I hope not.

Stab-Proof Knife



I hope I never see a Busse, SR or SY stab-proof knife. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

its quite simple, if you want a stab proof knife, make it like a GOLOK. I honestly never use the tip of my knives, except to jam into stumps for pictures.

Absolutely ridiculous!

A person could still slash with it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> Uh Oh, hopefully I didn't just let the cat out of the bag that knives can also be used to cut. Now, they just might be forced to start using plastic knives over there. Darn, I should have just kept my mouth shut. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

Fools!

Pure insanity.

That makes me think of the Robin Hood movie.

"I will cut his heart out with a spoon."
"Why a spoon cousin?"
"It's dull you twit, it will heard more!"

They need to create some blunt nails, too, while they are at it. Otherwise, people will improvise and make shanks, after all.

I think Dan, Jerry and Eric would have to get so drunk the earth would start spinning in reverse to ever make a knife like that.

We're safe.

And by "safe" I mean Bussekin's knives will never be!

(BTW, as we all know, a knife never stabs anyone. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />)

With banning all non-blunted knives, are they going to ban any and all types of sharpening stones and grinders as well? Anyone could take one of those blunt knives and make it have a tip again.

These people really need to stop focusing laws on the method and instruments of harm, and instead focus on the intent of those wishing to do harm. Make harsher laws, like the death penalty, and you will reduce crime.... or at least get rid of repeat offenders! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />

Hahahahahahahahahahah! This is so absurd, it's hilarious! This moronic invention isn't going to stop stabbings. Ban grinders and similar devices? The sidewalk and stones are plentiful and can act as makeshift "grinders." You know, if things keep going this direction, we'll be back to fighting with sticks and rocks in no time. Hmmmm, perhaps we'll start throwing feces at each other like some particular people who were living in trees in my home state!

As for whoever invented this, does he nnot realize that anyone who knows how to use a knife to "fight," knows that slashing can be a very effective means of hurting someone? People like this don't really seem to think things through.

Perhaps I'm wrong since I'm no chef, but aren't there times when you really need a pointed kitchen knife? If a point weren't necessary, wouldn't everyone just have cleavers or similar knives in their kitchens?

Well that is the UK. Didn't the King of England make the table knives to have the now common rounded tip so nobody would stab him at dinner? Or maybe it was the King of France. The new design looks even more stupid.

"will reduce the risk of accidental injuries."

How many times have you accidentally stabbed yourself with a knife? Now how many times have you accidentally cut yourself with the edge of a knife?

They could do that IF that was their intent.
I would surmise however, that the true intent is not to reduce
crime but rather to exercise control over their citizens.
