Bladed weapons can do a lot of damage.
But how does that mean that bladed arts, on a practical level, have any value in the UK if everything is outlawed? Surely, that just re-enforces the original post that in day to day life there is no practical worth, because in the UK blades are illegal? The only way your point makes sense is if you are advocating the carry and use of illegal weapons.
