It was inevitable in the age of woke. With stabbings across the West, typically done as acts of jihad, knife makers have risen to the call, and are issuing knives with no point. Of course, no one knows how many pointy knives are in the community, at least one for every household, if not person, so it is pointless, pun intended. And as far as I can find out, no-one has used a pocket knife in any attacks. Yet we have Victorinox, who make the famous, or once famous Swiss Army Knife, now moving to issue the knife with no blade. Really, this is plain silly, as even with a blade, such a knife is the last choice a stabber would make, when even cheap Chinese-made kitchen knives would be superior. But it is the age of woke and going through the motions is what it is all about.
Personally, I do not like the very concept of the Swiss Army knife, putting all those tools on one small tool. Every tool is inferior to larger versions, such as the knife blade, and pliers. Better to carry the extra weight in a bag than face having to use a tool which may not be good enough for the job. Not having a blade on a pocket knife, is just like being in the proverbial, pub with no beer!
"In a world that is fracturing into a multipolar state, with risks of world war erupting in either Eastern Europe or the Middle East, continued threats of conflict in the Pacific, and the migrant invasion across Western countries, the company behind the iconic half-century-old fold-up tool, the Swiss Army Knife, will soon debut a blade-less version because of regulations.
Victorinox Chief Executive Officer Carl Eisner told Swiss paper Blick on Monday that its Swiss Army Knife will soon be available without a blade due to mounting regulations in European and Asian countries amid a surge in violence.
"We are concerned about the increasing regulation of knives due to the violence in the world," Elsener said, citing new laws in the UK and Asian countries that only permit knife-carrying for work or outdoor activities.
Eisner said, "In some markets, the blade creates an image of a weapon." Victorinox told Bloomberg, "The increasing regulation of knives in various countries represents a major challenge for the company."
Pocket knives are rarely misused. And there's reason to believe kitchen knives and machetes are being used in attacks across the West as a migrant invasion plunges this region of the world into third-world status."
