Knives are too sharp ...UK Judge Suggests Ban/Mod of Kitchen Knives'

[Vendor Hidden]

Knives are too sharp and filing them down is solution to soaring violent crime, judge says...

Judges. They're just like us… only stupid.

A cleaver has no point I once made one for a old school Butcher that had a 3/8" x 4" blade 18" long with a 12" long tang. He mounted it in a Hickory Splitting Maul handle. He said he could cleave a full sized Hog in half down the back in two swings. No point what so ever.

Pointy things are dangerous, even sticks.....

Seems to me, that this Judge wants the knives he is SO afraid of, to be just like him.....

.....Dull and pointless!

This is almost funny but really, it's sad. Knives are too sharp and filing them down is solution to soaring violent crime, judge says

So, he said: "I would urge all those with any role in relation to knives - manufacturers, shops, the police, local authorities, the government - to consider preventing the sale of long pointed knives, except in rare, defined, circumstances, and replacing such knives with rounded ends.

"It might even be that the police could organise a programme whereby the owners of kitchen knives, which have been properly and lawfully bought for culinary purposes, could be taken somewhere to be modified, with the points being ground down into rounded ends," he said.

While he's at it he should surrender his gavel...this one should get him all the respect and attention he deserves, and it can't be used to bludgeon anybody.

Well since they don't have any teeth, gruel should be a welcome staple.

The only thing that stops a bad guy with a knife is a good guy with a gun.... Yep, it still makes sense.

Sorry, that's all I have.
