If your family is the sort where people run to the kitchen to arm themselves every time an argument gets heated, then the New Point anti-stab knife just might save your (or another person’s) life.

Mr Cornock, 42, from Swindon, said that the knife will cut vegetables, but will make it almost impossible to stab someone to death and will reduce the risk of accidental injuries.

He said: “It can never be a totally safe knife, but the idea is you can’t inflict a fatal wound. Nobody could just grab one out of the kitchen drawer and kill someone.

While knife violence might be escalating in some countries, I don’t quite see how having a knife that makes cooking harder is going to have an impact on the overall death toll. [Gizmodo via Geekologie]
