On the Small Island they love to ban things due to all the knife attacks. They do regulate gardening tools as well.
Problem is the overwhelming majority of the knife attacks happen with kitchen knives. Like 80% or so. These with box cutters and chisels cover about 98% of all attacks. Not even pocket knives.
So a machete attack is like once in a blue moon considering, but that potentially could make the news, so the MPs regulate these.
Can't really ban kitchen knives. Tho wouldn't make a difference for England's cuisine.
