A cane knife makes quick work of the Buckthorn I have growing along the back edge of my property...

Sounds to me like the zombies are already there.

I got mine from Sarco, I think, some years ago. It’s pretty beat up.

Those do look useful. I like the little hook on the back for small whippy stuff.

And when the next nutjob kills some kids with a boxcutter

Or with a nail clipper.

Probably after the Duke of Buckingham was killed with a dagger in 1685. I believe the government banned the carrying of knives just after that.

Remember, the 9-11 hijackers used boxcutters to kill over 3000 people.
Several aircraft grounded were found to also have stashed boxcutters hidden on them.

Only if they’re painted black and have nails sticking out.

Interesting question. Maybe in context? Yes, in Yorkshire, No on Tottenham Court Road? But the law is perhaps not textured enough to address the nuance. Therefore, I’d bet No, not legal (but I would also enjoy the resulting arguments on both sides).
