Are they crazy?

I'm beginning to think so.

Never mind

looks like a move against "assisted opening" knives, not all knives.

but thats to follow i think :nope:

personally i think assisted opening knives are great!

Is this a joke?

This is what you get when people are made to believe that "100% security" is achievable in real life. Paranoia at all levels.
Man, after banning knifes what else ? Screwdrivers ? Hammers ?
How about banning all the "idiots" in governments, those that come up with these kafkian proposals/laws ? Now that would be a real change. :woot:

If I can't own a sword then **** this worthless country. :yep:

:har:

Rats, I guess I should not be waiting for an AO karambit coming on the market soon. :(

Looks like the american knife industry is trying to raise a little capitol. :yep:

I own a replica bat'leth.

Replica swords and knives are perfectly legal to collect here, as far as I know.


Now, if they were to fall repeatedly upon a sharpening block, thats not my fault :shucks:

Are you saying Mr. Obama and his HSD will do the same for knives as it has done for firearms?

No you read way to much into my statement.

I simply meant that those web sites are trying to make some money. Simple as that.

I dont believe for a minute that pocket knifes will be banned.

What about my Ka-Bar?

I don't believe that either. Not in general, I mean. Certain types, maybe. In Germany, spring knifes in general, pocket knifes with arresting blades beyond a certain length, and butterfly knifes are banned. I have no problem with that.

I have a Victorinox Swiss Champion attached to my belt, always, since over 20 years. It's my longest-lasting trustworthy companion. The Swiss officer knifes are an institution, i think. I was offered Leathermans twice, but found them too big a kit as if you would always have them with you.

What would a man be without his Swiss pocket knife? :DL

Nothing beats a little FREAKING OUT over nothing.
