It looks like there are probably more wrinkles to this. First, certainly a knife is without question a dangerous weapon for the purposes of the law. Second it would be unlawful to possess a knife, "...for the purpose of being used unlawfully as a weapon against another...."
One open question is whether there's any Minnesota case law (or other statutes) discussing the bases and standards for inferring intent. This could turn into an extensive research project.
