Butterfly knife

Knife a dangerous weapon? Oh yes, in some respects much more so than a gun...

Story:
Scotland -- A man who stabbed his father to death walked free after a jury held it was a tragic accident.

The High Court in Glasgow heard when 58-year-old Hugh Owens insisted on going out carrying a martial arts butterfly knife, his 36-year-old son tried to take the knife but the dad fell to the living room floor, with five stab wounds in his chest.

Owens faced a charge alleging that in his flat in Maryhill last October, he murdered his father. He said the stabbing was a tragic accident.
