Abstract
Nowadays attacks or threats with knives are being reported regularly. Special occupational groups, such as taxi or bus drivers and teachers, must be aware of the danger to experience such an assault themselves. Even children and young adults often use knives as weapons. Additionally, knives are also dangerous when being used as tools. Nearly half of all accidents with hand tools are stab or cut injuries due to weapons (Winkler 2005).
