Using a Costume Knife For Trick Or Treating

A costume knife is a pretty cheap prop that will probably not stand up to stage combat (a violent disarm for example). They are nice from a few feet away but aren’t appropriate for that type of use. They might be okay to bring trick or treating in a place/time where it is not suspicious and you are not being a jerk to anyone but they could cause a problem if they look real up close. Unless they are painted day-glow orange or something obviously fake I would avoid carrying anything that looks like a weapon if you want to minimize your chances of getting a police visit in the future bcz even a rubber sword can be mistaken for a real thing.

This poly-foam over the head tunic features the shape of a large knife for an amazing Halloween costume or group costume idea. Add a mask or make your own to complete your look. Also available in a deluxe version for a more detailed over the head piece with zipper closures. One size fits most adults.
