  1. "we need to stop the people at the end of the knife from having them'. "if you get caught with a knife you go to prison". Years ago, I walked past two police officers, with a double-edged 'commando dagger' in a sheath in the armpit of my body-warmer, clearly visible. But, I worked on harbour control and the knife was a tool, used almost daily. One size does not fit all!

  2. It's all 'smoke and mirrors', and will do nothing to stop knife crime! Years ago they banned 'curved blade (replica) samurai swords - so the manufacturers made swords with straight blades instead. When has a 'zombie knife' ever been used in an attack? The fact is the most common knife used in crime is a 'black-handled kitchen knife'. Also the PR displays of 'knives seized by the police' have been handed in during a 'knife amnesty' not seized. Many of them are ones deposited in the bins by charity shops trying to dispose of donations 'responsibly'.
