UK Knife Law (Edged Tools)

[Corso]

There is no 'buying law'

Thanks David for mentioning the often questioned fact that under 18 year-olds may buy and carry sub three inch folders, except at school and some other places as with older people.

Thing is though, a retailer is quite within his/her rights to choose not to sell any knife to someone of any age.

Complain all you may, if they won't sell they cannot be compelled to.

I think for many of them it's just too much hassle, so they just state clearly that will not sell any knife to anyone under eighteen.
