They are not going to get rid of one handed opening knives.
That's what they said about pocket knives in England

I've watched this SAME basic thing go on the table at various state and federal levels for 20 YEARS, and guess what...the laws haven't changed. Pretty much the only knife laws that I've seen changed are the FAA rules on planes. Everything else is state-level law (there's only one federal law that I know of), and they only change in respect to specific cases, as laws should (is a sheepsfoot knife a "dirk" under Cali law, etc).
Then you will be familiar with how a similar change in interpretation by customs changed the status of imported butterfly knives and how Spyderco got shafted for their production of the Spyderfly
