Quoting the inventor…
“It can never be a totally safe knife, but the idea is you can’t inflict a fatal wound. Nobody could just grab one out of the kitchen drawer and kill someone.”
I guess it makes sense in a country where defending yourself is a crime. This way you can’t go to jail for defending yourself with a knife since guns are banned. Next up the anti-bludgeon hard object. Seriously that island is sunk.
