FabSwingers.com forum: Knife Culture!!!

It's getting beyond a joke in this country!!

Tonight we've had 3 youths arrested for possession of knives, 1 lad was only 12 and the knife he was found to be carrying was almost bigger than him

What's the obsession with carrying offensive weapons now??

I never remember it being this bad when I was a teen.

It is terrible but some see it as some kind of status symbol. It didnt happen when i was growing up but there was plenty of it with adults in the 60's. There was fights when i was growing up but they where what i call normal fights, one on one using fists not one gang jumping on an individual.

I remember growing up it was more one on one with fists but not carrying huge kitchen knives.

It's just mental.

They will use them as well....a family owned business not far from me, closed after 50 years as the youngest son, had his face slashed with a knife, all because the key he had cut in the shop the previous day didnt work, he gave the guy no chance to re cut a new key and slashed his face....37 stitches and scarred for life.

I just looked at your profile.

I'm old enough to be your dad, so I was actually there in those olden idyliic days of which you speak, and I have to tell you something...

... we carried *much* better knives than the kitchenware crap these kids carry today, we carried *proper* knives.

Tell you something else, the generation before me, open razors, flip the blade back over the hand, ram it into your face and twist so the edges of the blade break off deep inside the bone.

the so called "mean streets" of today are a fucking kindergarten, and the headlines of which you speak in horror serve their purpose, which is to keep the sheeple scared, and not noticing what really matters...

When we were in a city centre bar the thought of a knife was always at the front of your mind when breaking up fights

When I was a kid we had a sheath knife as part of the scout uniform. Learned it was a tool and used it as such.

Seems to me the more they have been frowned on the more people use them for weapons.

I think the knife crime is the same through the years, just now it is reported a lot more.

I know how bad it can get with having a machete buried in my forehead at 22 but that was working security and the bloke that did it was an escapee from a nut house.

It's dangerous just going for a quiet drink now, look at someone in away they don't like and that's all it takes.

It is a big problem, but does depend on where you live in the country to a certain extent....

I disagree. There is far more cases of crimes involving knives and youths. It was almost unheard of when i was a kid. There was gang culture for sure but rarely weapons used. When i was growing up if you used a weapon to fight then you were a coward.

Depends where you live these days. Not going to get into the discussion of where and how and why though...

Sometimes I had a penknife in ma pocket, but when I upgraded to a Swiss Army Knife it was too heavy and kept pulling ma shorts down

Seriously though some people are not right in the head, knife/gun culture is with us and will continue to be for the foreseeable future I'm afraid

As Rusty said fistycuffs in a car park, one on one used to be the order of the day. When you're down you're down, end of
