The defendant appealed his conviction for having a bladed article under the section. He had with him a butter knife, which was wooden and with no handle or cutting edge.
Held: The court would not be drawn into discussing whether it was sharp. The Act required only that the article be bladed. The knife fell within that definition since it had a blade.
