  Cool beans, so it's roughly half of them or so. Nevertheless it still seems to be a ban not on knives but on some of their uses, such as using them against people or planning to do so.

  This link also indicates: >Carrying regularly requires a "justified reason" or a "legitimate purpose" That was kind of the point OP was making right? Only certain uses of knives are prohibited.

    Needing to have a legitimate purpose / justified reason is a higher bar than "not swinging at people". It means if you're a gardener going to work cutting down bushes it's ok to carry a machete, but if you're just an ass carrying a katana in your back just for the looks, "but I wasn't swinging it at anyone" won't get you out of jail

    It's pretty misleading to say "certain uses" when it includes the default. In the list of reasons you might have a knife, the blatantly good reasons are allowed, the blatantly bad reasons are disallowed, and everything else is disallowed.
