I’m not sure if this will help much, but this is an interesting concept…a company in the UK has made the first “anti-stab” knife, pictured here.
The first “anti-stab” knife is to go on sale in Britain, designed to work as normal in the kitchen but to be ineffective as a weapon. The knife has a rounded edge instead of a point and will snag on clothing and skin to make it more difficult to stab someone. It was invented by industrial designer John Cornock, who was inspired by a documentary in which doctors advocated banning traditional knives. Mr. Cornock, 42, from Swindon, said that the knife will cut vegetables, but will make it almost impossible to stab someone to death and will reduce the risk of accidental injuries. He said: “It can never be a totally safe knife, but the idea is you can’t inflict a fatal wound. Nobody could just grab one out of the kitchen drawer and kill someone". I don’t know about you, but I certainly wouldn’t want to be stabbed by a knife. But even if I couldn’t get stabbed thanks to these knives, I’m pretty sure someone would be able to figure out that they should use a slicing motion. But let’s say they didn’t do that complicated mental math. Do you have any idea of how mortifying it’d be to be murdered as a result of getting bludgeoned by a knife? That’d be like getting shot by a rock. [Source]
