Honestly, it being a fidget toy is probably a good reason, if it was anybody else carrying it.

It's an actual sharpened metal replica type of collectable, also in England people using ''but it's just a novelty knife'' as a defense has a long history at this point. It really wouldn't be safe to use as a fidget item, and it's not at all sold, or made as a fidget toy.
