I believe that is a bill that was introduced that didn't pass.

Evidently, banning Swiss army knives was too ridiculous even for the Hawaii legislature to consider. The law only prohibits switchblades and butterfly knives, along with the somewhat ambiguous "dirks and daggers" (specifically noting that diving knives are not daggers). I guess it would mean something with a full blade along both sides, specifically for stabbing.
