Anti Stabbing Knife Developed.

You hear it all the time in the news of someone being fatally stabbed. What if I were to tell you that England has developed a knife that cannot stab anything? This new knife has a redesigned blade that prohibits any stabbing action but still retains the ability to cut things.

The knife has a blunt "upper protrusion" with a rounded edge which acts as a protection barrier for the sharp blade. Also, it has a small undercut that snags on to clothes, skin or tissue.

The sharp point below is used as a standard knife point but with limited penetration. An ergonomic handle also reduces the aggressiveness of the sharp knife.

The common kitchen knife has not been changed for centuries so it's good to see that civilization is introducing a safer alternative for modern times.

Knives obviously can never be totally safe, but the fact that it can never cause a fatal wound will allow many people to sleep well at night. This knife would prevent people from just grabbing a kitchen knife and killing someone.
