Another reason not to use a Swiss Army Knife to hurt people
Post: 1
Posted Aug 29, 2001 by Spartacus
If you try to hurt someone with a Swiss Army Knife, the blade is very likely to fold back in place, cutting any finger in the way.

This property gives a very good way, for example, to punish a hunter who shot something/one he shouldn't have. Put him in the forest with a Grizzly Bear, with a Swiss Army Knife as his sole weapon smiley

There are models with a stop notch that prevents this, though, but for these knives the three reasons mentioned in the article still apply.
