No, you weren't misleading at all, Snazy, I just didn't read your post properly.

So - flippin' 'eck: that's the knives that have been handed in voluntarily??? The number that have been confiscated must be mind-boggling! And the number that are still out there? Doesn't bear thinking about.

Still, I mustn't scaremonger. I suppose with a bit of common sense about where you go and at what time of day and who your 'friends' are then I suppose the vast majority of us will never have the misfortune to see the business end of one of those.
