My favorite "tool" that is also popular among members of law enforcement is the big metal maglight. Blind your opponent with it, close distance, then snap the back end around cracking him in the head.
Will the brits ban flashlights?

And babies.

Hey, I could off someone with a baby!
When I leave my tiny non-locking pocket knife at home because I need to travel, I always think about how much more damage I could cause with my bare hands: crush someone's throat, poke an eye out, break an elbow, etc.
I think we need outlaw hands, or at least fingers.
I asked my father when I was a child why he kept a nightstick under the bed.
He said something to the effect of, "Because when your brother and you found it...you couldn't have accidentally shot/killed yourself with it."
Sage words from an elder.
I don't know what that has to do with knife banning...but...uh...there you go!
Of course...we both knew where the gun was too...

seriously.. Judo or Jiu-jitsu is the answer.
No wait we have to outlaw them toooooooo
You know, they could solve all of these problems if only they would make murder illegal. Then no one would do it anymore and they wouldn't have to worry about outlawing fingers and other WMDs.

Maybe your Bug here can join us. We can talk about burying the hatchet. You know what a hatchet is, don't you, Bug? **Bug:** It's an ax? **Buck:** Sort of, yeah, yeah. I got one in my car if you'd like to see it. **Bug:** I'll pass. **Buck:** Fair enough. I like to carry it, you never know when your going to need it. A situation may come up say for example, someone has been drinking, and about to drive a loved one home, then I'd like to know I have it. Not to kill, no. Just to maim. Take a little off the shoulder. Swish! The elbow. Slash! Shave a little meat off the old kneecap. Fowap! Ooooo! You got both kneecaps? I like to keep mine razor sharp. Sharp enough you can shave with it. Why I've been known to circumcise a gnat. You're not a gnat are you, Bug? Wait a minute, bug, gnat. Is there a little similarity? Whoa, I think there is! Ha ha ha. You understand what I'm talking about? I don't think you do. I'll be right back. Heh heh heh heh. *[walks away]* **Tia:** I'm sorry. **Bug:** Look, I think you'd better split. I don't exactly want him to go berserk with an ax on me. **Tia:** He's all talk. *[Buck pulls out a small hatchet from his car]* **Buck:** Here it is! Come over, come on, I want to show it to you. Maybe later. Okay.
Well played, sir. I forced my wife to watch that one a couple months ago. I really should own it.
On the subject of ultimate non-gun type weapons, board with a nail through it, baseball bat (plastic still on,) and chainsaw are my zombie-killing-kit faves.

can't do that.. what would I do on the weekend then? Crochet?
I actually carry a hatchet on my bike. You never know when you might need a hatchet. When you walk around with a hatchet in your hand, people tend to leave you alone, even if they're shiny happy persons. It's been quite handy over the years.

No. Crowbar.
(Edit: I can replace this with a more SFW pic, if you'd like.)
Work blocked the picture so as long as it's wife safe its good for me.

It's a pic of Gordon Freeman, explaining how he's cooler than Master Chief, because "He only needs a berkeleying crowbar."
It's funny. I played HL2 for a long time. I got pretty far. But then the game corrupted and I lost everything. I haven't played it since.
I berkeleying hate when that happens.
Weird. The Half-Life games have done a good job at minimizing the number of bugs. Did you contact Steam support? I had HL2: Episode 1 corrupt at one point, and support had the issue fixed in a day and a half and the fix auto-downloaded through Steam. Great service.
The Half-Life games rock. Best variety of enemies. Wonderful variation between levels (as opposed to the berkeleying library in Halo). Interesting puzzles. Fantastic story. A hero with a Ph.D. in Theoretical physics, a suit, and a crowbar. And the G-Man.

Yup. Political correctness run amok.
Hey, you can rub a toothbrush against concrete until it's sharp enough to kill, just ask any convict in prison. Sharpen a pencil, ditto. How about ice picks (the weapon of choice in many spy novels)? Should there be a blade length restriction on those as well?
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Sounds like the UK is copying the lead of the US. We've banned knives over three inches in many areas of the US for decades now. God help you if you accidently carry one into a school or an airport.
Box cutters aren't a good idea, here it Baltimore the cops will shoot you to death for using one on a box.
Unreasonable search and seizure. US citizens demand this, in the name of safety.
Busting someone for having a knife in their car sounds like normal living in the US. Don't carry a crescent wrench or a ratchet anywhere the driver can get to it, that's a deadly weapon in the pea-brains of many a cop, prosecuter, judge and US citizen.
its also important to keep a baseball with your baseball bat.... even if you only use it at the bating cages.
I heard that when I was a kid in SoCal, too, GlennS. But the thugs with guns don't care if you have a ball and glove with you. They will still arrest you and let you try to defend yourself later. They did that to a friend of mine in high school. Best thing is just get a gun and a concealed carry and don't worry about it. You may have to move first.
Yeah, I love how it's legal to carry a firearm (if you have a permit) but a club is illegal.

You beat me too it.

That's why it's important for you to know the law. It usually is NOT illegal for you to carry a club. The laws typically prohibit the carrying of: 1, A concealed deadly weapon, 2, With intent to do harm.
None the less most cops can't be bothered with triviality like laws, and most citizens gladly and enthusiastically submit to their abuse.
This is also why you will be baited by a cop, and you really shouldn't talk to them, like the other thread mentions. When a cop asks you about that "skull knocker down beside your seat", that's a loaded question intended to trap you. When you stupidly say something like "yea" you have now admitted to the cop that you are carrying it concealed, with intent to do harm.
Equally, be very afraid when a cop asks you to put it away. For as soon as you do, it becomes concealed, a violation of point 1. Many a friend of mine has promptly been arrested at that point by the cop that asked them to "just tuck that knife/wrench/screwdriver/etc away". The intent part is implicit, that's the reason the cop is there. And that will frequently stand up in court.

that's a scary thought. As a stage electrician, one of the tools I am required to carry is a Cresecent Wrench (I can be fined by the Union for going to a job without it)
I actually usually have two on me. An 8 inch black chromed one that hangs in a modified maglight pouch on my belt and a smaller 6 inch that fits in behind the pouch that holds by flashlight and my Gerber Suspension.
Does that mean I am carrying three weapons?
you're obviously a HUGE danger to society mad_machine
I carry TWO flat hehad screw drivers in my door pocet in my car, I need those to open my trunk till i get the lock cilinder fixed or a new trunk release cable. Reminds me to apply for my hand gun permit.
