This is all being thrown into focus by the campaign to ban zombie knives and machetes. What difference would this make if you can buy equally deadly kitchen knives? A couple of years ago I was 30 yards from a murder carried out with a machete. I'm certain the result would have been the same if the killer had used a big Sabatier. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-61607344
I sometimes wonder how much kitchen knife fandom is linked to the weapon aspect. Does anyone understand the psychology? And what about the gender balance? Are women as interested in the minutiae of knife design and construction?
