Buck Knives CEO Nervous About Switchblade Rule
A northern Idaho knife manufacturer says he’s concerned about a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency plan to reclassify certain imported knives as switchblades.
C.J. Buck, president and CEO of Post Falls-based Buck Knives, says the proposed new definition of a switchblade includes release-assisted knives and could apply to just about every folding knife in the country.
The proposed rule would apply only to imported knives, but Buck says he’s worried it could eventually be applied to interstate commerce.
Idaho’s entire congressional delegation last week wrote a letter to Janet Napolitano, secretary of the U.S. D
Boy when a Government becomes afraid of it’s own people. They must be up to no good. The real bandits we need to worry about will not be using switchblades. I think they are already illegal yet all the Gangs have them. It seems when you ban anything it is the Law abiding citizen that gets to not have. The criminals do not follow the law? Terrorist however, well they have rights and we can not subject them to being caught.
