I was ready to get outraged, but upon a closer examination, the article turned out to be a thinly-veiled ad for a number of fine knives. The author is trying to sell something. I don't know if we need to read too deeply into that. I find the introduction without any substance, and I don't take any of it seriously.

On the other hand, it's a good idea to bring sensible knife laws to New York City and to other American cities. I urge people to support causes that will bring about the changes beneficial for us and other Boy Scout types.
