It's as stupid as corner cushions and as English as the Francis turbine.

It says snag on skin.
Won't that just make a gnarlier wound?
And seriously?
£40-£50?
Like the people who's kids take knives from kitchen drawers can afford a whole set of these.
Hell I don't know anyone who could afford a whole set of these.

I don't get it either. If its a decent knife it can do a lot of damage by slicing, and if you really wanted to hurt someone with it you still could. I don't think someone would take the knife and drool while they are confounded as to why the person doesn't die when they make a stab at them.

It's no an amazingly bad idea.
You can't do too much damage slicing someone in the street.
If someone goes to slice you run.
If they stab, their hand's going the same way you want to be heading.
I would like to know how they help.
They just remind me of fishhooks...
Also I'm very tired and not too sure how much sense that post made.
Goodnight.

Seriously, one quick slice along the neck and this safe knife is useless

I'm pretty sure you could still stab someone with that if you cot the angle right and pushed hard enough. Calling that thing stab safe is a bit like calling a meat cleaver stab safe.

I want to see an "anti-slash" knife now.
Oh well, there's no mandate that all knives be manufactured like this in Britain, and I imagine few people will buy such a knife.

The idea itself isn't bad. But it's still one of those things that just aren't really necessary.

Not yet anyway. I wouldn't be too surprised though if after a few months of people lobbying for "safety" Britain outlaws regular knives and suddenly british chefs are forced to buy inferior knives for exorbitant prices.
I mean this is the same country that outlawed the Bat'leth, and now only outlaws will have Bat'leth's.

Even with these "safe knifes" I bet it is possible to kill someone with it, making it a usseless invention. Everything Touched by the likes of Mankind is Nothing more than a Tool of Destruction

Why is everyone talking about murder? This is obviously not an invention to make knives mom-deadly.
It just fucking means you just have the fucking choice between a knife with which you can accidentally stab yourself and a knife with which you can't.

How do you accidentaly stab yourself with a knife? I can understand accidentally cutting yourself, but anyone who places a knife in a position to accidentally fataly stab themselves with a kitchen knife is probobly trying to kill themselves, or is an idiot and shouldn't be allowed around knives in the first place. It's along the same lines as accidentally shooting yourself with a shotgun (not a sheared off shot gun).

Au ' contrare my friend, people have shot themself with a shotgun accidently. Knifes however a different subject. Besides, the article clearly said that the inventor invented the "safe" knife to reduce the number of killings and accidental cuttings.

When I see an ordinary knife, I experience no impulse that could potentially bring harm to myself or another. However, when I see these knives, I want to grab them and stab someone repeatedly in order to evaluate how 'anti-stab' they really are. They're actually more dangerous.

See, now you're not thinking about stabbing someone else, but you're still thinking about stabbing to death.
It's easy to stab yourself with a knife. I've gotten one in the foot and the thigh throughout my life. That's not going to kill me. Equally, a kid hitting a corner of a table won't kill him, yet not many people have problems with corner cushions.

I made my post in response to the second quote which speaks of stabbing yourself and specificly spoke of fatally stabbing yourself. But you do have a valid point.

I never spoke about 'fatally' stabbing yourself, but you see my point. The only problem is the price, but seriously the comments in this thread kind of bug me. Looks like so much annoyed thought to a valid consumer product.

Truth. 'T is part of the human condition to want to carry out our own experiments...
And what about things like tomatoes, where the points come in handy? I consistently use the point to break the skin of the tomato, since it results in fewer founts of tomato juice and less manging of the meat of the tomato.

Jill, you can still stab yourself/others with these knives, it's just harder to do it fatally.
As for people getting up in arms about, what is in all actuality, an inferior knife with a high price tag, I'd figure we're perfectly justified.
This product is stupid and born out of paranoia. It should not exist, and barring action by the British government, Hopefully it will cease to exist very soon.

Don't use foreign languages if you can't employ them without making mistakes. It's a pet peeve of mine. It should be "Au contraire". Conard...
