Knives are one of the most versatile tools of all times. They are used everyday in the kitchen for chopping up chicken and for fine detailing small fruits.

Are stiletto knives legal in Arizona?
as long as it is not in your poket ad at your house it should be legal
Some states prohibit or severely restrict automatic knives or switchblades as deadly or prohibited weapons, occasionally inserting exceptions to enforcement for short-bladed knives, while others such as New Hampshire and Arizona have no restrictions on sale, ownership, or possession.
They have been banned in some locales. In others, it is only illegal if you are carrying it concealed, with an intent to harm, or if it is over a certain length. Check with your local police department. You can also get around the law by carrying a balisong trainer that has a bottle opener instead of a blade.
What is the difference between a switchblade knife and a spring loaded knife?
A switchblade is an automatic open knife. You only have to press a button and the blade deploys. These are illegal to own in many states and illegal to carry in public in others. A spring loaded knife is an assisted open blade. This means that you still have to apply some pressure to get it to open, either with a thub stud or with a flipper. These are legal in most places, depending on the length of the blade. There are various assisted opening mechanisms and spring loaded is one of them. Others include ones operated by torsion bars like Ken Onion SpeedSafe, which is used in Kershaw and Zero Tolerance knives

Why is the fork on the left and the knife on the right?
Because you use your knife to cut, and your fork to keep your steak from sliding of your plate. It's simply harder to cut your food with your left hand. so you take the fork in the left hand, the knife in the right.
That's the reason, why the fork goes left and the knife goes right from the plate.
Can you carry a pocket knife in Illinois?
The laws in Illinois regarding carrying knives are a little confusing and vague, but generally you're permitted to carry a knife with a blade up to 3" without any hassle. Having a knife in your possession while committing a crime, whether or not the knife is being used in the crime, will be grounds for a charge of carrying a dangerous weapon to be added on to the charges related to the crime itself.
Within the city of Chicago, and perhaps other cities, the blade length limit is 2.5" rather than 3".
Switchblades of any kind, defined as being able to be opened without touching the blade by means of a button or release on the handle, are illegal in most states, including Illinois.
(720 ILCS 5/24-1,2 States that there is NO limit to a 3" blade length, but rather knives that are either switchblade or ballistic (propelled blade) in possession commits the offense of unlawful use of a weapon. A knife blade that is thrust open by thumb on the blade itself and not on the handle is not in this category and is therefore able to be longer than 3") 720 ILCS 5/Article 33A states that "Armed with a dangerous weapon" means that you are carrying a knife with a blade longer than 3". This in itself is not a crime, but you commit armed violence only when committing a felony with this weapon.
Can a felon carry pocket knife?

How do you use a knife and fork?
One uses the fork, in the right hand (even though it is placed to the left of the dinner plate) (even if you are left handed--in the U.S.) to gently spear the food, although with peas and tiny rolling items you use the fork to collect them and gently guide them to your mouth. One never touches the teeth to the fork. The knife is supposedly used to cut food into bite sized pieces. But we all have had difficulty trying to cut meat with a dinner knife. It is in good manners to ask a server for a "sharp knife" or a "meat knife" or a "steak knife" when in a restaurant. One does NOT ask for a cutlery exchange in the home of a person to whom one is not related. Most especially not one's mother-in-law. When faced with a dull knife, one can only put some elbow grease into the act of cutting, which is supposed to appear effortless--but starving is frowned upon. Another answer is "gently." One uses all cutlery gently. If presented with a piece of cutlery one does not know how to use, one keeps his/her eye on the hostess to see what he or she should do.

This question isn't a law question in any sense that I can tell. Though the answer for why people do knife crimes as in stabbing cutting etc. is mainly what some call crimes of passion. To use a knife on a person you have to be up close and its more of a personal attack. Firing a weapon is more long range so you're more disassociated with it. But, knife crimes are very personal. It goes back to instinct. If you are in the mindset a knife is the only choice for some. While using a gun is what others would consider safe, they don't have to actually see the person hurt or die or even bleed. They don't have to know. They can just believe it and it is enough for them.

Are most people in the world killed by guns and knives?
No heart disease (cardiovascular disease) and a multitude of illnesses kill more. Think about it for a minute, cancer, HIV/AIDs, malnutrition in Africa kills a child every 5 seconds which amounts to around 6 million children a year alone in Africa. How about cancer and all its forms?
The only time guns may have killed more than disease & illness was perhaps WW2 when an estimated 50 to 70 MILLION people died as in 2.5% of the worlds population back then. The guns that possibly killed the most in that war were the German machine guns - the MG-34 and MG-42. On Omaha beach upon June 6th 1944 D-Day landings a 21 year old German machine gunner killed an estimated 1,000 G.I.'s firing 12,000 rounds of ammunition in the process as the tide caused a lot of landing craft to land directly in front of his well fortified emplacement. The MG42 could fire 25 bullets a second....thats 1,200 to 1,500 bullets a minute. It sure killed a lot of Russian soldiers too. World War 1 years may also have been the only other time in recent centuries where guns and knives/bayonets killed more but I doubt it. Spanish influenza wiped out millions back then also.
