When I return home this afternoon, I'll scan and upload here. There is one more single page doc (not too many words) that seems to be for the guidance of police. Still interesting to me as I want to know what'll happen in the future. Please reserve all your anger for the authorities... I'm just...

Officer said that the saw back made it so. So desperately wanted to say, "I guess that makes shoulder launched Stingers a complete no no?". Then thought about the cost of replacing my front door.

Outcome #2 Okay then... bottom line, the police will keep the BMF. It cannot be returned to me and I will receive zero compensation. You can stop reading here if the details are too tedious :) Remember, my main concern was for this not to fall into the wrong hands, and that I don't have it on...

A Slip Under the Microscope by H. G. Wells

Didn't know that Herman30. Thanks.

Well written Sidpost. There's hardly anything others have written that I disagree with, including your post. The whole thing was too rushed. They should've consulted actual knife owners/users on this matter. Yes, the BMF saw back is ridiculous, but the blade had the heft I required at the time...

Agreed. This current ban seems to be about image and appearance. What about daggers, designed with the single purpose of ending a life? Are they still legal? If so, that in itself is nuts. Horses scare me.

Thanks mate. See my latest reply to the thread.

Thanks. That's the bit I forgot to look at until today. Please, everyone, if this is too drawn out for you, just skip it and read another thread. I know it's dragging on :) You don't have to read any of this. Now for the weird but positive development: I visited the Police Station again this...

Thanks. Just a lack of patience really, and that I hate government paperwork... and the idea of being arrested :) But I do want to provide feedback so everyone knows what to expect when round two of even newer knife laws start.

OUTCOME Firstly, couldn't care less about the money anymore. Wanted to surrender it to the police station, which I did today, just so that I could come back here with the result. I knew it was a gamble, but what the hell. For the sake of £100 it's worth it. Included: 1. Home Office form...

Good point. Thanks. Edited my previous post to mean 'post Hungerford'. A turning point for the UK.

Back then (post Hungerford) what happened to those who had valuable 'items', perhaps by fluke, inheritance or rarity, but no receipt? Many folk used to chuck paper receipts, before the Internet and email receipts became a thing.

I never do. Little old lady strength. Had one deliberately trip me over with her stick. Part of a gang... so I ran.

Just a snippet from the above link: What happens if you do not surrender an item during the surrender period? Once the surrender period comes to an end on 23 September 2024, 23:59hrs ’zombie-style’ knives and ‘zombie-style’ machetes will be prohibited. If you are still in possession of one of...

Don't let them fool you with that sweet smile and the, "Could you help me with my shopping trolley onto the bus dear". Arnold Schwarzenegger has been quoted as saying that even in his prime, he couldn't lift what they carry home from the supermarket. There's something funny going on and I tend...

Thanks for that info. Wonder how many 'innocents' will be unaware of this change in the law. There are a few documents now up on the above mentioned .gov website. In case anyone is wondering what constitutes a zombie style knife, here's a direct link...

Withdrew it. I'll wait until the new UK government makes a decision with new guidelines.

I caught a radio segment within the last couple of days, where Keir Starmer stated (can't remember the exact words) that he'll stop at nothing to sort this out. He sounded like a man on a mission. I'm now an observer to this whole thread. My original question has been answered: "Just sit back...

Have read all the replies. Interesting. Gerber BMF The blade excluding the large handle is 7.75". The saw back is 3" in length Have no receipt
