This was given to me by a friend today, who had visited a recent Mardi Gras parade. His girlfriend found it while randomly scavenging around.

It originally had a red rubber band on it, but that ended up cut and lost, hence the regular rubber band to keep it closed. Thankfully it was never used though.

    This is not only an arrowhead, but one with two folding/swinging razor blades as fins.

    Ok but my razor also has two razorblades. That doesn’t make it super dangerous.

    you can’t really find it acceptable for anyone to throw these sort of things at a Mardi Gras parade can you?

    You said it was found on the ground, are you now saying it was seen being thrown at someone?

      I’m saying that it rained yesterday and this thing ain’t got any rust on it, so clearly, however it got there, hadn’t been there long, and was found during a parade.

        Why would it rust?

        These things are used in forests where it rains, and when used they end up in the wet insides of a deer or in the damp wet ground in the forest. They are made from stainless steel, so they arent single-use, and doesn’t rust up and get dull before being used.

        The amazon link, someone else found above, also explicitly say it’s stainless in the title.

        Are you being intentionally obtuse? There’s a big fucking difference between “someone must have dropped it” and “someone threw it at people”.

        If you found a pocket knife, would you be as offended?
