the iron dwarf Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 the definition of a zombie knife in this law ( in case anyone here has not read it ) IIRC it is a knife with a blade with a serrated section with wording encouraging violence on the blade. so erase the letters and it is not banned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Pfeew! Thank the Lord. None of my steak knives have violent messages engraved on their surface. So, it seems that I am in the clear. Great Britain is blessed with public servants, (& social do-gooders), that are prepared to go the extra mile to protect Englishmen from themselves. SLAG.

Buzzkill Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Is there no one who studies history there? Banning a class of weapon merely shifts the activity to involve the use of the next best thing. Maybe if they took a look at how a number of the martial arts weapons gained prominence that would help it sink in. Many were merely repurposed (or dual purposed) farming tools which couldn't be banned if they wanted the farmers to provide them with food. What does it take for people to realize that the person wielding a tool is far more important to the outcome than the tool itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daswulf Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Just engrave the blade with "I love you to pieces" Buzzkill you are very right. I would bet that more plain old kitchen knives are used in crime then "zombie" knives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzkill Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Maybe I'll try for a new market there with blades called "The Negotiator" or "Pieceful Resolution" or maybe "Undead Lullaby." Think those would pass muster? I'll call the "bumps" on the back of the blades "scalp massagers." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Those who can, do. Those who can't do, Teach. Those who can't teach, Administrate. Nobody with marketable ability or skills would want the job of running a country and folk with such pitiful abilities and worth have to lord it over somebody to pretend to feelings of adequacy. It isn't the government's fault they stink big reeking piles of unmentionable ofal, WE elect them and WE don't make them do a proper job. Our state of gvt. is OUR fault. Okay that's as political as Frosty gets. Period. It all makes me happy Alaska is a right to carry state, I have sets of tires for both our vehicles that have a couple hundred ice pics in each tire! YES they ARE studly tires, you betcha! Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mtnstream Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 There drew he forth the brand Excalibur, And o’er him, drawing it, the winter moon, Brightening the skirts of a long cloud, ran forth And sparkled keen with frost against the hilt: For all the haft twinkled with diamond sparks, and struck down thy zombie. I guess that seals it...Excalibur is outlawed in England. Someone better tell Arthur.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockstar.esq Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Iron Dwarf, It made me laugh to see that the writing on the blade is the mitigating factor. Over hear, we'd have someone litigating on behalf of the illiterate to require that all non-Zombie knife makers put an internationally recognizable icon onto their blades to make them legal for sale. Then, as soon as knife makers comply, there will be press reports about how the knife makers exploited a "loophole" in the law to avoid the ban. Meanwhile, it's 2016 we still don't have a way for blind people to tell the monetary value of our folding currency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
