How long does it take to sharpen or put a point on a knife. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be beyond the capabilities Rudaakana to do this simple task. |  |

Not making light of the subject but you can stab someone with a pen. |  |

I know, and scissors, but there's only so much that can be done. Why do kitchen knives need a point, i've never had to use one. I have a multi tool with a knife and it has no point on it |  | |  |

Someone with sense A weapon does not have to be sharp pointed to kill I could highlight a litany of items that can be used to inflict serious injury but obviously won't on this forum It's about intent It's about an evil mind |  |

Blunt Knives on 11:06 - May 22 with 252 views | mangohilljack | There’s a far simpler way to put an end to most of these stabbings: start actually punishing the people responsible. And by punishment, I don’t mean a few years in a cell with access to PlayStations and take aways. I mean real consequences — 30, 40, 50 years of hard labour, the death penalty for the worst of the worst, four concrete walls, a thin blanket, bread and water. No more cushy sentences. No more 23-hour lockdowns where they sit around playing Xbox. Turn prison into something they fear, not somewhere they treat like a break from the streets. Make them regret ever touching a knife — let alone using one. Problem solved. [Post edited 22 May 11:09]

Blunt Knives on 11:44 - May 22 with 224 views | AnotherJohn | The problem with the proposal is that almost every household or eatery has knives with points at present They can be expensive and I imagine families and chefs will be reluctant to dispose of them. I recently bought a set of Sabatier kitchen knives that I'd be reluctant to waste my investment. I can't see that many people would want to grind the point off although I'd rather do that they bin them. I do have a very sharp Rosle bread knife of the prescribed shape that my wife has been known to use to carve the Sunday joint, so the alternative shape is practical. |  | |  |

Harsher sentences do not have an overall effect on crime rates so we need to look at other options. It does seem counterintuitive but they're not a deterrent. |  | |  |

Yes they do When porofessional criminals are locked up , they are not put there causing grief Ok , they can control from observation de but it's harder for them Logic is we make sentences shorter then after we have changed their mind set so they go on to be upstanding members of society It's them or us It's a life career they choose Ask them |  |

You can sharpen a piece of household cutlery on a rock, wrap some cloth aroun one end and you have a shank, like the crims do in prisons. I think it's more about taking the ready availability away but the determined will always find a way. it may not be a great deterrent bit it gets them off the streets. We have gone too soft on crime. |  | |  |

They could do, but kitchen knives seem to be the go to weapon, so reducing the ability to cause penetrative woulds will help. |  | |  |
