Good reason not to move to the Peoples Republic of England.
Aside from the hideous idea that it is the proper role of government to intrude upon the private affairs of citizens and restrict any implements that might conceivably be misused, I find a sharp point on a knife of great utility when I cut up meat. Using a knife with the point of a bread knife only would seriously impair my ability to separate just the leg from a chicken or turkey, for example. I also contest the idea that knives cut through human flesh like a melon. I can slice open a 8" diameter melon with a single slice from an only moderately sharp kitchen knife. I can't do that to human flesh nor to beef, chicken, turkey etc. Even the knife wound they show looks to be no more than 1/4" or 1/8" deep. If your knife only left a 1/8" slash across the skin of a melon, you would sharpen it.
If it is the proper role of government to restrict implements that could conceivably be misused, then they had better also restrict axes, hatchets, sledge hammers, garden spades, beer bottles, cricket bats, bricks, golf clubs and hand saws. All axe blades shall be sold blunt with rubber padding on them. Sledge hammers shall be restricted to 8oz in weight, only round edge garden spades with rubber padding on the tip, all beer bottles will be made of soft plastic tupperware- no glass any longer, golf clubs shall have the heads permanently covered in foam padding as shall cricket bats. Never mind that you couldn't use some of the items for their intended use, safety and non-violence is the paramount concern. While we are thinking about it, lets institute curfews on all citizens and keep them indoors unless they have definite business as certified by the local constabulary. That will keep violence down.
