Oh no. The dreaded gun comparison.
Lets just all agree right now that knives are in no way close to being as dangerous as guns. How many drive by stabbings have happened this year?. Civilians are rarely hurt by stray blades and the worst thing to come of accidentally pulling the trigger on a knife might be a cut finger (depending on what the hell a knife's trigger is)
Can a knife be used as a weapon? Yes, but it's a close and personal weapon that requires not just the intention to use, but the willingness to physically engage another person, exposing yourself to just as much risk of danger.
Guns are efficient killing weapons designed to distance the user emotionally and physically. Claiming all knives (and not just swords and machetes) should be treated similarly is to say that baseball bats, rocks, mugs and anything else consisting of hard material that could potentially be used to inflict harm needs to be prohibited.
