Well after almost two months and talking to every deputy I know, I have my confiscated CS medium tanto voyager (AKA gravity knife)back. Wound up using the influence of a friend of a friend. When this first happened, I was pretty much resigned to letting it drop. Thanks for all of your encouragement regarding the need to retrieve my knife. And no, I will not be bringing a blade into a court building, regardless of it's legality again.
