I think one of the many reasons why knife attacks are so common is because they are relatively cheap and easily accessible. You can buy them at most sport shops at an early age and there's not much age control.
The other day I watched a program on belgian tv about juvenile gangs in Liverpool and there was a kid boasting about 6 guns he had stashed in the bushes on the street he lived in. Apparently it had something to do with him protecting his territory. That coming from a snot nosed kid, who should be in bed by nine.
