Seems like the law was meant to exclude the full-size Swiss army knife. They're great for most pocket knife purposes! But having damaged nerves on two fingertips from non-locking knives, yeah, I won't touch one. Although the "classic" is a great everyday pocket knife!

Funny enough, I was hiking today with a small "Rambo knife affixed to my backpack strap. Do I need that on a hike in the woods? LOL, hardly ever. But it's nice to have when I do need it.

Thanks for saying all that! We're clearly on the same page.
