Knife crime is a rising problem in the UK, with an array of teenage killings last year.Designer John Cornock has designed a kitchen knife with a specially designed blade to prevent it's use as a weapon.

Perhaps more application of intelligent design on some of our most complex problems will assist their solution? Government take note.
