You can say guns, but again, does it really matter? Yeah, some things are more effective at being a controllable and efficient weapon, but then, being a weapon doesn’t mean it will be employed unless necessary, making most weapons wielded by sane people less weapon-y than a non-weapon can be when wielded by a moron or someone intent on causing harm...

As a line cook who uses knives everyday as part of my job, I would never go for a kitchen knife if I needed a weapon in an emergency. There are so many other things in the kitchen that would better suit self defense than a kitchen knife, depending on how much damage you want to do. Heck, many cooks I work with have non-kitchen knives on them that would be better suited for that purpose. However it is a pretty dangerous tool. So is a deep fryer, and a meat slicer, so they aren't unique in this regard. When I saw this I immediately though of how no cook would ever use their kitchen knife on anything other than food, mostly because they are expensive and a good kitchen knife is hard to come by. Inversely, even in a pinch, a combat knife like the ones shown here would be completely useless in kitchen. To a degree it is about how you use a knife, but this video is spot on about design dictating function. It also made me think about the fact that although I know a ton about knives that are designed for culinary uses, I'm pretty ignorant on knives in general. Not many people can say that they hold/use a knife for 5+ hours a day most days of the week, but even so I only ever learned what I needed to know about knives, which is how they are used in food production.

An eight inch chef knife isn't really designed to be swung around all that well, but a meat mallet? That's got weight, and can do some damage. Plus, if you use your own knife from home, those usually tend to be expensive, and you have to clean them thoroughly if you cut yourself, nevermind someone else. Then the fact it would probably be confiscated as evidence. It's just a case of having so many better options.

"Everything is deadly.

So a _weapon_ is a _tool_ used to complete the _task_ of injuring someone or something. Sure, some are better designed to complete a certain task but if I can't find my mallet I'm gonna use a pipe wrench to straighten out a piece of metal rod.

[@rayyanshaikh5591]

[@9SS94Cr]

"Some knives are designed as weapons while others are designed as tools" sounds like a very dangerous logic to me. This logic can be used to create idiotic regulations very quickly since no one can clearly define where to draw the line between tools and weapons, and quite honestly I think this line doesn't even exist in the first place. But law makers can create some arbitrary definitions to deem some as tools designed solely to cause harm, or "assault weapons" as they love the term so much.

[@Lugermonger35]

9SS94Cr that's actually the reason we have the laws we do in a lot of places the definition of a weapon Beyond double-edged automatic gravity knife ballistic knife it's hard to put a definite separation between weapon and tool the majority of those types of knives being banned in most areas with stricter knife laws excluding the Karambit and let's hope they don't figure that one out

9SS94Cr yeah that's true there are several other states more recently becoming more knife friendly but you're right however talk to to some of the people here and that phrase assault knife could become a household term I have literally been told I should be in jail for carrying a knife it was a Benchmade impel

Most people, including many cops, automatically assume Autos and Balis are illegal everywhere in the states. Old prejudices die hard. This is why even I'm allowed to carry balis and autos, I never carry them outside of my home.

The point of people classifying them as tools is so law makers and police don't pass laws banning the use and carry of pocket knives or that when you get stopped by a police officer a knife in the car isn't enough to give them warrant to search your vehicle because its a tool not a weapon. That's why I haven't got my pocket knives taken away from me in 2 different cases we shouldn't try to classify any knife as a weapon because law makers would definitely make some types illegal like in Canada no butterfly knives or any form of switch blade or gravity knife.

"Tool or Weapon" is a bogus argument. Let me explain: A tool is something build for a direct purpose, mostly to aid in the fullfilment of a certain action, job or task. A hammer is for driving in and pulling out nails for example. So it's a tool, because it was "build/designed for a function". A sledgehammer is also a hammer but different. It is useless in pulling out nails. So is it still a tool? Yes. Yes it is. Because it was build for another function: Aid to smash things. So if you expand this meaning to knives or weapons, a "weapon" is just a broad description for tools that aid in the task of unaliving people or to defend yourself. All weapons are tools, but not all tools are weapons. And yes the designed function does not mean it cant fulfill other functions. A hammer CAN be a weapon. But it never was build to be one. Unless it was a warhammer. Nice Vide btw :D

[@drflannelxd904]

Absolutely agree that weapons are a classification of tool. The use of that tool catagory happens to be unaliving things, or at least making things feel very uncomfy, but hey.

[@TheRealMort69]

A weapon is defined as an object which is designed to or used to kill an animal or person. So yes some knives are weapons by design. For example Karambits are weapons, Bowie knives are weapons, and Daggers are weapons. Because all of these are designed with primarily with combat in mind. And the can be in some cases very useful as tools. However a bushcraft knife, a kitchen knife and a hunting knife. Are optimized to be used for other tasks. They are tools. But you'd best believe it would kill you if someone stuck you with a kitchen knife. That said Some knives are tools and some are weapons. But once one is used to harm or kill, It is now a weapon.

The difference between a tool and a weapon is how you use it. Once had a school P.O in an art class making rounds (Middle School) we were given random objects and asked to organize them in to categories. Some people went by color, others by shape etc etc. P.O did his, and when the teacher asked him how he decided it was "things that can be used as a weapon"... a pen, a pencil, hell even the cap to a bic pen could blind somebody if you jammed it in there. Same as guns.. is it a tool for self defense/hunting/competition. or is it a weapon. Depends how you're using it.

As a gun person, this video hits home despite the difference in tool. Guns, while always capable of being used as weapons, can serve a variety of specialized purposes. From sporting, to hunting, to having fun, and finally to harm another human being. Firearms can even be artistic to a certain degree. Take the thompson into account and how it looks when compared to the "grease gun" that later replaced it due to cost. And yet people are so quick to call basically any gun with a pistol grip and a magazine an "assault weapon" like how any knife with a pointy tip is called a "combat knife"

A tool can have many jobs. They always say to have the right tool for the job and I think a knife is a very good tool for opening your mail, but it could also be used for cutting ham, or other kinds of meat for instance. Similarly, a hammer is good for removing nails and bending metal, but can also be used for silencing alarm clocks or other annoying things.

Whats the difference in the act of using these weapons or tools when it comes to harming or even killing someone? No matter if its classified as a "weapon" or a "tool", I would assume the person getting stabbed with it doesn't really care. Trying to justify the difference seems really farfetched.

In Russia where i live the knife laws are different. There are specific requirements for a knife to BE a weapon ie having a handguard, a thick enough blade, hard enough steel, long enough blade etc. There are exceptions though, like having a double edge or a blade longer then 90 centimeters, those make a it a weapon regardless of other properties.

i don't think the opening mechanism matter that much, a one handed fast opening help, but is not determinent. just like the shape of handle, a handle that hold your hand during thrust help, but is not enough to deem a knife as a weapon. the blade shape on the other hand... is there any other advantage to double edged blades than penetrating power? is a karambit curved blade that useful out of fighting (i have to admit it's damn nice to open packages, though).
