I mean... a weapon of terror still has to, y'know, kill people... it's not very terrifying if it doesn't.

it's like a balisong: it looks very intimidating when you flourish it, you can of course kill people with it since it is a knife and people generally dislike knives in their lungs, but you're more likely to cut your fingers than anything else.

Fun fact, when I bought my K-bar I was with my grandmother and she asked me why I didnt get a butterfly knife instead. I literally quoted the weapon of terror line, also I pointed out how I have destroyed many pocket knives and its probably better to just get a solid piece of steel.
