I freely admit that it is poorly written, and WILL be misinterpreted.Originally Posted by Leader
From the two phrases: "Knife" is the match to "object", they are the "subjects".
"double edged", "nonfolding", and "any length" are the descriptions of the type, "such" would have to closely follow the previous descriptions.
There is a "knife" from the 16th century, it is properly a "stiletto", even though that word has been stretched to fit "other" knives. It is also known as "main gauche" or "left hand". It has no cutting edge, it is (was) used as a shield and strictly as a stabbing weapon. I think that is the type of thing they are trying to include. It, the "main gauche" is not an exact fit, but is covered by more than one "descriptor", basically a "stabbing" instrument.
Again, this poorly written, and I don't support it. I really, really want the "hobby" exemption, but not at the price of the other language.
