Pipe knife? Is that what is also known as a Gupti, TenX? Built inside a GI pipe? Local ironsmiths in my area make such knives which are rather big to be called knives (15 inches or so). Cheap but very sharp!

Yes Yash.. very close to what you mentioned. Will post pics by end of the day...

This is the 'knife' I picked up

Its pretty sharp, but the inside finish is not something to talk about. Cant vouch for the material of the blade, although the guy did say he made it with vehicle suspension blades.
He quoted 200, and I quoted 100, and after some hesitation, he agreed! It may be bargained for a little less, but what the heck

Its pretty handy and feels tough ... something nice to keep below your car seat

Sword sticks/ guptis are illegal to carry Anand. Avoid carrying one.

Hmm... I guessed so ...
But against other bigger evil like a highway mug-in-progress, would it still be criminal to brandish one to make a safe getaway?

Nice letter opener Anand. Letter openers aren't illegal, are they ?

How long is the blade ? and how long is it overall ?

Frankly a 2 1/2 to 3 foot section of pipe would be a better self defense than a gupti

Know what.. I actually have a security baton in my car, presented by another shooting fraternity member, which I have right by the driver's side... made of tough fiber, and real strong

This has always been part of my car kit for the last three years or so
