No mention of the length of the pocketknife blade. I’ve seen pocketknives with a 4 1/2” blade, and I’m carrying a Buck pocketknife with a 2 1/8” blade (I just measured it).

Now, any pocketknife can be lethal - but as a weapon my pocketknife is far less formidable than the 4” variety. Surely, there has to be SOME definition as to what is a utility knife and what is a weapon, doesn’t there?

I suspect the story is leaving out some information....maybe a Crocodile Dundee sort of knife?

I can't imagine them going after a small pocket knife.

I got this thing from Pakistan ~ a regular old pig sticker even though they don’t do pig sticking. It folds up ~ about 8 inches long then. Can slaughter a sheep in seconds.
