UK lawmakers apparently just LOVE to ban objects instead of making an honest effort to address the underlying causes of violent crime. Recently (as of April/May 2023) there has been talk about wanting to prohibit machetes in the UK, which is just ridiculous in my opinion.

What's the result of all the restrictive knife laws? More kitchen knives used in criminal attacks... a LOT more. Including taking it a step further... in Durham police seized what I'd describe as homemade war picks. Kitchen knives taped to the end of long handles. So I figured it might be educational (and entertaining) to see just how effective this kind of "workaround" might be.

I also tested what a "harmless" tool does (screwdriver).
