Chicago has its own knife.

Another reason to like Spyderco - they listen to their customers' needs. And their 'Tenacious' line keeps expanding.

At the end of the day... it's sort of sad, though.

Chicago has a restrictive knife law? Well that should start dropping the crime rate any day now. I wonder how that law works with working folks carrying Leatherman multitools and such?

The British may have tried to outlaw sharp points on all knives including kitchen knives.. in response to elevated knife crimes that stemmed from having almost no guns..

Don't know if it'll pass or not...

Lets all make sure we write laws to foam all the dangerous rocks and avoid making sharp sticks....

I heard that Spyderco made a UK legal knife, which shortly became legal when they tightened their knife restrictions once again.

In the UK, you have to show ID and sign for a pizza cutter (yes, the round one).

100% Truth, and one of the most absurd pieces of legislation ever passed into law.

Illegal. I think what made it illegal was that you could still open it with one hand. I'd like to think that Sal is not going to give up and continue introducing new designs that are within ever changing laws. However, what made him famous, the Spyder hole, may be forced to be discontinued on those designs.
