First 'anti-stab' knife to go on sale in Britain
(www.newpointknives.co.uk)
The knives are expected to sell for £40-50

The first “anti-stab” knife is to go on sale in Britain, designed to work as normal in the kitchen but to be ineffective as a weapon.
The knife has a rounded edge instead of a point and will snag on clothing and skin to make it more difficult to stab someone.
It was invented by industrial designer John Cornock, who was inspired by a documentary in which doctors advocated banning traditional knives.
Mr Cornock, 42, from Swindon, said that the knife will cut vegetables, but will make it almost impossible to stab someone to death and will reduce the risk of accidental injuries.
He said: “It can never be a totally safe knife, but the idea is you can’t inflict a fatal wound. Nobody could just grab one out of the kitchen drawer and kill someone.”
The knife is expected to sell for around £40-50 and has been tested with “very favourable” results by the Home Office’s Design and Technology Alliance - set up to research products that can deter crime.
Dear lord..... I guess the idea of selling a knife for $80-$100 (US Dollars) without a point is really going to reduce crime. Nope.... bench grinders or files and thirty seconds I a normal knife.
Oh.... the pointy stick is Man's oldest weapon. I guess banning pointy knives will remove them from the streets in about three weeks.
What about slashing attacks? ice Picks? Screw Drivers? etc..... It's not the weapon. It's the intent of the user.
Will prevent fatal attacks? I can slash a human throat far easier and kill someone with that attack then stabbing someone. Cut the artery and the person will bleed out in about three minutes.
Dear Lord I can't this mindless crap. Sadly Obama wants to bring this Big Brother style of government stateside and there are a ton of idiot liberals that will support it.
