England is again at the forefront of safe society:  Behold the Stab-resistant Knife!

guns in 1997, the violent weapon of choice has become the knife.  Technology again comes to the aid of society with a blunt-pointed knife!  It has been tested by the "Home Office’s Design and Technology Alliance" and found to be harder to use in a stabbing since the pointy part has been ground off, and has a little indentation at the tip that snags cloth, spoiling the thrust.  It will sell for around $80. It is also very effective at chopping vegetables.

Maybe England will start a pointy-knife buy-back program, or provide grants for poor people to buy the blunt knives.  That way, if a criminal breaks in and takes their knife, the homeowner can be confident that they will have to be slashed by the edge to be properly killed.  There was no mention of the knife's efficacy at beheading. 

The unanswered question is, how do we get the criminals to buy them?
