Why does the butterfly knife need handed in to the police?

 

[DV...]

It's a prohibited item mate

Why does the butterfly knife need handed in to the police?

Muchos illegal to sell, buy or give away.

 

[naefearjustbeer]

Oh right didnt realise, we used to play with them when we were school boys! I never had one as I always thought I would do myself a mischief with all the knife twirling tricks. It was impressive to watch someone who could make it twirl!

AFAIK posession is fine, just buy/sell/give. Might be an intersting heirloom.

 

[Bagheera]

Just a question, doesn't the price for the items one wants to sell need to be clearly stated in the sales post?

What is the price for that old Helle?

Cheers,

Bagheera

£20 for the old helle, needs a bit work on the stones to give it back its razor edge!! I have had the butterfly knife for 20 years, a real nice knife. Havent decided its fate yet. Nice blade to convert into something less illegal!!

ITS Not illegal if you have owned it that long you can still carry on owning it However you can commit an offence with it bit like haveing a car thats capable of going over 70mph is not illegal till you do something that is with it

you commit an offence if you sell or give it away or take it into a public place (this causes a problem only if you want to move house as the inside of a vehicular is legaly a public place )


you could take it apart it looks like its bolted together then its just a pile of bits which are legal
you could make a bit of metal to bolt into the handle with making it a fixed balde etc


Rememebr next tiem the Police strut on teh telly aboput al the illegal knives they have handed in at an amnesty that they have had an amnesty for things that ARE NOT illegal and in the numbers they dont add how many of identical (mainly kitchen knives) where also legaly sold in legal shops in the same county over the same time period )

Guys, The butterfly knife is a real beauty with very smart micarta scales. I think I may pull it to bits and make a fixed blade. Would be very easy to convert.

Looking forward hearing from you,

Best scouting wishes from Holland,

...so why pull it to bits (if you don't mind me asking) - you can own it, on your own property, perfectly legally
