Just use a screwdriver or an ice pick.

If the knife won't slit, you must acquit!!!

Fuck stabbing, I can slice and dice you just as fast.

Posted: 6/15/2009 12:35:08 PM EDT

And I'm sure that it is impossible to grind down or sharpen.

"new point" should be replaced with "no point" prior to shipping.

During the project I have been privileged to meet and work with a number of highly skilled specialists.

Dr Mike Beckett and Detective Inspector Mark Clarkson are such individuals and have the following to say about New Point Knives;

- Dr Mike Beckett. Clinical Tutor. West Middlesex Hospital -

'All manufactured products should be designed so that they combine efficiency in their intended purpose with the greatest possible degree of safety. This is especially true of household products which are freely available to the very young and very old, and used by people who may be clumsy, short tempered, drunk or mentally or physically unwell. Most people fit into one or more of these categories at some time in their lives. The humble kitchen knife can be a lethal weapon in the wrong hands, and thousands of people are killed or injured by them every year. Most knife wounds are caused by kitchen knives. Until now nothing much could be done about this, apart from some legislation of limited effectiveness. This new design of a safety kitchen knife is therefore very welcome. It deserves to gain widespread acceptance. Perhaps in time the long pointed kitchen knife will be relegated to the history books, together with the cut-throat razor, toxic coal gas and arsenic insecticides: all outdated, dangerous products that may have some specialist uses, but have no place in the domestic environment.'

- Detective Inspector Mark Clarkson. MPS Anti - Knife Crime Unit "Operation Blunt" Violent Crime Directorate. TPHQ -

'Speaking from a personal point of view, after having had the opportunity to personally test this “Safety Knife” on various joints of meat, I am convinced that this design will greatly reduce the ability of it to be used to puncture or unlawfully cause stab-like injuries. I would like to encourage the designer to press forward with this product, as I genuinely believe it can reduce both accidental harm within the kitchen and stab-like injuries in general.'

Did they also take the edge off of the blade thereby making it impossible to cut anyone or for that matter, anything with that knife?

In order to prevent some hooligan from putting a point on that stupid looking thing they're gonna' need to outlaw grinding wheels as well.

Keep that to yourself or they will start working on a stab proof ice pick.

I'm sure you can still cut people with that

I guess Europe still has stupid people breeding. We are not too far off with the liberals here. We need a major disaster or the welfare checks to stop every now and again to clean out the system.

Laugh it up guys. We may be in the same boat soon. It will show up in California first.

So know the bad guys will go for a deadlier throat slash instead.

In some ways I would rather be stabbed by a knife that filleted by one.

Why don't they just use these.

It is impossible to know the appropriate response to something so inappropriate.

Meh, knives are so last century–– a quick trip to the local drug dealers will yield a nice new MP5.

It was invented by industrial designer John Cornock, who was inspired by a documentary in which doctors advocated banning traditional knives.

And the first thing he did with it was remove his own testicles. The majority of knife crime in England is probably being committed by immigrants, so what they really need in immigrant control, not knife control.

As usual, Vdare offers a far more illuminating view than the gutless British press.

Here's just one of the links from the Vdare article.

Chilling, predictable, and tragic. The perfect storm of nihilism and political correctness, and Great Britain is absolutely reaping what they sow.

Slashing a carotid artery will kill you more quickly and surely than stabbing someone. That knife isn't going to prevent that.

And I bet a determined person will STILL be able to stab someone with that knife. The bad news is that when they do the hole is going to be a lot more ragged and messy than a nice sharp knife. A lot harder to stop the bleeding. If anything that knife is more dangerous.
