How Ridiculous? Blade-Less Swiss Army Knife Debuts As Weapon Laws Tighten
In a world that is fracturing into a multipolar state, with risks of world war erupting in either Eastern Europe or the Middle East, continued threats of conflict in the Pacific, and the migrant invasion across Western countries, the company behind the iconic half-century-old fold-up tool, the Swiss Army Knife, will soon debut a blade-less version because of regulations.
Victorinox Chief Executive Officer Carl Eisner told sources on Monday that its Swiss Army Knife will soon be available without a blade due to mounting regulations in European and Asian countries amid a surge in violence.
“We are concerned about the increasing regulation of knives due to the violence in the world,” Elsener said, citing new laws in the UK and Asian countries that only permit knife-carrying for work or outdoor activities.
Victorinox told Bloomberg, “The increasing regulation of knives in various countries represents a major challenge for the company.”
