The only thing that I find inconsistant with Tsume's knife is that, in epsiode 1, when Tsume and his gang find the unsconscious Kiba in the tree, he wakes up, kills two members, blah, blah, blah . . . One second, Tsume doesn't have his knife, the next second, BAM! it's there. Did any gang members see him pull it out of his pants pocket, or even wonder WHERE he got the knife from? Because, let's face it, his leather pants are real hip-huggers, so there's NO WAY that the knife could fit in them.
The question is this: Was Tsume's gang stupid enough to not wonder where he got the knife from?

They didn't bother to ask that's for sure,so,maybe they are...OR maybe they wondered but didn't dare ask questions. O.o

Whiskers, it's pretty easy for him to have a small little dagger sheath hanging from his pants or something, you are being far too meticulous.

The question is this: Was Tsume's gang stupid enough to not wonder where he got the knife from? maybe it was one of the knives that turn into combs i mean come on even a wolf has to keep his hair in good condition *this just in* since it is a comb/knife there gonna do a musical of wolf's rain to the theme of westside story and the gang fights tsume already has the tights (yea but really its a good question he could have been hiding it under his sleeve or b/c its not a real knife yea i'll go with there to stupid its an easy answer)

Ok, let's take a look at Tsume and his pretty tight leather suit. There's mno way the knife could fit inside of his sleeves, it's too damn big to fit in there. Same goes for his pants. I mean, does Tsume's pants even HAVE pockets? No. None are ever mentioned, none are ever shown, he doesn't have any.

All right, we get your point, the creators screwed up(or you have no imagination) with the illusion stuff, Tsume's knife is one of many.

I still think you are being, imo, ridiculous about this. There could be a sheath, but hey, since it isn't a REAL knife, he doesnt need a place to get it from. Since all the people in his gang thought he was human, they dont question when he pulls out a knife. Since WE know he's a wolf, we know that. Every show has goofs, but i don't even think this is one of them at all.

If he can make an illusion of a knife, why can't he make an illusion of a motorcycle? Eh....? Eh....? I read in a magazine that Tsume's knife is part of his illusion and represents his claws. what would the illusion of a motorcycle represent then, when they didn't need one for all the time they were definately wolves? also, as for showing interactions with hotdogs and stuff, I think the illusion translated how they carried stuff like hotdogs as a wolf to how a human would do it. it makes a lot of sense, considering it's pretty canonical that Tsume's knife is an illusion that represents his claws. see, if they were carrying things with their mouths in their human illusion and never using their hands it would be pretty conspicuious, so the illusion compensates for that. (whee... I'm back! I finally got a new computer, my last one pretty much died a while ago)

well you see i think a good amount of the illusions are throw me a bone and just deal with this happenin even though it never could...i mean take the ep when hige puts toboe in a headlock...could a wolf really do that? there are many others but sometimes tsume wouldn't have his knife and still use his claw even in the early eps like when he hit the gun out of quents hand...
PS oh a lookin back in the show tsume has a little undershirt on so the leather can't be that tight and with those few buckles i can see the knife hiding in there...uncomfortable yes...possilbe yes

See, the question still is, were they still wolves in the new world(paradise)?
I highly doubt they were wolves, because if they were, then the motorcycle illusion would make no sense. And also the fact the Toboe is carrying an umbrella would also make no sense. And finally, the fact that Hige is carrying a grocery bag would be hard to explain if in fact they were still wolves.
Anyways, welcome back Mugetsu.

I'm just going by a combination of what I've read/heard in the creator interviews plus expanding on what I've seen watching the series. as for the headlock thing, it was a translation of wolfish roughhousing into the human equivalent. while the translations of the illusion weren't always perfect (they did nothing to explain their speed or ability to leap great distances to any human watching) they still did their job - let them pass as humans with little suspicion. if the illusion showed them picking up items with their mouths and grabbing other wolves (also in their human illusion) by the neck people would get suspicious..

So in a sense, a wolf could headlock...lol As for the knife, yeah, too much nitpicking going on. He simply has one. It probably doesn't matter where he got it from to his members, especially when it's pointed at them. Quite often, I'll be sitting with nothing in my hands, nothing at my side, and when my roommates look up, I'll have pulled out a pad and paper without barely moving an inch. They never ask how I did it, or where I got it from. It's just one of those insignificant things that don't matter, nothing will be gained from knowing the answer, so why ask?

There's a spike on the knife under the blade so that part could be there to represent the fangs, then the blade, the claws.
btw.....that pic up there to show how tight Tsume's clothes were didn't work....
