FWIW, I just found this article / paper discussing the very issue of knives and the 2nd Amendment.

http://www.volokh.com/2013/03/25/knives-and-the-second-amend...

The author(s) appear to take the position that knives are protected under the 2A and that many existing laws regulating knives are probably unconstitutional. At least from the bit I've had time to read so far...




If we're going to take a literalist reading of the 2A, shouldn't any armament that can be carried by a single person ("bear arms") be protected?
