I don't see a need for an undetectable knife. If you're using a knife for a legitimate purpose, what's wrong with a good ole steel blade? Cuomo is 100% right on this. NY has always been ahead of the curve on this issue. I remember when Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance Jr. busted a bunch of stores in NYC for selling illegal switchblade-style knives. Even Home Depot was selling them.
The whole knife culture that has grown up over the past few decades needs to be looked at. We haven't had serious knife legislation from US Congress since 1957.
Ceramic bladed knives are far better for some cooking uses.

I doubt this. But even if true, then sell these knives without a point, as they do in Britain. You don't need a point for cooking uses. You only need the point to stab someone. Also you could require that a chunk of metal be embedded into the handle so that the knife would not be undetectable. That would solve the issue.

Heck yes, vegetables get chopped way faster with our ceramic knives. They’re basically permasharp, they rule in the kitchen. I’m often sous chef to my wife, so I bought the ceramic set to make that role easier. Ceramic slicers are awesome too.

But you don't need a point on the tip to chop veggies, do you? Anyway, it seems like laziness to me to never want to have to sharpen a kitchen knife. And it could cost jobs by putting knife sharpening companies out of business.

Slitting someone's throat isn't done with the pointy end. Your jugular is really close to the surface.

I’m not a knife enthusiast, but ceramic knives feel sharper than a freshly sharpened and honed steel blade. They just keep an edge longer.
So why not just require that any undetectable knife have a chunk of steel embedded, so that it would show up on a metal detector? You could take one of these undetectable knives into a jail, on an airplane, or into a courtroom. Something needs to be done here.
