What do you guys think of this concept?

Anti-stab knife

Pretty soon these will become the only legal knives, and if you take them out of your own kitchen, it will be a felony :jerkit:
 
Oh wow. This is a truly rediculous device... If someone REALLY wanted to kill someone with this knife, they could do it. By stabbing. With one stab.
 
Just cause you can't stab does not mean you can't cut :foot:
 
How does removing the tip make it safer? "Prevents a fatal wound" really? How about we just start preslicing vegetables while we're at it. :rolleyes:
 
oh dear. it would be over here wouldn't it.
anti-stab knives have been around for ages. the sheeps-foot design was made for it, and that's been around for donkeys years.
this particular design is going to seem realy clever right up untill you try to open something like a bacon packet with the point, and instead have to reach for the scissors.

oh, and one of the more recent "knife crime" TV news clips that we keep seeing (atleast on local news) is a bunch of teenage idiots with (sheathless) cleavers down their trousers. How do you stab someone with a cleaver? :jerkit:
 
Clearly every kitchen knife in the UK will magically be replaced with one of these so that obviously puts an end to all stabbings :thumbup:

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
Haha:D
That' s the most ridiculous thing I' ve seen in a long time...Kind of sad actually.
 
Doesn't the "My First Victorinox" or whatever it's called come with a rounded blade like that? Looks like a Waiter, but with no corkscrew.

IIRC it does. But it doesn't have the "grab clothing and flesh to prevent a full stab" feature that this one does.:rolleyes:
 
I'm pretty sure, if I felt like it, I could make that knife stab thru flesh quite easily. They are just trying to make some money of clueless people's cluelessness.
 
My wife wanted to take a trip over to London while we were in Germany. I declined. After she read that article she understood why.:rolleyes:
 
Brilliant concept, but far from perfect: the knife still has an EDGE. An EDGE, as we know, is a very dangerous thing: people can use it to cut themselves or others. So I would go further and remove the edge, creating the first anti-stab AND anti-cut knife.

Well, yes, that would render the knife completely useless (pointless? hehe). BUT it would be 100% safe. I would sell them at 100 pounds apiece.
 
Deja vu all over again ! Hundreds of years ago ,according to the history books, a king was tired of the fights that broke out during meals with drunken diners. He then ordered that no pointed knives be permitted at the table.That is why the table knives today don't have points !!
The paring knife shown is worthless .I often use the point on mine especially when cutting fruit.
The anti-knife hysteria is spreading and will come to your neighborhood soon !!

I don't know what you're talking about, all my table knives have points. :confused: :p ;)
 
From the history of eating utensils

"Long after knives were adopted for table use, however, they continued to be used as weapons. Thus, the multi-purpose nature of the knife always posed the conceivable threat of danger at the dinner table. However, once forks began to gain popular acceptance, (forks being more efficient for spearing food), there was no longer any need for a pointed tip at the end of a dinner knife. In 1669, King Louis XIV of France decreed all pointed knives on the street or the dinner table illegal, and he had all knife points ground down like those to the right in order to reduce violence"

Didn't make much sense in 1669 and less now.
