Ha, ha... great writing on those shows

No mod skills here. I own a junior hacksaw, pliers and a few screwdrivers. That's it. Going to wait and see how thing are after summer. Sorted.

Agree. I was young and foolish. Seduced by Hollywood. In my defence, it was intended for mountain and survival use.

You're probably right. Putting it in a dark drawer will not be enjoyable though, as it'll still never be used. Could use it as an envelope opener :)

Hi nige1: Thing is, if a person doesn't want to go the, safe, easier route I carefully investigated - I take it to my local courier guy and he does all the checking and record keeping 'officially' - why would they baulk at that, but be more than happy with my, as a private individual, recording...

Thanks to all. Yep... confusing. I'll just hang and wait. Should be more clarification after the summer.

A bit of clarity: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/style/zombie-style-knives-rules-around-103737986.html?guccounter=1

Won't clog up this thread with lots of individual replies. Okay then, I'll wait until the end of Autumn to see what happens. Been sitting in a drawer for so long, a few more months won't make any difference. I'm always aware that ignorance of the law is no excuse.

Here's something to be going on with. I can't remember where I read about there being £15 compensation per knife. Could be wrong on that. I'm thinking that this will be stage one, and that stage two will be all large hunting and Bowie knives etc, regardless of whether they have a saw back or...

Thanks for all the answers. Forgive me if I don't answer each one individually. Sorted, have a friend with a proper garage workshop in which there's a powerful metal cutting saw: 1. Can't sell it, as I can't personally verify age, address or keep the buyers scanned photo ID on record in case...

Have to agree Pat. Will do. Times have changed

Nothing definite, but that's the way it's heading. The 'look' of a blade is what it's all about: Is it large, does it have cut outs, are there words to suggest fantasy violence, does it have a saw-back edge, is it a Rambo type knife? Yes, more about how it appears than how effective it is...

Excellent! Didn't know they were still a thing. Thanks

Quick question: I have a large, new, unused Gerber BMF survival knife. All these new UK laws coming in will categorise it - there's a saw-back and the blade is large - as a zombie knife, which it really isn't. Really, I just can't be bothered trying to understand what is legal now, or in the...

Price on this is now £150 + £20 delivery. Yes, £20 is what he quoted me. Read my first post on the small hoops you'll have to jump through in order to buy it. This local UK based freight forwarder is a small shop that's been trading for years. A thoroughly decent chap. Any verification would be...

Strange times. As mentioned, I think it changes if you're a small freight forwarding business, with the correct type of business account.

There is hope. Visited a tiny one man shop who sends parcels all over the world with just about any courier. Have been there many times for cheap parcel tape. Nice bloke. He thinks the reason some sellers can send is because they have age verification checks in place that will satisfy courier...

Firstly, I don't want get the moderator angry by having a 'for sale' thread turn into a 'how to' thread. Hope that won't be an issue. If so, feel free to cut and move the extra stuff to somewhere with a new title of your choosing. Thanks, here is the DPD UK link. I called Hennie and they use...

Will do. Thanks again.

In the UK you need a licence to carry a single sheet of paper. And... any supplier caught selling one can face serious fines. A 500 sheet closed ream is fine. Just make sure it's closed though, and that the police don't find you carrying it opened in a car. Why you may ask? Paper cuts. A nasty...
