Anti-stab knife

[elkins45]

Does it come with the file you use to sharpen the point, or do you have to buy that separately?

at 50gbp Id rather just file down a butter knife into a shiv.

 

[Reeek]

That is so lame I would be embarrassed to be associated with that entire notion

Perhaps Mr. Cornock could invent a knife that he simply can't
find a way to use. Would that be a "fool" proof knife?

Let me state something here for the purposes of reality.

To all non-English folk: Would you please refrain from mocking us due to the fact that some "genius" invented a "stab-proof" knife? There is simply no need for slurring our nation based on a terrible, terrible marketing scheme

I already have a rounded kitchen knife I bought from Ikea a few years ago.

I do think that someone could choke on that knife though - have they thought of that?

What happens if they just dump the knife, and just kick each other to death? Will they ban feet?

f0ul, wales,

Oh wow. Britain, you've really gone down the drain now.

David, New York, USA

This is absolutely ridiculous. Absolutely. Ridiculous.

The genius that thought this up, along with the home office "backing" members should be mocked in public.

£40-50? Who exactly would buy this when you can purchase a kitchen set of knives for under £5 from Asda?

Dave, London, England

You English have gone round the bend.

I imagine cars will be banned next.

Soon gravity will be outlawed.

Whatever happened to the English we fought side by side with during WW2????

Cliff, Portland, OR, USA

coming soon, anti murder windows that can't be opened so that you can push someone out. anti running cars, so nobody is killed in an accident. anti-edible food so no one chokes. frozen water so nobody drowns.

Bill, Atlanta, USA

What's next? Strangle-proof rope? Automobiles made entirely of rubber? Drown-proof water for our ponds and pools?

Our politicians are criminally stupid.

Will Davis, Chatsworth, USA

Here's the answer... Outlaw all knives and require all kitchen slicing/food prep to be done with a herring

I'd love to see Gordon Ramsay bone a joint of meat, or skin/fillet a fish with one of these ridiculous knives. I was a chef for years, as is my daughter now. Even now I keep my knives razor sharp. Some idiot said we should show a driving licence or passport to buy a knife. I have neither.

A pointless knife?

Bob, Barrow, UK

I didn't even get halfway down the page. Some of these are just priceless.

 

[sidecutter]

few yrs ago i had a neighbor beat his mom to death with a ball peen hammer. who needs a knife ???

A pointless knife?

Bob, Barrow, UK

Oh dear lord that is the best pun ever.

 

[C.S. Graves]

What the hell kind of documentary was this? Were they really doctors, and if so, why are they still practicing?

Maybe they can also invent non-pointed scalpels to prevent malpractice?

 

[elkins45]

at 50gbp Id rather just file down a butter knife into a shiv.

Do you even need to file it? I would think that a reasonably strong teen could drive a butter knife between your ribs if he wanted to.

I think your brick suggestion was a better one... especially if you mount it on the end of a stick.

I suppose a fellow with a good shovel could wreak total havoc in a shopping mall over there.

 

[MValborg]

so now only criminals are aloud to have pointy knives??

 

[Jeff Clark]

The Collins Axe company made special Cuban model machetes that had about an inch of the "point" end cut off due to laws banning swords. It was supposed to reduce fatalities. That is a very relative reduction.

One of my favorite kitchen knives is a Usuba. It is even more pointless.

 

[firebert]

It's a perfect business plan. Get all of the pointless knife patents you can, then have a law ban everything but your designs. Government-sponsored monopoly at its best.

I want in on it too.

 

[Vicarious Reality]

V for Vendetta will be a documentary, it seems.

 

[p_mcmanis]

V for Vendetta will be a documentary, it seems.

at least v for vendetta had hugo weaving.

 

[harkamus]

Anyone that isn't stick thin, could still penetrate flesh using that "blunt" tipped knife.

Seriously, does anyone actually think that you can't get stabbed with that weird looking knife? You can get stabbed with blunter objects than that!

 

[Reeek]

Next they'll be legislating the point off of a vial of acid?

 

[Erasmus]

Are we supposed to put up with gay knives under socialism?

I'd rather die.

 

[bleev3]

If I remember correctly you are more likely to be killed in your own kitchen than anywhere else in daily life so I do see a use for these "stab proof" kitchen knives. That said let the market decide not the Government.

Me personally, no way would I purchase them...I'd rather have a sharp clean cut to my juggler than a ripping sloppy one.

 

[scotchleaf]

I can't wait for the "anti crush hammer"

 

[gadgetgeek]

I got it, and anti-stupid condom, all you have to do is get them to wear it once, and it contains enough chemicals to sterilize both parties. Of course you label them, but we all know that idiots don't read. and when they complain (if they notice) you just refund the price of the condoms. It's a long term solution, but I think we all agree that making the world better for our kids is a worthwhile goal.
Or, get the CS to make a knife that cannot draw blood, they seem to be able to do everything else, shouldn't be that hard, maybe a blade that instantly melts on contact with anything body temperature?

It has always been easier to oppress the rights of law abiding citizens rather than hold those that make inappropriate choices acountable for their actions.
