Should think not. A normal cutlery eating knife could be an offensive weapon if used by a horror like Vickrum Digwa in a certain way - & u wouldn't make people eat just with spoons (an eating fork could be an offensive weapon also in those circumstances).
Keir Starmer has stated that he does not support banning the Kirpan, noting that UK law permits baptised (Amritdhari) Sikhs to carry it as part of their religious practice.
A key issue is how authorities determine whether a person carrying a Kirpan is an Amritdhari Sikh and therefore eligible for the exemption.
And will it be blunt or sharp
If there is no reliable method of verification, questions arise about consistent enforcement. The focus should be on balancing religious freedom with laws that are clear, enforceable, and applied equally.
What verification process, if any, currently exists?
