Woke Idiocracy - Swiss Army Knife to Remove Blade

The manufacturers of the Swiss Army Knife by Victorinox stated that it would no longer include a knife in its infamous pocket blade design as a result of worldwide governments creating restrictions on carrying weapons. “We’re concerned about the increasing regulation of knives due to the violence in the world,” stated Carl Elsener, Victorinox’s CEO. “In some markets, the blade creates an image of a weapon. I have in mind creating a tool that would be useful for cyclists. Cyclists have a need for specific tools but not necessarily a blade.

We already have a tool specifically for golfers.” The CEO went on to say how 9/11 should have been a warning that companies need to shy away from any form of self-defense product production.

Anyone who uses a pocketknife can testify that the blade is an absolutely essential tool. Victorinox sells about 10 million Swiss Army Knives annually, and this change will likely hurt its bottom line. There are far worse weapons at play, but governments worldwide want to prevent all law-abiding citizens from having any form of self-defense. Are they to ban kitchen knives next?
