Asda is to stop selling single kitchen knives by the end of April amid rising concerns about UK knife crime. Nick Jones, Asda senior vice-president, said the company had "a responsibility to support the communities we serve". The supermarket chain will continue to sell multipacks of knives. Poundland announced last year that it would remove kitchen knives from all stores. At least 39 people have been killed in stabbings in the UK this year.

Any retailers efforts to remove single kitchen knives are with good intentions however; would someone who wishes to purchase a knife for the purpose of harm not just then simply buy a multi-pack?......Surely better to tackle the route causes which lay in society and/or by contributing to community projects that target these issues. Removal of single knives will do little if anything to prevent.

Thoughts on this move by ASDA? Likely to help solve the knife crime problem or just a PR stunt / gesture?

I am afraid that this move by a large Grocery store will not make any or much change in the occurrence or reduction of knife crime. For the average home kitchen likely contains a variety of knives of several sizes , that are necessary for food preparation such as for carving and cutting. (That is also one of the reasons why Police attending Domestic Violence complaint locations, do not choose to talk with either suspects or their victims in a kitchen !)

A major step forward, I hope other stockists take note. Its not always about business, sometimes you have to look at the bigger picture
