  Afaik, all single hand operation deployment knives are illegal in Italy. It’s somewhat of a nonsensical rule when there are teenagers stabbing themselves with kitchen knives, but still…

    You can make surprisingly sharpb objects, I once cut myself with my printed bed-scraper by accident.

    These printed knives can absolutely also be used to hurt/kill someone, if you wanted to…like all type of knives and basic cutlery really…these being an illegal type is the trigger here I believe.

      Let’s just hope that the politicians never realize the danger of sharpened sticks or they might ban trees and bushes too.

        I could probably poke out some eyes with my knitting needles, glad nobody banned those (yet)!

      Of course, I never intended to imply that a plastic knife would not be dangerous
