Good point.

I can see the need for a bait knife though.

I do agree with Mike. Your cousin must have a crappy lawyer. A reasonable knife can be carried if you're partaking outdoor recreational activities like fishing, hunting, camping and even scuba diving. Unless the officer caught your cousin with a knife and no outdoor gear, the officer may have a case.

A knife is a really versatile tool and can be used for different things and takes up less space than multiple smaller tools.

What if you find a school of shiners while fishing for Channel Cats and want to use them as cut bait, without having a knife a nail clipper wouldn't do the job.

A knife can also be really handy in survival situations too.
