Don’t believe me?
Some recent developments in the UK will have possession of a knife land you in jail for 6 months or a £5,000 fine.
while this is generally targeted towards “collectable” blades that you’ll most likely find in a specialised store, and things like flick-blades and whatnot, you have to stop and wonder where exactly they will draw the line. I wouldn’t be suprised to hear of people geting busted for cutting up a tomato at the local park or just carrying a pack of new steak knives out of a store.
To quote someone from the jolt.co.uk forums:
The government wants to restrict death to those who take the time to learn it as a skill, and fair play to them, I reckon. Any stupid bastard can kill with a sword or cleaver; it takes real finesse to do it with a bottle opener.
And I have to agree with them. You can kill someone with almost anything.
