Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Wednesday, June 17, 2009

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. 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.

Bullshit idea.

There are two types of knives that kill.

Slashers and stabbers.

Stilettos are classic stabbers. Kukris are classic slashers.

The Bowie is both (the second best killer when it comes to knives).

However, a slasher... the Kukri.. has taken more kills than any knife, by far.

This new knife can still be used as a clumsy slasher.

HOLY CRAPPE! what next, tineless forks?

p.s. - the best knife for stabbing people would be one made out of ice - you sink it into the person's heart or femural artery - BOOM! no fingerprints - no evidence! that from a short story of one of my son's classmates a few years ago - macabre i tell you.

Best stabber.. in my opinion... is a long-handle screwdriver.

Your kid hangs out with some sick little fuckers.

Nice parenting.

The real question is:

If you had to make a stabbing motion due to being in confined quarters and you have a stabless knife that you can get to, or an antenna you cannot get to, which makes the better weapon?

In WW2, you must have heard the story (true story) of the Nepali Gurkhas silently feeling the shoelaces of guards. If they were done Japanese style, the Kukri would slash their throats in a second (it's a big knife but beautifully balanced).

An Australian buddy of mine... his dad was in WW2.

He sez he was holding position in total darkness with his guys in the jungle, when out of nowhere, someone touched his Aussie hat and a voice heard in his ear... "ah, Aussie.. good.. not worry".. and the Gurkha vanished back into the jungle with his Kukri. LOL

The Kukri has a reputation of coming from nowhere.

Your hands. Smash your elbow in a downward arc into his collarbone using your body-weight. There will be nothing left.

So does Bill Clinton.

a fixed antenna or an extendable antenna? details, i know.

#7 | Posted by Tosser

In N. Africa during WW2 the Brits would send Gurkhas out at night. They'd find three German sleeping, slice the heads off the men at either end of the trio, replace them, and move off into the night. In the morning Wolfgang woke up to find Fritz's head on Hans's body and Hans's head on Fritz's. The goal was psychological: Wolfgang became a walking, talking morale killer.

when i make mine, i'm thinking about putting some cayenne pepper in it - what do you think?

As a dealer in knives, there may just be reason for calling me an expert on this subject. As such I have concluded that this is perhaps the dumbest reason for a knifes shape that I have ever heard of. The inventor is a genius at creating a less than useful piece of cutlery. This would equate to making a gun without any kind of firing pin. Not very good. Just like a knife without a point to prevent stabbings. This could be a requirement for those convicted of having stabbed someone.

I think that cayenne pepper will neither keep your tube socks from sagging, nor cure your "special" son. Sorry, but that's just reality.

I had a stabless knife for years. Now I need a blue pill to use it.


Stabless knife to end the reign of car ant.

I demand you retract this sir. No one is afraid of a stabless knife. Just watch this street scene;

****************************
Guy (with stabless knife); 'excuse me sir, I'll be needing to take all your money'!

Brit; 'Oh look honey, he's got one of those stabless knives, and it's so cute too. We haven't time for you, mr mugger, as we are on the way to the dentist. maybe later you could pop around for a night-cap?'

Guy (with stabless knife); 'Well alright. Can I fuck your wife instead'?......

Guy (with Car antennae); (mumbling incoherently to himself, drolling and slinging his antennae around wildly).

People on street; (walking as fast as they can) 'ooooo, let's. get. away. from. this. crazy. mother. fucker'.

******************************
**

see, I told you so.


The inventor is just trying to take advantage of the anti-knife campaign that is going on in the UK.

Knife attacks are the favorite way of mugging in the UK... enough to be considered an epidemic of sorts. Knifings in London are far above world average.

So guy who comes up with "anti-stab" knife might create goodwill for product.

Even people in jail manage to make stabbing weapons pretty easily. You can't stop muggers from using stabbing weapons with this foolishness.

"..and will reduce the risk of accidental injuries"

Now that's just bullshit. How many times does someone accidently stab themselves? Everytime I've accidently cut myself with a knife it was with the edge not the point.

