How do you cut meat?Are allowed fixed blades??? Crazy! Original SAKs are OHO??? It is very difficult for me!!!
This sounds more like a ridiculous drinking game than sane law making. Do you gave any interest groups, like the aforementioned hunter's association working for a saner situation, or do the usual nanny state interests have the debate, if any, to themselves?
And how about a SAK like this: No locking + rounded blade tip.Impossible to stab anybody!!! (Image removed from quote.)
Firstly thank you for bringing this to our attention It must be immensely frustrating for anyone in retail, or anyone who uses a bladed item outside the realms of home cooking. We as enthusiasts are a little biased on the whole as to what we think people should be able to own, use and carry. Without getting into sociopolitical rhetoric, this is an appauling situation primarily due to the lack of clarity. You cannot abide by, appeal against, or draw concessions against a law when nobody knows what that law does and doesn't cover.I hope for the nation's sake the whole affair is reviewed and resolved soon for the retailers (and other related employment), and the general public as a whole.
If you are going to stab someone there are plenty of items capable of doing the job. Are screwdrivers illegal to carry as well
Freaver, isn't the Suspension actually designed to be OHO?
I fully appreciate what you are saying there, and I hope you all get a speedy and balanced resolution to the matter

The Captain beat me to it - when making restrictions, it takes no time; when losing restrictions, it takes ages. I just hope we'll know more by the end of the month.
I kind of have to wonder... is there any REASON for this restriction?
That is just insane and honestly cannot comment without going political and losing my cool so I will not say much besides it is completely ridiculous.

YES!As Capt already indicated:Quote from: captain spaulding on May 19, 2015, 08:27:33 PMThat is just insane and honestly cannot comment without going political and losing my cool so I will not say much besides it is completely ridiculous.Communism spreads through variety of methods/movements throughout Europe.
I kind of have to wonder... is there any REASON for this restriction? Like, did some nutjob go on a rampage and kill a busload of orphans or something? Or is there a 'Mothers against anything with an edge' coalition group whipping up hysteria?
The fact that some cop has practiced and practiced to be able to OHO a 91mm SAK should NOT make someone consider a knife OHO. There's a woman who shoots archery with her feet. That doesn't make bows a weapon that any sane person would consider foot operated.
Sounds exactly like what is happening in USA to restrict fire arms ownership.My suggestion is like what NRA calls gun owners to do: STAND AND FIGHT!
What happens if you only have one working hand? For example someone with a deformity or amputation? So then because of your disability you become even more limited by not being able to carry a tool as it is illegal....stupid laws stupid lawmakers.
