So I guess every folding knife I've ever owned including a box cutter would be illegal? I don't even understand why being able to open a knife one handed is an issue. You are allowed to have a fixed blade so the speed of deployment really doesn't matter if someone is determined to use a knife for harm.
Interesting video anyway.
So only the small jackknives will be allowed? I usually need 3 hands to open one of them with my sausage fingers.
My understanding is that the restrictions only apply to self-opening (open full at the touch of a release mechanism) or assisted-opening knives (they only open part way at the touch of a release mechanism).Quote:

I'm just curious, what would prompt the change? You can't bring knives into prison, yet people still get stabbed all the time. They can't really call it a public safety issue in my opinion.
No - the new definition is broader than that. Anything that can be opened by centrifugal force.Quote:
