US Customs and Border Protection Proposes Knife Import Ban

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.

British Store Bans Knife Sales, cites Knife Crime as Reason

March 7th, 2009

This is really sad.  Obviously, a knife’s only reason is to kill people.  They might as well just ban them everywhere, or require a license to cook.

EAST Anglia’s largest independent retailer has announced it is withdrawing knives from sale in all its outlets with immediate effect.  The East of England Co-operative Society said it will withdraw knives from sale in its 135 supermarkets and food stores and five petrol forecourt shops.  It hopes the decision will reduce the risk of knives “falling into the wrong hands” in the communities its stores serve.
