    Could rounded kitchen knives help curb knife crime? New research suggests they might.

    A study from De Montfort University found that round-edged blades failed to penetrate common clothing materials like cotton and denim, even after 1,200 repeated stabbing attempts. In contrast, traditionally sharp knives easily cut through the fabrics.

    This research builds upon previous work by forensic scientist Leisa Nichols-Drew, who first explored the link between blade tip shape and clothing damage in 2020. These preliminary findings indicate that round-edged knives could offer a safer alternative, potentially reducing injuries and saving lives.
