I have flown out of the uk with sharp things, and often fly witrh kit internally.
As long as anything sharp is in your hold baggage you should have no problems.
I dont know about ferries, but well stowed and out of sight would be good.

There are a couple of threads on this subject, I think most agree that as long as the items are securely stored in your hold luggage (wrapped in sleeping bag or similar), then you will have no problems leaving the UK.
I have had a number of problems at foreign airports where it is sometimes the norm is to have people open up their baggage before they enter the terminal building. These airports were Paris CDG, Amsterdam and Budapest.
Never try to travel via Eurostar with anything sharp in your luggage, you will lose the item and may be arrested.

As I have said before, you could post the items to the destination (local post office) in advance. As stated above, in some areas you're items could be confiscated or even worse, you are arrested. You could try contacting the airline people or customs at both ends just to make sure you can carry the items correctly in your baggage.
when I owned my own knife company I flew to and from Finland with bags filled with about 100-200 knives.
as long as they are packed away inside your cargo hold luggage there is absolutely no problem, customs may very well ask to see them when you arrive just show them the knives and explain what they are for, no problem.
the eurostar trains may be different and I have no experience of them, but i would advice that you call them and explain your concerns they will advise you of what to do.
