Equanimous Phil Posted May 7, 2024 Posted May 7, 2024 Quite an easy question, right? It needs some kind of a blade an some sort of handle... This is just so stupid!! Don't get me wrong, multi tools without blades are cool. BUT JUST DON'T CALL IT A "KNIFE", ESPECIALLY NOT "SWISS ARMY KNIFE"! While the one above is just a very small one "Victorinox is working on a pocketknife without blades. The increasing regulation of knives due to the violence in the world has prompted the Swiss company to re-think, CEO Carl Elsener said in an interview. [...] The blade gives rise to a weapon-like image in some markets" (Source) Heard that story on the radio and googled it. Just stupid , and sad
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted May 7, 2024 Posted May 7, 2024 Why not just call it a pocket tool and be done with it.

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted May 8, 2024 Posted May 8, 2024 I had a 45-70 keychain, brass, bullet, expended primer, no powder, a couple holes for the keychain, a lot of dents and scratches from years of use. Went through a lot of airport security until one time in Kyiv. Drat, pigheaded security guy.

I have had nail clippers confiscated from me at a county court house before they would let me in. I could either take them back to my truck or give them to them. Since I was running late I handed them over. Guess I could file through the bars if arrested. LOL TM
Pat Riot Posted May 8, 2024 Posted May 8, 2024 I highly doubt any crime has ever been committed with a Swiss Army Knife. Victorinox’s idea would be like Alfa starter pistols taking the barrels off their pistols to stop crime. Freakin’ Morons. I bet that dipsh…tick Carl Eisner has never even touched a Victorinox knife. Flippin’ Euro-Pansy!
John Kloehr Posted May 8, 2024 Posted May 8, 2024 Knifeless knife does not make sense. I mostly use the scissors on my knifeful Swiss Army Knife so it would be almost as useful to me as a knifeless Swiss Army thingus sans blade. Well, same 2 blades. And I use the small blade more than the big one. 13 hours ago, Pat Riot said: I highly doubt any crime has ever been committed with a Swiss Army Knife. There is a famous lost photograph of OJs bathroom showing a red box consistent with a certain model Swiss Army knife equipped with a serrated blade, said knife consistent with injuries resulting in death of Nicole and Ron. But between the time of taking the picture and actually collecting evidence, a certain lawyer was admitted into OJ's apartment to collect clothes and "personal effects." The box was not collected into evidence. And some months later, a news crew discovered footage of OJ running play-by-play commentary at a game... Cold winter day... OJ wore gloves... Looked like those gloves. They were too tight! Apologies for the derail.
