Yep, CF for sure.

Its cuts! No doubt about it and is usually used for nasty defensive, stabby things for military purposes.

Not much lateral strength, but thats not what its designed around... :shock:

Can be taken through metal detectors at airports.
Israelis and Yanks been using them for yonks.
Get caught with one of them in a high security area and it would be pointless arguing that you use it to peel your lunchtime fruit.
Wounds if not fatal later on become so as sharp carbon bits float round in your body.
Very nasty. Not cool.
