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

but thats to follow i think

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.

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

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

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