For a 16 year old to do that it's more about how they were brought up rather than an increased deterrent IMO. Family break-ups, no family to start with, no role-models, no discipline, no ground rules or limits, every day access to some horrendous violence in films, TV and video games. Some of that must contribute.
Of course this particular one could just be an emerging psychopath.

I would like to see mandatory prison sentences for everyone unlawfully carrying a knife
non sequitur of the week ( and a newcomer to the contest as well). This was the kids first offence innit?
(oh I see: when he is dressing, he sees the blade on the dressing table and thinks: "leave that at home tonight, never know if I meet a girl I wanna stab")

The problem with knives is the misplaced notion of 'respect' that young lads think they achieve by carrying a weapon.
Of course, in heated arguments, knives get waved around, and that's a very short step to adrenaline-fuelled rage taking over, and knives get used, often fatally.
The way to stop it is to educate young people that respect is earned by personal attitudes, not fear of violence.
But of course, it's not sexy enough for the government to put time and money into it, apart from the usual bleating about 'our children ...' which does nothing to actually address the problem.

And stiff mandatory sentences.
Say 1st offence carrying min 2 years, subsequent 5.
Use the knife, including waving it, 5 years min 1st offence 10 subsequent.
ABH with a knife you bought to the scene 10 years min, 20 years subsequent.
Kill with a knife you bough to the scene, for any reason, real actual life - no parole.
And I mean minimum not this soft hand 5 years do 2.
Tough on crime should be the mantra.
Build a few more jails if we have to but I suspect the bravado will wane pretty quickly once they see mates banged up for good periods.

No point in allowing stiffer sentences when the ultra-soft judges ignore them. In the following case the maximum sentence was recently upped from 14 years to Life but the softee judge Paul Cook only gave the evil savage 10 years.
