The company's founders, owners, and members are socially irresponsible and should their products be used illegally, I hope they lose everything they own and rot in jail for pre-meditated stupidity.

WM-
there were a few times back in the dark days of the Cold War, that a dozen of those in the ruck would have come in real handy -cheap, sharp, no glare, light. Even now, in my area, they are tempting to have, as a way to be 'carrying' through metal detectors in buildings - my little Gerber drop blade (2") sets them off, but it does have one ID Tag chained to it. It's a nice defense tool.
I agree that they are somewhat irresponsible, due to the marketing, but I'm a knife guy, have been since before I joined the service, and look at knives differently than the average person (as do most of the people on this site) they are tools - multi-purpose tools, lifesaving or lifetaking tools depending on the situation. I agree with your unstated premise that they should notbe made available to the general public - the gang bangers, the unbalanced - at a low price.
Personal and social Responsibility rules, in all things.
