Reply #22: Yeash, having now seen the video.. I draw two conlcusions.

1). Yeah, I think the school seriously over reacted. I mean, a Swiss army knife is every little boys idea of a James Bond Gadget. It's a knife, but it's also a screwdriver set, a fork, a spoon, a corkscrew, a pair of scissors, a can opener, a wrench, a ruler, and a saw. It can do everything. Now the Bow Scout knife in question does not have all those other cool extra's but for a little boy it's way awesome. I can't think of any kid who, upon receive one, wouldn't want to use it every time they ate. Breakfast, dinner, desert... using it to spear Cheetos in a bowl while they play video games on the weekends, and yes... when they eat lunch at school, especially if they think it will impress their friends. Kids these days are just as susceptible to wanting to be the first kid on the block to have "insert whatever is popular here", as we once were.

2.) Yeah, I think that kid was coached a little before the camera started rolling.
