US Customs and Border Protection Proposes Knife Import Ban

This knife is a switchblade apparently...

Customs and Border Protection has moved to ban import of all knives with springs, or knives that can be opened with one hand. This is ridiculous, as these are no more dangerous than any other knife. All it will do is make these knives more expensive, and hurt knife manufacturers, which will destroy jobs (because jobs are all that matter these days, I had to work that in somehow). I’ve handled quite a few knives that have assisted opening, and I find them much easier to handle than knives that have no assist. Get ready to see new US knife sales hit an all time low as the better knives are traded underground. Just my 2 cents.
