[pissant]

The once great nation has fallen hard.

[Tax-chick]

If it really makes it harder to cut your fingers off in the kitchen, I have a son who could use one.

[handy old one]

Wait till you see what they do to forks!!

[RexBeach]

Have they altered lawn darts yet?

Stupid gits.

[elpinta]

I remember when a Klintonista advocated ‘safer bullets’ too!

[kms61]

the ones who would buy such a knife aren’t the ones who go around stabbing people. And the ones who do go around stabbing people aren’t going to buy this knife.

[El Sordo]

Sad beyond words.

[SC DOC]

I’ll bet they can still slit a throat pretty easily.

[Army Air Corps]

Of course, somone could grind a nice sharp point on it...

[ConservativeMan55]

bump

[Dr. Thorne]

I wonder if you can grind the tip into a point? Oops. There goes the concept.

[kromike]

No doubt, criminals everywhere, TERRIFIED of all the anti-knife laws on the books, rushed to legally purchase their anti-stab knives so as to not run afoul of anti-knife laws.

[MAD-AS-HELL]

so what’s to stop someone from grinding down the top of the knife to make it sharp?

And I suppose that the morons in the UK have never watched MSNBC’s prison show where they detail how inmates make shanks out of everyday objects.

[Dr.Syn]

If it can still cut a throat there will be a good market for it in the Muslim nations.

[RobFromGa]

Ruprecht wants one...

[Jeff Chandler]

What’s next, anti-poke nails on boards?

[Concho]

Made in China and sold in Britain for $80 to $100? Such a bargain for a $3 knife. I wonder what they dont understand about fatal knife wounds? The “locals” here would take that knife and cut you three ways—wide, deep, and frequent. They dont need to stab you.

[dangerdoc]

This just in: Grinding wheels and sharpening stones to be banned.

Consideration of metal ban followed by styrofoam cups and lighters.

[WayneS]

A “stab-free” knife?

That might slow down or stop the rank ameteurs, but I was under the impression that the “proper” way to kill someone with a knife involved slicing. That would be the exact same motion/action needed to prepare meat in the kitchen.
