I found ways others are using them as lures. They use the knife handles but i also have ideas on things to do with the blades.

you would think someone could challenge it as not being novel

[ruthven78]

ya know, one thing I didnt notice was that it says "with improved tail", so I could basically make them as long as it didnt have the improved tail....hell I could put a decorated tail like with hair or feathers and patent it.....
