Geez, can't the cops afford a real ruler?

Tip to tip that knife looks closer to 10 inches than 9.

I disagree, if you rotate the knife it would go off the end of that "ruler"

Nevermind, I actually rotated it and it doesn't appear to be as long as I thought.

The jogger that got hit was jogging on the wrong side of the road. By the way, I've seen a LOT of Hood to coast joggers running on the wrong side of the road, also.

The knife looks useless in a scrap. Unless, you might enjoy cutting your own self while fighting people with it....
