When all the others:

- have no such restriction?


===========================
Possibly because the screwdrivers could be classed as 'stabbing'
implements - i.e. knives. The recent 'Knife amnesty' was intended to take
all dangerous knives out of circulation.

By far the most common murder weapon is a kitchen knife. Screwdrivers and
penknives over 2 and 3/4 inches probably figure very low in the numbers.
