And Now… The Blade-Less Swiss Army Knife
May 7th, 2024Via: ZeroHedge:
Victorinox Chief Executive Officer Carl Eisner told Swiss paper Blick 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.
Eisner said, “In some markets, the blade creates an image of a weapon.”
Victorinox told Bloomberg, “The increasing regulation of knives in various countries represents a major challenge for the company.”
