Carrot Knife (당근칼)

"Dang-geun-kal" (pronounced roughly as "dahng-guhn-kahl")

The Carrot Knife began to gain popularity among elementary school students around October 2023.

The Carrot Knife is a toy version of a gravity-assisted folding knife, functioning as a fidget toy that can be opened and closed. It earned the name 'Carrot Knife' because its orange blade resembles a carrot. Various forms exist, including karambit and balisong styles. Made from blunt plastic, it is a safe toy with no sharp edges or cutting function whatsoever.

It was primarily popular among elementary school students and also gained traction among middle school students.
