And seriously, I would love to know if these "blades" are legally considered as such. How would I go about checking? I've got a feeling any cop or law official I asked would be rather biased about it. I'd love an unbiased opinion some how.
Edit: Even if it is legal, it would still be classified as a concealed weapon, but I'd have no problem with that, as when I turn 21, I'm getting my concealed carry license anyway. "So get a bleedin' pistol!" C'mon. Swords are just so much classier! 
Edit 2: The legal blade length in TEXAS is 5.5". It's quite a bit shorter in most other states. On the bright side of this, I can legally carry my Itallian stiletto (non automatic)! http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1.../IMG000117.jpg |
Be careful with that blade ... looks to me like that is simply a deactivated switchblade, which is still considered a switchblade under Texas case law (see the link above).
And honestly, stilettos are horrible carry knives. Look into something more modern.
