Actually, depending on which statistics you believe, kitchen knives are used in something like 70% of British knife crime. Screwdrivers and craft knives make up about another 20%. Swords are used, apparently, in less than 1% of British knife (edged weapon) crime.
Of course, since handguns were banned gun crime has increased by 40% (or more).

I'm in West London as well

. Never been attacked with a knife or gun, but I have been attacked by glasses and bottles (in Soho both times).

Boddington Bilge bottles have a particularly fine temper.
Unlike their users...

When catapults are outlawed, only outlaws will have catapults.
