Box cutters. Also, no shoes allowed in public during the winter.

I have the P226 9mm in stainless. I love it. The carry is a P232 .380, also in stainless. I love it. I don't like the composite or alloy guns; they're too lite.

Firstly its not the UK its Scotland.

Secondly in 40 odd years living in Glasgow I have never known a responsible adult go out on a Saturday night carrying a blade. Unfortunately we have a bit of a problem with teenage gangs, all of whom are permanently "tooled up".

This isn't aimed at you or me or anyone with any sense of responsibility, its aimed at stupid teenagers who thing its cool to "plunge" other teenagers for no real reason.

I don't know. There have already been calls for the banning of combat-style knives. Of course, my response was is it worse to get stabbed/cut by this Ka-Bar:

Or this razor-sharp, high-carbon hardened steel Zwilling 12" chef's knife?

Nice. I had a P228, same thing, but more compact. I loved that pistol.

Regrettably no!

Here is another thread from last month about this topic.

my concern is that, once the UK bans knives, rocks, and windows, criminals will turn to:
sarcasm
pillows
and comfy chairs!

and when comfy chairs are outlawed, only outlaws will have comfy chairs.

Knives are becoming an increasing menace in the hands of young girls, too.

I blame the entertainment industry

I predict this will be huge success to be followed by blunt object amnesty

Followed by an edict that all in Great Britain must eat with their hands only and surrender any and all "implements"!!!
