That said I don't really think the issues relate to each other.

Many years ago as a butcher for Dewhursts I was frequently sent to other outlets as a relief, holidays sickness etc.
We all had our own issue knives, just like chefs you keep your own knives and look after them yourself.
Obviously they would normally remain at your usual outlet but when going on relief had to be carried with you. There were strict rules on that. A thick tape was applied to the cutting edge to essentially render it blunt while travelling. They had to be in either bound in a "knife wrap" or case so as not to be readily available and the police would be informed of the starting point and time of journey, route and eta at the destination.
