An epidemic of stabbings and acid attacks in London has gotten so bad that London mayor Sadiq Khan is announcing broad new "knife control" policies designed to keep these weapons of war out of the hands of Londoners looking to cause others harm.

The "tough, immediate" measures involve an incredible police crackdown, a ban on home deliveries of knives and acid, and expanding law enforcement stop-and-search powers so that police may stop anyone they believe to be a threat, or planning a knife or acid attack.

Maybe violence control would work better.

Why doesn't the khan of lon-dan-is-stan enact MUSLIM control? They seem to be the problem, not knives.

If you want to look at what the Democrats, and Progressives want for the U.S. just look at the UK, and Europe.  That is their blueprint.  Look at the knee jerk call from Education, the Media, and their Democrat masters for banning semi auto rifles (which are used in less than 1% of violent crime) from law abiding citizens.  Next will be semi auto handguns, other firearms, and then they will get around to knives. 

Sick. Allow the criminals to posses these implements, but not the law abiding, leaving them defenseless.

I grew up in the era, now long gone for urbanites, where men carried a pocket knife.  You never knew when you might need a tool for whatever chore when you were out, and about.  When I was in Cub Scouts, I guess around ten years old, we sold Christmas decorations door to door for charity, and if you sold enough one of the prizes was a small pocket knife that had a few blades, can opener, etc.  An older version of a Swiss Army Knife.  I was going to get that damn knife come Hell or high water, and worked my butt off to do it.

It became one of my prized possessions, and I carried it always, even to school.  Nobody cared as other boys did it too.  It was normal.  The world certainly SUCKS in a lot of ways now.  I'd be arrested if I had a pocket knife at school today.

Man, that's just the kind of statement the libs love. "No one should this, no one should that."

I have just added jackknife to my town list. Any recommendations?

My dad carried one everywhere. He ALWAYS had his jackknife in his pocket. Whenever we needed to share a giant cinnamon roll at the coffee shop, he'd get it out, give it a few perfunctory wipes on his overalls, and say that it was pretty clean. "The last thing I did with it was cut a mouse out of a trap."

I miss my Dad.

Dirty little secret time.

I have a dive knife with a scabbard and a rubber ring to hold the knife in up above the handle. It has a dual leg strap to keep it on my leg. I put a longer strap on the handle section and wear it under my shirt with the haft down. It's very good for places which proudly display the 'guns prohibited' signs. I only had to draw it once. We were in one of those famous eastern liberal paradises, and I noticed a kid eyeing my wife's purse from a few feet away. He decided to pick someone else.

Biggest knife-like tool I own is a machete. The machete is unregistered  ::) and hanging in my garage.

I've used it on tall blackberry brambles. It took me some practice to use it effectively (mostly downward cuts with the blade properly oriented and plenty of momentum) ... blackberry cuttings tend to fight back, though. It's a jungle out there!

You don't know how many of them ended up in airport garbage cans because I forgot to put it in my suitcase.

I know I gave a perfectly good pre-ban 15 round Sig 226 magazine to an airport cop when I forgot and left that in my briefcase. No weapon, just a magazine. Loaded. Oops. They offered to let me go back and check it, unloaded of course, and I said no thanks, it’s yours.

I have lost at least three of those small multi tools you carry on your key chain.  Leatherman Squirt I think they are called.  I don't carry them anymore because I always forget to take them off at the airport. 

I accidentally tried to go through security with a five inch hunting knife in my carry on.  They found it, grilled me, then let me check the bag, fortunately.  I had been camping on a previous trip, and through it in my bag, but forgot it was in there.  Got lucky.

I carry an olive green Benchmade Griptilian  where ever I go. If I have to fly, its in my checked bag.  Cannot have weapons at work (911 comm center), but you know, this isn't a weapon, its a kitchen utensil and it cuts apples like its no ones business.  Just like a proper kitchen utensil should.

And it just gets even more stupid:

Quote
A judge has proposed a nationwide programme to file down the points of kitchen knives as a solution to the country’s soaring knife crime epidemic.

Last week in his valedictory address, retiring Luton Crown Court Judge Nic Madge spoke of his concern that carrying a knife had become routine in some circles and called on the Government to ban the sale of large pointed kitchen knives.

Latest figures show stabbing deaths among teenagers and young adults have reached the highest level for eight years, and knife crime overall rose 22 per cent in 2017.

In the past two months, he said, there have been 77 knife-related incidents in Bedfordshire, including three killings.

How long before they restrict finger nails?

 I will wager eventually they will succeed at this, and even go further by not allowing cutlery to be sold without a back ground check, and registration (serial numbers on all knives).  I can also see an expensive and expansive laws that will only allow trained and qualified chefs be allowed to own and use certain knives.

 Just wait till people start attacking others with cricket bats.

Carrying a sharp tool was one of the biggest evolutionary steps for our remote ancestors.  What does it say, to forbid this most basic and natural human behavior?
