My understanding, from the Lars Larson show earlier this year, is they would stop US manufacture also. You could only buy the knife if it were made in your state (commerce clause). Haven’t heard anything lately but I know the Oregon knife companies were pretty hot about it.

There's still too many reasonable states out there to pull that off, and SCOTUS wouldn't rule in the fed’s favor on it. Their best bet, really, is doing the same thing they did to fully-automatic machine guns, requiring a special tax. Not that I'm trying to help them screw us, but that'd probably be the only legal course.
