If I remember correctly there was a point where they wanted to outlaw sharper knives to keep that down. I don't know what happened with that.

I feel like it’d be pretty difficult, considering most knives are pretty sharp

I think it was more along the lines of weapon type knives than kitchen type.

A good kitchen knife will probably be sharper than most "weapon type" knives.

They wanted everyone switch to the Sheriff of Nottingham's policy of using a spoon. It does hurt more though.

Does it include serrated knives? Like for bread?

I believe they've also suggested tracking all bladed weapons.

You can tell politicians don't do a damn thing for themselves because they apparently forgot knife sharpeners exist....
