Janne, there are plenty of valid reasons for needing a sharp tip for a knife.
I have mixed feelings about this alteration to the wording. My personal feeling is that the 'flipper' knives are not necessary. One-handed opening, yes, but do any of us need a knife that opens in 0.25s vs a knife that opens in 2s?
How do you word legislation to block super-fast opening knifes? It isn't really the mechanism that is the problem, it is the speed.
