Stab Proof knife

The first "anti-stab" knife is set to hit store shelves in the U.K., designed to work as normal in the kitchen but 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.

Cornock, 42, from Swindon. England, 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.

"It can never be a totally safe knife, but the idea is you can’t inflict a fatal wound," he said. "Nobody could just grab one out of the kitchen drawer and kill someone."

I guess they forget that whole concept of slitting a throat or just slicing someone up with the sharpened cutting edge. I've said it before and will say it again. One day England is going to end up banning shoe laces because you can strangle someone with them.

I'm not seeing what is new here. We've had knives and even scissors with rounded tips for many years.

Only in Brittan...

This is just another reason why we need an assault knife ban in the USA!

And here's a model showing off the new forks:

I know most people here are going to think the whole idea is ridiculous, but I am going to state the obvious.

1. If someone is robbing your house, they are likely to bring their own weapons.
2. If someone is robbing your house and they need a weapon, they can still cut you with this.
3. If someone is robbing your house and they need a weapon, a blunt object like a baseball bat would be just as bad.
4. Fake safety through complacency. (I have a no trespassing sign, so I don't lock my doors; I have a stab proof knife, no one can use it to harm me).

If you are sitting at home and worried that someone will stab you with your own kitchen knife, I recommend you get a bigger personal knife. Seeing how any person with a preschool education or higher knows how to make a stabbing device I am pretty sure criminals will still get there hands on sharp objects.

Rumor has it that New Jersey will soon ban all sharp sticks. Anyone found with a sharp stick on their property will be fined and/or imprisoned.

You take away sticks, then the guys in Asbury Park won't have any sticks to throw, and then they won't get any dates.

latest update is new jersey has come up with a new knife it is supposed to be safer than any knife out there







oh wait NEWSFLASH these are now being recalled due to the fact that they can still be use to inflict blunt force trauma.



what a vicious cycle. what they dont realise is that people will use whatever they find to kill/harm another person. doesnt mater about laws/rules or anything else if someone want to kill you there are endless ways of doing it. you could be choked out with a swimming pool noodle if someone wanted to kill you badly enough.
