For crying out loud:
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.”
Frank J over at IMAO has some trenchant comments on this:
REASONS THIS IS STUPID
* Someone who is going to stab people isn’t going to buy a stab-proof knife.
* There are so many regular knives available, that getting a regular knife will always be trivial.
* But, if all regular knives are somehow banished through a magic spell, you can just take a stab-proof knife and sharpen a tip against a rock.
* Or sharpen a screwdriver.
* And it’s not like someone is going to stop being a thug because his current implement his hard to stab with.
* Thought maybe he will get so frustrated he’ll just shoot you with his illegally possessed gun.
* Finally, really? A stab-proof knife? Can’t you still cut off your testicles with it since none of you limeys seem to need them?
Whats next? Knife control legislation? Brits have already ensured that only criminals and police will have guns, are they next going to make sure that you can’t even stab the rapist/robber invading your home? The wimpification of western civilization is just going too far…and even with the stab proof knife, the Islamists will be able to behead these gutless men who are afraid of having pointy things around the house…
