Dull knives? We all know what that means, everyone will be cutting themselves because knives slip and go sideways when they are dull.

UK is stupid. My guess is they will devise a Sharpness Index for knives.

Trained professionals will come around to homes and test your knives for sharpness. If they are too sharp they will be dulled.

They can stop eating steak and roast beef. Unless they run it through a Cuisinart before serving.

It is, in fact, a VERY British thing to do.
Back in the days of sail, a knife was part of every sailor’s toolkit and they carried them constantly.
On long voyages, where tempers might wear thin, the captain of the ship would have the tip cut or broken off every knife with a blade over 4 inches long.
The logic was that a 4 inch knife could stab all the way to the heart.

They will form multiple committees of highly paid morons to devise the index.

They’ll ban stones and bricks too - those can be used to sharpen. And no more glass or obsidian.
