If no one was injured by the knife in the sandwich, I could not recommend your suing anyone.

Since the knife was found in the sandwich off the store's premises, it is possible that the knife was not put in the sandwich by the restaurant. I suspect their lawyer would argue that is what happened.

Whether this happened in or out of the store, however, if you are upset but not injured, I would advise against suing. Suits are expensive and time consuming. Unless necessary, they are a bad use of your time. Good luck.
