So are they banning the carrying of all knives or just saying that they won't have sihks carrying them? Also is the ban on the full size kirpan or just kirpans? If it's just kirpans that would be a opening for attacking even the ceremonial and jewelry based ones.

I can feel sad for their lose. There is at least one gentleman who is sihk in my company and while we were at a black tie event for our company he was in his full gear as was I and I will tell you he made a much more impressive image than I did in my kit. His wife was a vision in her sari.
