Mitchell Caught with Knife

His Mum?

 

That will be a 1st,.....for the police I mean

 

What woud he need a knife for if hes in a car....surely he'd just drive over, or anyway from any ****s lookin to rob him? :huh

 

I grew up off Rushey Green, Catford.

 

Keep this up and you night get Funniest poster of the year :yep

 

Bit of an over-reaction don't you think there?? I think a few have over-reacted in this thread, the knife could have been there for any number of reasons and I highly highly doubt it was there for his '' protection ''.

 

just thank god old bill dont have the bottle to ever search one of my motors

would find all sorts

 

Yeah, it was for peeling apples.

 

Good old '' ESB joke ''.

 

Sorry, I couldn't help it. I seriously doubt that Mitchell had any intention to do harm with a blade, but I can't think of any valid reason why he had a butterfly knife in his car.

He doesn't seem a bad lad, hardly a career criminal. At 27 years old, though, he really should know better.

 

What other use is there of a butterly knife? It's hardly what a cub scout carries around.

 

You can't buy them in hardware stores, or outdoor stores. You probably need to go specialist websites like "Combat Knives-U-Like", or something.

It didn't accidentaly get into his car either, he knew it was there. You would have thought being known to the police for chav related behaviour would have made him think twice about it.

I understand that some boxers may get into trouble with the authorities from time to time, just like any other profession, but it all seems just a bit stupid with Kevin Mitchell.

 

What other uses could a knife have?

what a silly question...

1. Cut Drywall
If you use a utility knife only to cut drywall, then you're getting your money's worth out of the tool. The knife's blade, which is super-sharp and very rigid, is perfectly engineered for slicing through drywall's thick paper face and into its abrasive gypsum core.

Tip: When cutting drywall, be sure to guide the knife's blade along a T-square or other straightedge. Cut into the front of the sheet--1/8 to 1/4 in. is deep enough--then bend the sheet to snap it along the cut line. Separate the two pieces by using the knife to slice though the paper on the backside of the sheet. Now use the knife to quickly shave the rough-cut edges until they're relatively smooth.

2. Trim Roof Shingles
There's no easy way to cut asphalt roof shingles. The top surface is covered with rock-hard mineral granules, and the asphalt-saturated core is thick and fibrous. Nothing dulls a knife, a saw or snips quicker than asphalt shingles. However, a utility knife slices asphalt shingles with relative ease, if you know how to use it.

Tip: Flip the shingle over and cut along its back surface, which is smooth and free of abrasive granules. Don't try to slice all the way through the shingle; it's too tough and you'll dull the blade. Instead, score the surface, then bend the shingle, and it'll snap cleanly along the scored line.

3. Slice Fiberglass Insulation
The sharp blade of a utility knife will easily slice through fiberglass insulation and its Kraft paper or foil-faced vapor barrier.

Tip: You may find the blade is too short to cut completely through the thick fiberglass batt. To solve this problem, lay a straight-edged board across the batt, and then kneel on the board to compress the fiberglass. Now slice through the squashed batt by guiding the knife's blade along the edge of the board. By the way, for the straight-edged board, you can use a 1 x 4 or 1 x 6, a rip of plywood, or even a 2 x 4 or 2 x 6. Just be sure the board is at least 8 in. longer than the width of the fiberglass batts.

4. Cut Vinyl Flooring
The installation of vinyl resilient sheet flooring has always been a popular do-it-yourself project. And thanks to today's new floating-floor vinyl sheets, which aren't glued down, that DIY trend is likely to continue. The only tricky part of installing vinyl sheet flooring is accurately cutting it to fit the room. One wrong slice can ruin the whole sheet.

Tip: The easiest way to cut vinyl flooring is with a utility knife, but only after making one small modification: replace the standard straight blade with a hooked blade. To cut the sheet, simply hook the blade over the edge of the flooring and pull. The sharpened hook will easily slice through vinyl without cutting into the subfloor below.

5. Expose popped nail heads
If the interior of your home is finished with drywall, chances are you've got a few popped nails or screws visible on walls and ceilings. The best way to fix this problem is to first use a utility knife to expose the head of the popped fastener. Use the pointed tip of the knife blade to carve away the joint compound from around the popped head. Once the head of the fastener is exposed, you'll be able to tell if it's a nail or a screw.

Tip: For popped nails, use a hammer and nail set to drive the head deep into the wall stud or ceiling joist. (Trying to yank the nail might damage the surrounding surface.) Next, drive a 1-5/8-in. drywall screw into the stud or joist a couple of inches above and below the old nail. Patch the repair with joint compound. If the popped fastener is a drywall screw, use a drill/driver to remove it. Then, drive a 1-5/8-in. drywall screw a couple of inches above and below the old screw hole, and into a stud or joist. Patch the repair with joint compound.

6. Slit door in plastic sheeting
It's smart to seal off doorways when remodeling a room, especially if the work will create a lot of dust or smelly odors. However, you still need an easy way to get in and out of the room. Here's one trick: Tape clear polyethylene sheeting over all doorways, then use a utility knife to slit a "door" through one of the sealed doorways.

Tip: Slit the plastic along the two vertical edges and the bottom horizontal end to create a hanging flap. Then, for an extra measure of dust protection, cut another piece of plastic sheeting slightly larger than the just-cut doorway, and tape it over the flap.

7. Split shims
The easiest way to trim wood shims to size is with a utility knife.

Tip: Stand the shim vertically on the floor or other stable surface, with its thick butt edge down and the thin edge facing up. Set the knife blade onto the thin edge at the desired width, and press down. The beveled edge of the sharp blade will split the shim in two, usually before the blade reaches the butt edge.

8. Whittle a plug for a stripped hinge screw
When a hinge screw becomes so badly stripped that you can no longer tighten it, reach for your utility knife.

Tip: Take a scrap of wood or length of dowel rod and use the knife to whittle down a long, tapering wood plug. Cut the plug about 3 or 4 in. long; it should look somewhat like a long, thick golf tee. Smear glue onto the plug, and tap it into the stripped hole with a hammer. Then use the utility knife to score all around the plug. Tap down on the protruding end of the plug to break it off flush with the hinge leaf. Allow the glue to dry for an hour or so, then drill a small pilot hole and replace the hinge screw.

9. Slice veneer before cutting
Before using a circular saw to cut a sheet of hardwood-veneer plywood or a veneered door, use your utility knife as a guide.

Tip: Take your knife and score a line along the outer edge of the cut line. Apply just enough pressure on the knife to slice through the top veneer layer. Now, when the saw blade passes through, the veneer will break off cleanly at the scored line, leaving behind a splinter-free edge.

Nice attempt at being clever/funny but next time get an adult to read the question. This isn’t a DIY knife available at Focus.
