Doctors in Scotland are seeking a ban on long kitchen knives. Saying they serve no purpose in the kitchen, they are the weapon of choice on the streets, used in half the stabbings seen in emergency rooms each year.
Malcolm Duck, chairman of the Edinburgh Restaurateurs Association, defends long kitchen knives:
"Kitchen knives are designed for a purpose. It would be like asking a surgeon to perform an operation with a bread knife instead of a scalpel. Anything in the house like a cricket bat could be used as weapon in the hands of an idiot.
Chief Superintendent Tom Buchan, president of the Association of Scottish Police Superintendents, has a practical consideration.
A ban on sharp, pointed kitchen knives would be welcome, but it could be difficult to enforce.
"You, you with the long, sharp knife carving the roast! You're under arrest!!!!!"

I find that, having used my kitchen knife to first murder and then hack up my victims, it is a considerable chore to clean them of blood, ichor and gore before using them to chop onions, slice vegetables and carve meat.
Hacking through bone also tends to blunt them to the point that they are almost useless as kitchen utensils.
boy, you could not cut this fart with any knife!
