A study shows that knive attacks and murders are on the upswing in England. It has been suggested by some that knives be "re-designed" to make them less useful as a murder weapon, while still being useful for carving up food.
One's first reaction may be to "guffaw"at the idea of reinventing the knife, but on further review, it would be interesting to have a knife that cuts in the kitchen but wouldn't necessarily be a prime choice when it comes to attacking another human being.
Chefs will naturally be outraged, so for them, perhaps they could get a special knife permit to carry the good old fashioned style of knives.
