Why do people have 20cm survival knives lying around their house? Is he a hunter?

@reckless, yes my lad is 21 and he lives with me, the cost of getting a house is very difficult here in the UK you need such a large deposit to put down before the banks will look at you, and another relation still lives with his mum and dad and he's 37, he's moved out and poor or unstable relations with his girl friends and then moved back in. as for stabbing your dad in the back and killing him, well I would say he's off to prison for a long time, what a stupid move.
