Knives are tools and often made of metal

I'd be interested in learning what they consider a "knife crime." In
the UK, mere possession of most knives is a crime. They recently passed
legislation requiring all kitchen (chef, butcher, steak) knives to have
blunt tips so they couldn't be used for stabbing. Municipal buses sport
messages extolling citizens to turn in their knives to the authorities.
It's gotten truly crazy.

I no longer ship my knives to any part of the UK for this reason.
