Muel Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 So then you couldn't stab said baddie?Nope, and I wouldn't want to. If I did then I would Go to prison instead of the baddie.How so, generally people who are going to break into your house, come prepared, with screwdrivers, and possibly their own knife, their not going to sort through your cutlery first, go "Ooh hes a safety conscious fella, best leave nice and quick before he beats us with a non slip bathmat" whereas if Im in my house, and i hear someone in the garage, I will go downstairs grabbing whatever thats big and or sharp that I can find. If some ones in my house and I feel the need to defend myself, I want a 12 foot lance,with a laser sight,that spits flames out the end of it. not an anti stab knife. I loved how you put that, I can see your point.There's another thing though, what about domestics that end in stabbings? This could help stop the wound being as deep and stop it being killerful.

LukasMcNeal Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I'd like the panel to recognise my motion for anti shoot guns™, perhaps if I'd have spearheaded this initiative earlier in my career, we may have been able to save Tupac.Hahha legend.

Fishy Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Tell you what Muel, lets do a test, I'll stab you with a normal household kitchen knife and then stab you with the anti-stab knife. I bet I could do the same sort of damage and get depth with both as equally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Yeh, well looking at the design of it, I think it wouldn't go as deep.You seem to be a bit pissed off with me recently Joe, or am I just getting the wrong end of the stick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Quinn Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 He told me he wanted to stab you, but all his knives are ineffective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManxTrialSpaz Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Actually, I don't think the design is getting the credit it deserves. Obviously in real life, this isn't going to do anything. But the design actually looks like it would work quite well.The rounded edge would be hard to stab through clothing and the valley between the round edge and the blade would hook onto material, so if you did penetrate the blunt edge through clothing, the blade will get hooked when it gets to the valley. Looks fairly swish to me. But only really if you're wearing tough material/the attacker doesn't go for your face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I'm pretty sure these arn't designed to stop pre-meditated knife crime. What they do is try and stop things like domestic stabbings where arguments in the kitchen (for example) turn into stabbings because someone picks up a knfe in the heat of the moment. If they're still good for cooking, then theres not really any downsides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good concept idea but completely impractical because it only works assuming an attacker can only get his hands on one of these knives.

adamtrials Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I reckon if they use these in ghetto schools kids will probably try them out to see if they're actually stab proof...I'm pretty sure you could still stab someone with it if you had them on the floor, you'd just need to stab, pull to make the incision larger then push.

Revolver Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I think you just stab harder.Well, if you're in cookery class, and you've got those knives, and you want to stab someone, obviously you'd choose a fork, or another implement that has to be sharp to be of use.

Normal lives would have to be made illegal for itt to have any effect which is pretty drastic measures to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean___John Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I'm pretty sure that if i picked one of thees knives up in a "heat of the moment" type situation, for example i saw some one chin my gran or something, then i think i could give the person a pretty good stabbing.

Revolver Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 There's a sharp bit on it, what if you turn it over so the sharp bit makes contact first? It'll make a f**king mess of someone's skin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
