Knives are being carried on a much more frequent basis by many working people. I see literally hundreds of people a day, and people who actually do the work (they still exist) can often be found with a pocket clip attached to a unknown knife placed in their right hand pocket, or indeed in a back right hand pocket.
Admittedly, LEO's are the ones who carry most often, but there are many construction workers and chefs and various other people who carry knives in the course of daily commerce. Then there are others who carry just because they like to carry a knife.
So should a knife be viewed as a tool with a sharp edge? Or a tool that has more uses than just work related? the difference being the "legitimacy" of actually carrying what one would like for whatever reason.