Anyone who buys this thing is just wasting their money.

You mean I've spent the last few months scouring the local Salvage Yards for car Antennae for NOTHING?
It's not fair!!!!

Good one.

Another little thing that shows slashers can do more damage than stabbers.

In fact... I don't know if they did this in America.. but here, gang folk (my uncle was a gang leader once) liked carrying cut-throat razors. The ones you shave with. Lethal in a fight.

There is no way you can use that to stab with... but people would piss their pants if you pull out a cut-throat.

How stupid is this? Just get a piece of metal grind one edge to a point and stab away. When I was in high school I made the ultimate stabbing weapon out of a long putty knife I ground down. I called it the republican slayer.

Or use a screwdriver.

i don't know, a nailgun is a pretty good weapon...

Okay... I'll bite. What do you use the point of a knife for in the kitchen?

There is nothing that I know of in food preparation that needs to be stabbed first. Generally, the meat is delivered pre-stabbed (i.e., dead), so that concern is removed.

It's pretty rare that something in food prep needs to be pierced.

"what next, tineless forks?"

I think that's called a "spoon."

Or maybe a Spork. You can't really stab anyone and kill them with it, you can just poke them with it and annoy them alot.

You will NEVER be allowed in my kitchen, y'a perv!

I have a dive knife that has a duller point than that. I still think you could stab someone or yourself with it. It would just hurt more.

You prove more and more everyday you are twisted.

Too bad you never ran into my buddy Bernard Getts.

I hope your son's friend did not take credit for originality. The Ice Knife story is a very, very old urban legend. I even think there is an Ellery Queen story about it.

Or use a screwdriver.

NUTZING, do your hear me!!!

NUTZING will ever equal a car antenna when it comes to self-defense, you fools!!

Waiting on you.

What is this, a fucking joke?
This clown says,... hey, look at me, I designed a knife that doesn't stab.
Like it took any kind of thinking at all.
For the hell of it, I think I'll buy one of his knives,grind a point on it and send it back to him stuck in a piece of wood.

FF.

didn't they invent one of these years ago and called it a meat cleaver?

How about you just send them to an Al Gore Global Warming seminar. If that doesn't do em in then they might wear a hockey mask on movie sets.

I'm still waiting for the Papier Mache baseball bat.

yeah and mercedes is coming out with a DEATH PROOF car too..

anytime I read some claim like this I always think of the other claims made

BUY A TICKET ON THE ONLY UNSINKABLE SHIP

TITANIC LEAVES TOMORROW....

Knives don't stab people. People stab people.
(Oh come on, SOMEONE had to say it!)

That's part of the problem - "anti-comedy" jokes.

Rcade,

Thank you for preserving my headline in the body of the post. :)

So does that mean he re-invented the butter knife?

This guy is a genius.

Now, if we can just get all the criminals to buy them, including OJ, our lives will be safe.

"I called it the republican slayer. - Rasta"

I thought you had to drive a campaign sign stick through their heart to kill them.

I guess slashings will be way up in briton in the near future.... Jack the ripper was a slasher not a stabber.

Not everyone gets their meat from the store.


When you do get an animal before it is a pretty packaged steak you need good knives. This takes place before it gets to the kitchen but is all part of the preparation of food. Oh yeah and I shoot them with a gun.

I have two knives and a saw. My favorite knife, (I call it my asshole knife,) is more like a scalpel but with a rubber handle. The handle is nice because when your hands are all bloody you don't want the knife to slip around. It has a sharp point and is sharp as fuck. The other knife is a 7 inch hunting knife. Both flawlessly cut meat. And the meat they cut is better than any shit you buy in the store.

Sorry to ramble but I keep my guns loaded and my knifes sharp. Just out of basic habit.

i like an .064 stihl. it makes a pretty clean cut and most of the blowby...well, it blows by.

Boob will no longer have to vandalize the nearest car when he is mugged.

If "boob" would just wear steel-capped shoes and take a little time to practice kicking kneecaps, he would find no need for car antenna.
