According to UK crime statistics, 214 people have been killed by a knife this year (2011). (And worryingly 4,606 people have been injured by a knife.  Of course in reality the knife is blameless, it's the hand wielding the knife, and the mentality behind the hand that does the harm.)

Shoe injuries are on the rise in the UK. (Half a dozen women are admitted to University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff during weekend evenings suffering from them. The moral of this story is that drink and stilettos don't mix.)
