Abstract
Bladed devices that can be used for training, warning, or defense. Conductive elements are separated from the conductive blade, which can have sharp or dull edges, by an insulating material. When triggered the device can produce that can produce arcing or sparking between the conductive elements and the blade giving the device an intimidating appearance. When an opponent is near or contacts the blade, the device can shock or stun the opponent. The spark that they can be discharged when activated by the user and/or another event, such as contact with a person. The device can have any configuration, such as a knife, folding knife, dagger, sword, axe, arrow, spear, hatchet, and machete. A sheath can be used to protect sharp edges of the blade while still producing the desired electrical effects.
