Sorry Shaun, heat of the moment and all that you know. 

Doctors are very seriously calling for a ban on all /long pointed/
kitchen knives, long blunt bread knives would still be allowed.
Although, one government authority points out that a majority of
/kitchen/ knife attacks are done with knive that are closer to steak
knives.

These particular doctors are claiming that the typical 'chopping' type
kitchen knive is completely unnecessary.

The next step, is a law mandating that the only allowable kitchen
utensil will be the plastic 'spork'. 

Still, it is a bit of absurdity.
