Sure, but in the wrong hands, a wine bottle could kill you. Or a pair of safety scissors. Or a piece of rope. Or a pair of bare hands.
Someone who would be willing to knife you with a Swiss Army knife of the type that I carry would probably be far better off going for you with a broken bottle, or a big stick. The blade is about 3cm long.
I'm not having a pop at you, and I'm fairly certain you wouldn't use it for criminal activitiesbut why do you need to carry one?
Also, having a swiss army knife in your pocket is a much more accessible weapon than finding a broken bottle or a big stick.
For the scissors (I love the scissors!), the tweezers, the nail file, the toothpick... The knife is the bit I use the least, in fact.
You have no idea how often the scissors have come in handy. o_0
Sure. But on the other hand, unless you were carrying it with the blade flicked out, it'd be a right faff to get it out spontaneously. You need to get your fingernail into a tiny slot.

Anything can be a weapon and potentially life threatening, so that argument would fail in most people's opinions. Thousands of people are killed each year in auto accidents from drink drivers, but that doesn't mean that all people operating cars are suddenly thrown into jail, that would be assinine.Personally, I think anyone who is found with weapons that could be potentially life threatening, such as guns or knives, should be thrown in prison, no excuses, not that I expect a lot of people to agree with me. I think I could find it acceptable for someone to carry a can of mace on them, although I'm not entirely comfortable with the thought of everyone doing this.
I can see the new fad, "Murder by Corkscrew...News at 11..."Thinking of it I can kill with a waiters corkscrew pretty easily. It has a short hooked blade for cutting the foil on a wine bottle, very nasty if used with a slashing stroke.
In the hands of the Kali-Silat instructor @ UGA? Yes. But I'd find anything with a blade intimidating in his hands. I'd find a silk scarf intimidating in his hands, as I saw him disarm and subdue a man twice his weight and a foot taller in 10 seconds using one while sparring.
On topic: stupid device. I think collapsible spring-steel batons make much better deterrents to most anything. Collapsible spring-steel batons + Kali training = major deterrent.
My knowledge of female Homosapien genitalia anatomy is lacking, but I thought that the hymen would stop the anti-rape device from being inserted if it was present.
Intact hymens may or may not be the case for virgins... but in any case the hymen is not some ultra thick layer of tissue with no opening at all that prevents the use of things like tampons.
I have to admit, in 28 years, I've never once thought "I wish I had my swiss army knife on me". The scissors on mine never cut through anything anyway!

Exactly, and hymens vary in women.
Many women are virgins but do not have an intact hymen due to cycling, horseback riding, gymanstics, or other sports that require a lot of lower-body movement. And of course, tampons can also tear the hymen, along with gynocological visits and other medical procedures. On top of that, some women are born with almost no hymens at all, or just very thin ones.
A hymen thick enough to prevent a tampon or other device from being inserted may require medical care.
As for Swiss Army knives, I love them. They're great for broken nails - much better than chewing those hangnails off! - screwing in loose screws, cutting threads, unlocking pesky bathroom doors that sometimes lock themselves even when no one is in the bathroom, etc.
If I've got this correct, this device when inserted inside the female will hook onto the skin of the penis once penetrated by a rapist.
...what if he sticks it in your ass, though?

Reasoning like that makes me all the more glad I live in the US and can legally own and operate a fire-arms, because THAT makes me feel a whole lot safer than any can of mace.
I know a lot of people said something about the device possibly causing the rapist to become violent to their victim...but I cannot image ANY guy would be able to think about anything else except getting the thing off
What if I am asleep and someone enters my house and tries to rape me? Golden rule... keep the device right next to you. Remember it is very easy to insert, and very quick too.
If you are happy with your laws where you are about 30,000 times more likely to get shot than I am, then I am happy for you.
I see we agree on at least one thing.Hahaha, so true!
