Working with meat especially.
We could just have a functioning mental health system.
You can't ban all useful things that can also be used as weapons. It's too many. New ones are invented as you read this. You gonna forbid baseball bats? Bricks? Tree branches? Tools? This can't work.
You gotta draw the line at things that have been created to be used as a weapon.
Exactly, kitchen knives are used because they're readily available.
Screwdrivers can be used to stab just as effectively.
However, I have a solution. Make the handles gay rainbow coloured. No self respecting gang member is going to carry a batty knife.

Butter knife 'an offensive weapon'
14 April 2005 • 12:01am
A butter knife can be an offensive weapon, the High Court ruled yesterday.
The decision came in the rejection of an appeal by Charlie Brooker, of Welling, Kent, who had been convicted under the Criminal Justice Act of carrying a bladed instrument.
Mark Hardie, appearing for Brooker, argued that the knife had no handle, sharp edges or points and therefore could not fall foul of a law intended to protect people from dangerous weapons.
But Lord Justice Laws, sitting with Mr Justice David Steel, disagreed. He said: "I would accept that a sharp or pointed blade was the paradigm case - however the words of the statute are unqualified and refer to any article that has a blade."
Fishing hooks. Knitting pins. BIC razors out of their plastic housing god forbid.
I wonder how they think these "articles " should be regulated along with butter knives? Bonkers.

Because of its availability and ability to puncture the skin easily, the ice pick has sometimes been used as a weapon. Most notoriously, New York's organized crime groups known as Murder Incorporated made extensive use of the ice pick as a weapon during the 1930s and 1940s.[4][5] There were up to 1,000 murders committed by this group.

Why are we not talking about the very dangerous and still not qualified chopsticks?
Anyone can go from eating or tying up their hair to stab other in the eye and kill them.

Stick one of those in a pencil sharpener and look out, world

Ban pencil sharpeners. And pencils. And pens too, I’m sure Peter Sutcliffe would agree.
How am I supposed to stab meat in order to cut it?
