WHEN IS IT LEGAL TO CARRY KNIVES IN THE UK?
With incidents of knife crime soaring by 80% between 2014 and 2019, it***8217;s vital that those working in the food industry stay within the law. But if you***8217;re a butcher or chef it***8217;s almost certain you***8217;ll need to carry the tools of your trade with you at some point. But what knives are legal to carry in the UK?
Section 139 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 prohibits carrying an article with blade or point, in a public place, including a folding pocket knife if the cutting edge of its blade exceeds 3 inches. All of which seems pretty clear cut.
However there are circumstances when it***8217;s possible to carry a knife and stay within the law. For example members of the Sikh community are allowed to carry a kirpan (a small dagger) for religious reasons. The sgian dubh (a single-edged knife) is also permitted to be carried by those wearing traditional Scottish Highland dress.
But for those who use knives as part of their working lives, there is the defence of ***8216;good reason or lawful authority***8217;.
Jacob Greys, communications specialist with Gwent Police, told us: ***8220;Ultimately it is about the context. If a chef is on their way to work and can prove that their occupation is a chef, then they are less likely to have a problem.
***8220;Officers would have to be satisfied that the individual carrying the article has good reason or lawful authority for having the article in a public space. The person would need to prove that they had the article on them for the use of work.***8221;
For instance, if the individual were to enter a crowded place such as a club while carrying a chef***8217;s knife, Mr Greys told us, ***8220;officers would need to look into the reason an individual was in a nightclub with knives.***8221;...
IS THIS THE FUTURE OF CHEF KNIVES?
Recently, Liverpool-based manufacturer Rayware have developed a new range of kitchen knives due on the market in January next year.
Viners Assure safety knives are, according to head of product marketing, Kate O***8217;Neill, ***8220;impossible to stab someone with***8221;.
The company, who used 3D printing technology to create the prototypes, said the rising number of reports on knife crime inspired them to create a range that could be sold safely in shops.
So is this the future for kitchen knives?
Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, Professor John Ashton, an advisor to Merseyside***8217;s Police and Crime Commissioner, said he believed it has the potential, ***8220;to make a significant contribution to knife safety within the home and the wider community.***8221;

I know you're a snowflake, Juggs. No conservative retard - to be redundant - can face the consequences of their politics.

What the **** are you babbling about, Absent? Do you actually think posting pictures that, I am sure the families would be horrified to see in public, accomplishes anything but proving what a loser you are?

IDK, if my kids were shot up due to conservative policies, I'd like for conservatives to actually have to face the results.

That's why the US will have another one next week, because the libs just want to divert attention from countries that have bigger mass shooting problems, like Serbia.
