Oversize knives are pretty impractical, but I could definitely see where an Asp or PR-24 would provide an excellent less-than-lethal option of taking out an aggressor's knees or weapon arm with greater certainty of a stop than pepper spray.

The main problem with a knife is that it can't really be seen as nonlethal; if you cut them, they bleed, and no matter how carefully you place the cut, one big enough to stop an attacker will eventually kill him through blood loss.

IMO, even more useful would be to get a definition of "small" into 46.01(14) (Chemical dispensing device) that would still be considerably larger than the 2oz some companies take it to mean, or just get the small limit removed altogether; I'd like to have the big ones around the house as part of a contingency plan for breakins.
