pretty decent novelty item, garbage comb
these are definitely pretty cheap, but I can't fault them for it, since I don't think anyone is pretending otherwise. (that's kinda why I bought them.) as a comb, it's pretty awful. I tried just to see (I have very long thin hair), but the comb is so short it's basically useless. regardless, I'm not mad about it, I think most people buy these as costume/novelty items so I think the appearance is more relevant than how well it functions as a comb.<br /><br />personally, I bought these to make into a ridiculously cheap prop switchblade, and for that it's worked great. I tore out the comb part, used the box it came in to cut out a switchblade shape, covered it in foil, and super glued it in the comb's place. it opens and closes exactly as it should, and it actually looks a lot more realistic than I thought it would. I'm sure someone with more talent and patience could do something really fantastic with it. as for the spare one I now have, I think my 12 year old cousin would get a kick out of it, so I'm gonna give it to her.
