irresponsible or just bad marketing?
I'd have to say that I agree with WM to a point on this one, and not because of the threat posed to airliners (I think TR is right on in his assessment of the fate awaiting any knife-wielding would-be hijackers). It's sort of irresponsible to basically put this out there so that every idiot who wants to stab a someone in a courtroom or some similar setting now has the ability to do so. I'm not sure if this is just poor marketing (like Intratec's claim that their TEC DC9 had a "fingerprint-resistant finish") or if it's really just irresponsible to sell the product.
Not illegal, but maybe not the most socially-responsible course of action. All it will take is one killing with one of these knives in a "secure" environment and the witchhunt against the knife industry will begin, similar with what happened with so-called "assault rifles" in the 90's.
