Lee asked my same question.. and Edwin gave my same answer.. lol
Yeah, they can no longer claim it to be a Swiss Army ‘Knife’ if they truly do this. Which in my opinion is so stupid. Mine as well ban steak knives, scissor’s, screwdrivers and pens too 🙄🤦🏼♀️
Exactly! A cut from knife would heal better and faster than many of those things. Will they remove the saw tool as well? Will we have hammerless hammers? Will we have cars? Violence is a people problem, not a object problem.
And it works well for a mini tool. With more functions than the old Leatherman. There is one of those in a toolbox somewhere in the shed. They were also Christmas presents for my 2 grown sons.
This is so sad. A Swiss Army knife used to be a staple of boyhood. Not because kids wanted to go around stabbing each other - but because kids enjoyed the utility it provided while exploring nature.
Exploring nature is what boys were born to do.
I look forward to the day when governmental agencies topple, and common sense returns.
"The CEO went on to say how 9/11 should have been a warning"... yes, 9/11 was a warning, as I wrote about on Quora many years ago:
*****
"9/11 is the most important watershed event to have occurred in our lifetimes, and as things are going now, will remain so for many generations to come (by design).
This is why I find it difficult to turn away from it, though I do get away from it in bouts, so as not to burn out.
This event facilitated rampant criminality (read lawlessness) on a scale that would have been hard to imagine prior, the further dissolution of the American Constitution, vast curtailments of civil and international rights… eh, you know just as well as I do, massive increases in military spending that otherwise could never have been possible… and on and on it goes, would have to go through my saved documents and list it out, you know where I’m going, if anyone else is reading this and are too lazy to inform themselves, then my enunciating the issues here will surely matter little.
The ramifications of the 9/11 false-flag attack are HUGE, and this event is the most important political and criminal issue requiring worldwide attention.
These homicidal maniacs tested:
the public’s gullibility and proved it
the Media’s complicity and proved it
the Legal system’s complicity and proved it
the whole governmental system’s acquiescence and proved it
the whole world’s docility and proved it
or rather, they tested their control over the above and more that I’ve failed to mention, and deemed their grip to be secure
What else did they test and learn?
They learned that anything goes, that they can get away with just about anything without consequences.
They learned that the majority of people truly are pack animals that require safety in numbers, and as such will readily self-censor in order to ward off any possibility of being labeled as, heaven forbid!, a Conspiracy Theorist!, or any possibility of mockery or ostracization.
And again here, how long can I go on, how lengthy a list could I sketch, it’s already a quarter to midnight, I need to get some shuteye, so that will be as much as we’ll go into for now.
One wonders how grandiose their next false-flag attack is going to be, and how many will need to perish.
Most people probably are gambling that whatever the next event is, it will not affect them nor their family personally, so they are willing to turn a blind eye."
I disagree that it is "human nature" to be violent.
I believe that forced social constructs and their built-in constraints and exigencies create the environment for LACK, which spawns desperation in certain people who often turn to drugs in order to numb their pain and increase the likeliness of doing harm to others in order to survive. I also believe that "crime statistics" are made up out of whole cloth to support whatever agenda the psychopathic tyrants wish to further.
I refuse to believe that The Great Creator made us violent. That sounds like the belief system of people who do not understand Natural Law, but accept that our Creator is violent and cruel and yet somehow also merciful. Does not compute in my perspective.
I agree 100%. We have the capability, such as a mother protecting her young from a threat, but we are not inherently violent, that comes from experience with other violent humans.

