Doctors are calling for long pointed kitchen knives to be banned in the UK. Apparantly a lot of murders/attempted murders in the home are commited with these knives, so doctors are calling for them to be banned.

I have a vast collection of swords. Samurai swords, a barbarian broadsword (my personal favorite) and assorted daggers. I have to say those doctors are right! I should have these things taken away because the urge to thrust them into unsuspecting victims is just too great!
and found such knives have little practical value in the kitchen.
None of the chefs felt such knives were essential, since the point of a short blade was just as useful when a sharp end was needed.

The argument from the doctors is that long sharp knives are not needed any more. Whether or not it will prevent deaths is up for debate. The fact that long knives are unwarranted is not.
djohnsto77, I think your generalizations here are disgusting and not becoming from some one who is supposedly an 'expert'. Keep your racist bigotry to yourself in future
