So in other words you have no idea and are posting heresy with regard to the law. This isn't relevant to the discussion at hand. The (unrelated) image you have attached is not banned because it is a single-edged fixed blade. This is very clearly covered in the regulations.
Seemore, I can understand how at 30 seconds it appears to be that way, but this is an action which requires disengaging the liner-lock, and then if you look he is actually pulling the blade apart with his three fingers. The knife does not open because of stored energy. The definition under 1(1) of the schedule I referenced earlier defines a knife that must open on it's own (i.e. without disengaging a lock-back or liner-lock mechanism) OR one which opens automatically because of stored energy within the knife (like a button or lever releasing a spring, torsion bar or elastic).
Emerson style folding knives with a liner-lock or lock-back mechanism are not illegal. Similar knives of the same type were being sold at the Sydney firearms expo a few weeks ago, an event with a heavy police presence.
If you guys don't *know* then you really shouldn't be posting heresy or opinion. I didn't just Google up these links. I have referred to this legislation many times in the past and am somewhat experienced with it. If you disagree, fine, but stop posting opinion to the contrary which you clearly don't understand.

NonKonnektionPretty sure knives like this were banned in OZ after Crocodile Dundee came out in the 80s.
