Locking blade, one handed operation, and blade over 3 inches are all considered extra killy features in the UK. They are each illegal.
There is a lot of knife crime in the UK.
Makes me laugh when I hear Europeans criticize our "gun violence." The murder rate in Middlesex County, Mass. or the whole of Vermont for that matter is about the same as in the UK or pretty much any other European country despite the fact we are swimming in guns. But you're much more likely to be stabbed or have your teeth kicked in in the UK than you are in Mass. or Vermont.
The UK is a violent country. Turns out it's not the weapon but the person holding it that is the problem.
