As I mentioned in the other comment, in the last decade 2500 people have died due to stabbings in the UK. For comparison 1700 people died in car accidents in 2023 alone. Its still a very rare albeit tragic cause of death.

I refute the idea that the UK is higher than the rest of the world. Its not a utopia by any means but the number of stabbing-related fatalities is lower than France, Germany and Spain alone. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/stabbing-deaths-by-country
