It’s interesting you are saying it’s 6" like that’s not a bad thing when the law in the UK is no longer than 3".
I guess if it is plastic the sentence seems a bit harsh, but you would also get in trouble for a plastic replica gun that looked realistic. Seems like he has plenty of priors which is probably more the issue.
All in all, not oniony.
EDIT: It doesn’t seem plastic
Important to note that this wasn’t just a prop. The blade was sharp.
Nobody said it is, but stopping people walking down the street with literal swords is probably helping.
