When Weapons are Illegal, so you make Kitchen Knives Instead
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- When Germany outlawed most knives in 2002 with section 42a of the Weapons Act, knifemakers in the city of Solingen responded with new tools that worked around the rules. Eickhorn, a manufacturer of military knives, combat knives, daggers, and bayonets since the 19th century, introduced a line of kitchen knives inspired by their more tactical offerings. The Eickhorn SEK and Eickhorn KM 2000 became innocent kitchen knives, rather than dedicated weapons.

The messer probably was more of a guild thing. Not everyone was allowed to make swords. The kitchen knife line is more profiting from the popularity of the originals. The SEK II is legal to carry in Germany.
You can carry knives in Germany for self defense. He is simply wrong.
What knives?
Criminals forgot that murder and theft are crimes so they had to make weapons ilegal, maybe they'll remember this time.

Currently our home security minister is trying to ban us from even owning these knifes and prevent us from carrying any knife with a blade longer than 6cm. Also we have so called weapon free zones (mostly in inner cities or translations) in which not even 6cm would be allowed. In those zones police could charge you for any item the would personally consider as a weapon. The real criminals don't care and carry butterfly knifes (outlawed in Germany since the 2000s) or machetes, but the German police is too scared of them to do something about it.
Perhaps you should make the police afraid of you and your neighbors as well then.

Criminals ignore laws...
if an innocent person has a knife for self defense they're crazy apparently, disregarding that they're one of the oldest tools known to man and have vast uses outside of murder, and as you said it isn't like the criminals aren't going to carry knifes because the law told them to.
protects the guilty, punishes the innocent that want protection from the former.
the argument is "let the police handle it" but police can't be everywhere and they sure as fuck aren't going to be there the moment you need them the most
But, but that's criminal...
Sigh.... Yes, you are a smart one, i see. But criminals breaking a law (which is what makes them criminals in the first place) can be persecuted. Knives can be taken away. The intent of carrying knife, if criminal, is criminal. It's not rocket science. By your logic: Shouldn't we then just shrug and abolish all laws? After all, criminals don't follow them anyways.
Other than that, an actually smart criticism would have been to point out that the law already existed that allowed to specifically ban individuals from carrying or even possessing objects that are suitable to be used as weapons, like these knives, after they came into conflict with the law. That makes this change of the law a pretty needless PR stunt that they could have spared if they just asked the responsible departments to make use of individual prohibitions more. Yes, they can still illegally carry a knife then, but they better not get caught.

Just a few days ago there was a knife attack in Solingen, where a few people were killed...
to be fair, I'd probably still get stabbed and bleed to death if I get into a knife fight. Even if I brought my own. just means the other guy can join me on the ambulance.
Knives are very poor self defense weapons, because to use one, you have to get within range of your opponent's knife. They also tend not to immediately disable, allowing the other guy to get in a few actions after being hit, before being disabled.
If im not carrying my firearm, I carry an 26inch ASP baton and a can of oc spray. That combo has served me well, F a fair fight, that mentality is how I got my throat cut.
While true, weapon is not the only function of a knife.
I carry a small one as a tool
@@dustydesertdisciple6290 cool, the baton at least is not legal to carry in germany. And the spray will get you in trouble if the police officer is a dick
If you pull out a knife, the other person knows they are probably going to get cut too, and will probably disengage. The fight just doesn't happen.
Maybe the Germans should tell all the “newcomers” that knife crime is illegal.

Coming from a US state that has _very_ lenient knife laws, I find it completely ridiculous that any knife, or any other bladed implement, either for utility or combat, would be prohibited.

Yep. A lot of the states allow almost any knife. I can carry a switchblade, butterfly, gravity knife, claymore, whatever. Of course any of those would only be a backup for my pistol...There is a tiny fraction of the US that want to change that, but it isn't happening anytime soon!

