NO! ANY folding knife can fall under this "decision". Since their "test" allows them to "manipulate" the blade before the flick they can open the blade past any detents/locks and then flick it open which makes it a prohibited weapon.
That slipjoint knife your grandpa carried? Illegal. The swiss army knife you had as a kid? Illegal. Buck 110 folder you love? Illegal. That leatherman you have carried every day for years? Illegal. Now, they aren't likely to seize them but by their definition and their own "tests" these knives are illegal.
Their decision is overly broad and their "test" is different for every knife and every person that administers it.
