“`substantial danger that jurors will interpret this as being based on information at the prosecutor's command, other than evidence adduced at trial.'”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[D]irks or daggers were originally used in dueling and required blades locked into place to be effective ... they were designed for stabbing ... [the] failure to lock severely limits its effectiveness as a stabbing weapon because if the blade should hit a hard substance as a bone there is grave danger that the blade would close on the hand of the wielder.”
