Comment on Southport attack survivor calls for kitchen knives to be blunt tipped

Like in a Taylor Swift dance class?

Leanne Lucas, 36, was critically injured in the attack at the Taylor Swift-themed dance class she was leading during last year’s school summer holidays.

There are a ton of things in a kitchen where a point is needed to cut things. Requiring the blunts to be dull means a lot of home sharpening so the knives are useful in the kitchen. Her emotional reaction is valid, but the proposed solution is stupid.

Not sure what your point is here? We all know what the Southport attack was.

  The article is about a victim of the Southport attack advocating for dull kitchen knives in the kitchen.
  
  “When this idea about the blunt-tip knives came in I just thought: this is a no-brainer, I don’t understand why our kitchen isn’t safer in the first place,” she said.

    There was certainly a ‘no-brain’ somewhere in her thought process, I’ll grant her that.
