Southport stabbings survivor launches campaign to end use of traditional kitchen knives
In one of her first television interviews since the July 2024 attack, Leanne Lucas, 36, tells Sky News it was the "tip of the knife" that caused injuries that led to her "nearly dying".
"I don't want this pain and this trauma that any of us have felt, I don't want that to happen to another family," Ms Lucas says.
Her new campaign, launched today, is called Let's Be Blunt and aims to "raise social awareness" of safer-tipped knives.

kkkkk
"[I] will not let evil win. I need to know that I'm doing this for the girls, for myself and for future generations," she says.
"We don't need to wait for government or the police to tell us what to do,"
"like I've just had my eyes opened" to how "domestic tools can be weaponised".
"I personally feel that knife crime has got out of control," she adds.
lost it right here
Ms Lucas says "since the attack in the summer," she has never "cooked with a pointed kitchen knife again" and that using a blunt-tipped knife makes her feel "safer".
"If I can show them that there's hope and that real change came from what happened to us… If I can do that, then that's what I'll do."
this has to be satire