I was hoping for a while that some of the bigger knifetubers would make some videos on knife history or vids on how some of the knife companies built their brands. This dude has blown up pretty quick, especially in the knifetuber world.
Sweden has similar laws on carrying knives. You can’t carry a knife in public unless you’re going to use it as a tool or for food prep. So craftsmen and construction workers, going to a picnic/outdoor cooking, camping all fine. But you can not carry a knife for self Defense or “just in case”.
In practice this means the less threatening the knife looks and the more you act like you need it for something useful. Police aren’t going to stop you. And also not hanging around schools with a knife is a good idea.
Sounds like Australia has the same law as Sweden.
I just out criminals were more law abiding, too.
The swedish knife law isn't about knifes in particular actually. It's complicaded. The law states that you can't carry "dangerous objects" in public. And it is a lot focus on intent and context. The law is made so that the police can take you if you carry a screwdriver, sharp stone, hammer or whatever really, in the wrong place at the wrong time. So: a screwdriver in the pocket out on the town a friday night = prison. A screwdriver in a toolbag you're carrying a thursday morning = no problem. A big knife in a picnickbag for cutting your melon = ok. A big knife in your computerbag at work =bad idea.
Edit: So I am agreeing with fnyquist8779, just adding that the law covers more than just knives, and it is quite tricky for a swede to know if you're carrying someting legaly or not.
@@Klotrik Yes there are also some types of knives that are explicitly banned to carry. Like Stilettos, switchblades and Balisongs. There are also restrictions on selling those knives.
You can also carry knives in Germany for self defense. I have no clue where this guy gets his information.

Well this hits different after the stabbing incident in Solingen yesterday.
they want to make sure criminals are safe when they st.b innocent people
In Germany, attempts are now being made to reduce the length of permitted knives from 12 cm to 6 cm. This is because of the high number of criminals who carry knives and an incident where yet another police officer was stabbed and died. Just as a reference in Germany, police officers are usually deployed in teams of two and are equipped with firearms and non-lethal weapons.
They should ban murder in response to increasing murder rates

My boss is a chef and knows a bunch of chefs all across the US and one of these chef friends was from California one day his friend decided to take his chefs knives home to sharpen them but on his way got pulled over and when the cops saw the knives sitting in the back of his car and arrested him and charged him with possession of illegal weapons
I hope those criminals remember to uphold the law.
The appreciation of the "danger" is left to the police officer. So if you carry a 30cm blade in Germany, like the one at 04:15, even if it is sharp on one side only, you'll definitely be in trouble...

While Solingen used to be the city of blades, Germany's knife laws (and a couple other economic decisions) have long since destroyed the native knife industry.
Just look at the stuff Eickhorn sells. Their handles are basically all glass-filled nylon and their common blade steels are "Professional" (440A), "Professional Plus" (440C) and "Professional Enhanced" (D2).
Now I'm not one of those knife snobs that's gonna tell you that GFN is colored garbage and 440A bends in a stiff breeze, these materials all have their place and use...BUT you *have* to price your products accordingly...and that's just not happening.
Eickhorn's GFN/440A knives start at like a 100 bucks, if you want GFN/440C you're looking at 200+.
Try telling an American your GFN/440C knife costs 200+ and watch him die from laughter.
Not all local companies are this overpriced (though the ones with acceptable prices tend to have shit QC), but in general you're just better off importing.
Sad that one of the knife capitals of the world has some of the worst knife law. You have to choose between a locking folder or a one-hand opening folder (but you can't have both in one knife)?!
What's even sadder is the fact that these knife laws only hurt law-abiding citizens and all of the "newcomers" that invade can carry whatever they want!
It looks like the anti-knife legislation in Germany is working perfectly! When I look at the statistics of knife attacks or read the headlines of the last few days, it is clear that the restrictions and bans are bearing fruit. Or not? :D In the Czech Republic, we have virtually no restrictions on carrying any knives (except for the ban on demonstrations, football, etc.), yet we have a fraction of knife attacks compared to Germany or completely knife-free Britain.

The original fighting knives here in North America during the colonial, and frontier periods were basically indistinguishable from kitchen knives. There was no difference. In my part of the country, during the Revolutionary War (1770s-'80s), and the War of 1812, both Native American warriors and American militia members alike, carried butcher knives as side-arms with their gun and tomahawk. So, in a sense, this is actually a very old tradition!
