Now, my opinion is, if you get used to them early enough and know how to handle them, I can't see why you should be forbidden to carry them. We had them in school, and noone ever got hurt. In my opinion, the problem isn't the knives, it's the people that handle them.

whenever I hear about someone getting stabbed they didn't do it in school where knives are forbidden, but outside at the bus stop etc.

The most extreme case I heard was when I was in Canada, and a 7-y-old boy got expelled for 3 days because his mum had forgotten to defrost his bagel the night before, so she gave him a (normal, not big or extra-sharp) knife to cut it and put the jam on at lunch.

However, in situations of out-of-control anger, which will always arise occasionally, there's a big danger that a knive will be used, even if the person is usually responsible.

Do you think that the reason stabbings in schools are rare is precisely because knives are forbidden.
Written by: onewheeldave
If knives are banned then they shouldn't be brought into school- the bans don't generally specify 'big or extra sharp knives'- it's all knives.
In the unlikly scenario that schools become demonstrably free of all bullying and violence, then maybe I'd be happy about them allowing knives; till then though, I'd say forbidding them is good.

I am, however, talking about proper hunting and survival knives and not your switchblade/locking knives which, in my view, are purely designed as weapons and should be treated as such.

The optimist claims that we are living in the best of all possible worlds.
The pessimist fears this is true.

I'm not saying laws over here should be more lax in general, cause obviously even with the laws that exist people get stabbed a lot. But then, if someone wants to kill somebody, they'll do it.

you use the point for cutting things like tomatoes - its useful for starting the cut - no matter how shart the knife is its an easier cut once the blade is inside can you imagine trying to fillet a fish with out a point?

Never tried filleting a fish, so ... *shrugs*
... but I know you can cut a tomato without the need of a point!

What's the problem with pointed knives? I mean, surely people are sensible enough to realise that the point is dangerous? Or is it approaching the level of sueing because you fell over in some shop's doorway?
