Knife Disposal

[CaptainScrumpy]

I'm heading travelling around Europe for an as yet unknown period of time. I have a number of smaller folding knives which I will have no problem storing securely. However I have a Ka-Bar Tanto, which I don't really use at home - it's not one of my favourites, I'm not taking it with me and I want to get rid of it before I leave.

I wouldn't like there to be any chance of it falling into the wrong hands and I am looking for somewhere that will dispose of it properly.

Any advice would be great

Cheers

I guess your local police station chap? though might be worth ringing first, before turning up with blade in hand.

join as a full member and advertise it here. you can then 'vet' the people you are selling it to.

otherwise, just cut it into numerous bits with a grinder, or take it along to a garage or other engineering workshop and pay them to do it for you, returning the pieces to you when they are finished.

Yes the Police will take and destroy any blades that are wanted rid of, at least they do here.

Which blade model is it mate. is it plain or with the first two inches serrated?

Would be happy to take it off your hands.
PM me and we can discuss options

I have dropped unwanted knives into the local police station before.
It was no problem.

tbh, theres not much I really need for going away. I'm taking a Karesuando survival (fire starter), probably a SOG Blink I and my Leatherman Wave.

I am looking for some kind of tarp though.

 

[CaptainScrumpy]

It is the one with two inches serrated

 

[rancid badger]

Ah! so you don't really want to "dispose" of it then?

Your original post, sounded like you wanted to have the knife destroyed, rather than pass it on to anyone else

Why not just introduce yourself properly, in the relevant section, then put your knife in the swaps & wanted section?

We don't bite, (usually) and I for one, would be very interested to hear more about your plans and expectations for your upcoming adventure

go on, introduce yourself

If it is acceptable with the moderators, why not donate it to BCUK for an auction with the proceeds going to charity?

That way it's a win-win situation. It's a shame to destroy a good, working tool.

Dont hand it in on the Cops they will happily take it etc

but it gets added to the number and Stats of illegal highly dangerous knives they heroically take of the streets


Sell it take it to the tip (Metal Bin) what ever but dont hand it in

I actually did want to get rid of it, I had never heard of a swap before.
