What’s the issue with the knife ban?

View on HN

You need to be 18+ and present ID to buy a kitchen knife. Or even scissors.

The alternative would be selling pre-sliced food like most Asian countries.

Anticipating news of someone being spooned to death.

Not scissors. Or folding pocket knives <3ins long.

I see, probably the person I got this info from encountered an overzealous seller. Which is not unusual, Lidl in Poland requires ID to but non-alcoholic beer. Literally nobody else does that.

Stabbings are... good?
