Classic media frenzy I'm afraid. Yes in big cities there are gangs and knives. The media did a great job of making this into something it isn't.
Away from the big cities it's less of an issue. People don't habitually carry knives here.
Nobody has ever pulled a knife on me in my career. Whilst I'm wary of the prospect I don't let it govern how I approach people.
It might be something to have a knife brandished but it's a whole different world for somebody to then use it on me.