Assuming this isn't satire it is totally consistent with woke corporations cutting their own throats lately. As witnessed with Bud et al in the USA when they jumped the shark and finally crossed the few lines that people have.
Clearly, the profit motive is no longer number 1 for some/many mega corporations. WEF orders? Agenda 20230 decrees? Some higher good is clearly preeminent. Alas, it is anti-human.
Re: 'weapons control' it is hard to believe there are still people totally convinced that making weapons illegal will somehow stop crime. As though a criminal would use a legally owned weapon.
Never do they look at Switzerland with the fact virtually every house has military style weapons in it, and their historically low crime rates.
We've seen mass casualty events using trucks, something ridiculously easy to gain access to.
You hit the nail on the head, Edwin. Human nature isn't going to change.
Criminals will be criminals. No law is going to stop that. All it will do is ensure the herd remain helpless. In fact, that the inherent right of self defence is not seen as a fundamental right in so many nations is literally conditioning the masses to behave as if they are helpless.
Criminals will stop when they face the good chance of dying in seconds of starting their attack - as we sometimes hear about from the USA. A shooter literally put down in seconds, not even a blip in the media, I wonder why? That means gun free zones are a magnet to attract attackers, not a 'safe' place to be. You are more likely to be attacked in one than anywhere else - talk about a perverse outcome.
This pervasive government over-reach, as they intrude more and more with each passing year/month/week/day, is the real threat we face. The same governments that have literally encouraged or otherwise facilitated the influx of millions of FAMs into our nations.
They are causing/fanning the problem, prompting the expected reaction and are now presenting their solutions.
Governments are Evil, the tool of Evil, and they all need to go. Stat.
Let’s hope old woken Swiss Army knife go broke quickly. You know some of the good folks over in Palestine can toss a mean stone. I know they have a plan for sling shots too.
"The totalitarian states can do great things, but there is one thing they cannot do: they cannot give the factory-worker a rifle and tell him to take it home and keep it in his bedroom. That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage, is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there." George Orwell
If you remove what the product is named as, wouldn't that be lying and false advertisement?
Well, if it doesn't have a knife blade in it, I suppose they could call it "The Swiss Army Tool."

Eventually, it will be a straight jacket and padded room for the non-compliant among us, plus a heavy dose of Haloperidol, intravenous, twice a day.
😭🤬
I carry an NRA pocket knife. Good for opening things, cutting rope, or tie-ties. Hub keeps it sharp. Are scissors next? I have one of these for the car. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81UWsabEqeL._AC_SX569_.jpg

Well said, Kristi.
This will be equated with a,

Well, we’ll see.

They’ve already got those listed, except for criminals.
😁
Ultimately they will delete teeth as a weapon!
We won't need them, worms, remember.
reality becomes satire.
For sure.

Peace.
First, thank you for your comments.
Second, I didn't write this, Martin Armstrong did.
Third, I saw no satire in any of it. Easy to see why it might be received as such.
Fourth, it's not a Strider, it is the Swiss Army knife. Do you reckon the Swiss Army will be exempt.
I almost thought this was a Babylon Bee article.
Luckily Texas is a constitutional carry state, which included guns, knives, and swords. lol.
Swords, great back up weapon(s) to an micro-UZI.
Let’s hope old woken Swiss Army knife go broke quickly. You know some of the good folks over in Palestine can toss a mean stone. I know they have a plan for sling shots too.
If you believe apes are our ancestors you need to do some deeper thinking.
What does it matter now! We're going 'digital' with everything, don't you know.
Just polling their cattle.
I hope they read this column.

A few of my thoughts:
https://drp314.substack.com/p/some-second-amendment-thoughts
At one time it was the belief of both religious leaders and the people at large that a failure to defend innocent life, including one’s own, is a sin.
That little knife is not much good for much. If anyone looks around a kitchen you will find a multitude of different knives. The poorest are butter knives and the new-fangled serrated steak knives. Most of mine are knives you can sharpen. They are food prep knives. Hunting knives come next, often worn openly. The idiots need to watch Forged in Fire. They recreate some of the most historical weapons, from Bowie knives to weapons of war. https://assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2011/07/14/53ae32d0-a643-11e2-a3f0-029118418759/thumbnail/1200x630/334653e50140c9abc12370c69e7eaf4c/Deadliest_Warrior_Weapons_0014.JPG?v=1d6c78a71b7b6252b543a329b3a5744d
I didn’t read it as such.
Will Victorinix require an Army waiver to buy the old design, or a note from the Sheriff, paperwork like the NFA, or something.
Speaking of Sheriffs' a poster on the Federalization of the NG, said Biden was going to Federalize Sheriffs. There was no news I could find on that.
