Questão jurídica principal
Whether the homemade knife falls within the Weapons Act definition of a weapon or dangerous object.
Decisão extraída
The object is neither a weapon nor a dangerous object assimilated to one under the Weapons Act and ordinance.
Fundamentação extraída
The statutory definition of knives is exhaustive and the object cannot be assimilated to the listed categories; pocket-knives and comparable canifs are excluded, and the court refused an extensive interpretation contrary to the text and legislative intent.
