If the knife is properly sharp - I imagine it would be a better way to go. You just bleed. I keep my blades real sharp. Your average thug keeps his pigsticker in letter-opener territory. It's your higher grade of psychopath who bothers to maintain a fine edge. The kind of guy who always had an interest in ob-gyn surgery. Me - I like to cook. Getting shot - I've seen pictures of what bullets are meant to do. Blunt trauma of the worst sort. It is bound to hurt as bad as a heart attack. It could be argued that it is this nastiness which gives the gun its deterrent value.

My husband, whose mother was German, claims that in Germany the weapon of choice for wives is - - the frying pan! Shades of the Katzenjammer Kids!! (Are you old enough to remember the Katzenjammer Kids?)

X, can you find any actual statistics for homicide by knife in Britain? I have looked several times on the web, including this evening, and have never been able to find anything. I would really doubt that knife murders are really very prevalent, because it is much more difficult and in-your-face to kill someone with a knife, and also because America is simply an extremely violent nation, all around. But I would certainly be interested in seeing some statistics.
