Both knives and hammers are tools that are not designed for killing. Guns are. (edit) One of the reasons that the law say that the legal age of possession/ability to buy a gun is either 18/21
I would expect that if a young child was able to get into the knife drawer and harm someone, most likely them self, that the parent would be held responsible. just like when a young child gets out of the house due to a parent neglecting to latch the door, watch the child, they are held responsible.
On a side note. US military personnel are not allowed to have knives with a blade more than 3 1/2 inches unless involved in duties that require it. (field duty). They may not be kept in the BEQ and must be stored in the unit armory.
