Sheffield-based company Viners has produced the "Assure" range, square-ended knives which are "shaped to reduce and prevent injuries, accidents and fatalities." With knife crimes in England and Wales at their highest in a decade, a 3% increase on last year and the highest level since 2009, this new knife is intended to not be used in crimes and only in the kitchen. While anti-stabbing messages have been left on fastfood containers and a crackdown on knife crime has been tried, for which included limiting the sale of knives, so far nothing has blunted the knife based problem.

You logic is faltering again, khallow.
Ponder for a while on the difference between "any knife that doesn't have a point is useless at any moment" to "I and many others can use non-pointy knifes quite a lot, they aren't useless", maybe you'll get it. If you don't get it, no biggie, we won't make a fuss, we're already used with you following a parallel Universe logic.
