What's in your pocket? What's in your shop?


U.S. Customs has proposed revoking earlier rulings that assisted opening
knives are not switchblades. The proposal would not only outlaw assisted
opening knives, its overly broad new definition of a switchblade would
also include all one-handed opening knives and most other pocket
knives... Seems that our utility knives and other knife tools are covered
under this too.

release-assisted opening mechanisms are prohibited..." *from
