It was neither a switch nor other spring-loaded blade, nor a gravity blade capable of instant one-handed operation, and differs only in its somewhat greater length from the familiar type of clasp knife carried as a useful tool by thousands[.] * * * Nor, alternately, was there credible evidence that the knife was nevertheless carried, possessed, or used as a weapon.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the concurrence“(A) `Deadly weapon' means any instrument, device, or thing capable of inflicting death, and designed or specially adapted for use as a weapon, or possessed, carried, or used as a weapon.”
