Since so many of you seem to be interested in using weapons that wouldn't really be accepted in the canon universe, a I myself do think it's quite a silly rule (even though I have been enforcing it) I will allow you guys to keep your knives or what have you. 

Another note, post will be up tonight. It's the fifteenth here, and I didn't really take into account the people in other time-zones. Should have specified that we would start on my fifteenth. :P
