The difference between a combat knife and a stick.

They are all armed, but one is a wooden stick and the other is a control knife. The stick is out of control, and the knife can't be carried with you. Of course, the harmful consequences caused by using the knife are great. There are also differences in conviction and sentencing. The judge will combine the tools of the suspect to comprehensively judge the subjective aspects of the crime. Because the lethality of a stick is obviously less than that of a knife, it is generally considered as intentional injury, and holding a knife may be considered as intentional homicide.

Legal basis:

Article 234 of the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance. Whoever commits the crime mentioned in the preceding paragraph and causes serious injuries shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years; Whoever causes death or serious disability by particularly cruel means shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years, life imprisonment or death. Where there are other provisions in this Law, such provisions shall prevail.
