth already has the ridicule of this story covered.
