New knife purchases from shop in person only?

  • Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Didn't the criminals in the last London incident use kitchen knives? I seem to recall seeing pictures of the knives on TV. That being the case they'd have to regulate kitchen knives also!

What next banning copper bottom saucepans and spatulas, could easily have an eye out with them :)
 
As has been mentioned, it won't stop anyone wanting to use a knife in a bad way from doing so.
Much like firearms legislation.
Always the many punished.

I'm a comfortably content, well rounded little middle aged lady, the last person to trip any warnings on knives, etc.,….and my sons are praying that the police amnesty is still in force when I croak it :rolleyes:

Seriously they are. Both have said that if I go and I still have 'the knifeage' then they're going to have to get rid of them somehow.

So, at least one of you lot is going to be designated as, "The Collector", and you can do with them as you think best.

Ridiculous state of affairs to be in though, isn't it ?

Shopping with a neighbour yesterday we noted that five kitchen knives, and not one with a blade under five inches long, was priced at £2.89.
Carp knives, but a numpty only needs to use it once with evil intent :sigh:

Surely most kids using knifes just take them out of their parents kitchen drawers... Why buy something that's already at home for free?

About as workable as preventing under 18 access to on-line porn by simply installing age-verification software!

Aye Up,

It's no good, I can't take much more of this nanny state malarchy.

Anyone got November 5th free?

I do! Seriously, it's about time people in this country started gathering in the streets and protesting this outrageous rubbish. This country makes me more sick every single day I watch the news.

No one will though. Not over the rights of a few of us being trampled on again. But, if anyone wants to... I'm ready.
 
no point whining on here, there will be a consultation I suggest you start by writing to you MP

Absolutely. On here you are just preaching to the converted. However, your letter/email to your MP might be better received if you could make a workable suggestion to combat knife crime. People (i.e voters) outside of fora like this just want to see some action, of some kind, to attempt to reduce the crime levels. New ideas would help.
 
not my video but sums up how i feel about it...

The problem is not this one small change, it is all those well meaning small changes together.

Handgun ban - what is the real benefit of that? None. Zero.

The blade length restriction ? Pointless.

Forget the desire for metal!
Seems to me that you ought to be capable of beating the snot out of any one with a big stick, aka axe handle.

Just the other day in India, some guy was accused of sexually assaulting a 10 year-old girl.
So the village women tied him up, got a bunch of sticks and beat him to a pulp. Dead.

I can't wait to watch chefs dicing carrots with karate chops.
 
How, do you suppose, "they" are going to define "knife?"

Dave Budd of this parish makes some extraordinary wood carving tools.
Here I sit, many thousands of miles away, and decide that I need a couple of his edges.
I can only imagine that those tools will be as carving-sharp as any edge in the market place.
Is that a knife? Off shore sales are OK? Can I be imprisoned for self assault, accidentally cutting myself?
Won't be the first time!

These are not well meaning changes. They are for self-absorbed political posture.

No honest criminal bent on mayhem will read any of this. Didn't matter in the past,
won't matter now. Moreover, it restricts my rights to self defense.
 
While I am against this outrageously stupid and little thought out plan, I still have to be honest and admit that if it did go ahead in some fashion, and I sadly believe it will, I still wouldn't see it as the end of the world if I did have to go in person to collect my knife. In the big picture of things in life it is a very minor thing.

The real trouble here is for online shops and makers. Online shops would probably struggle and the only makers who'd survive, at a big hit, would possibly be well known makers for Woodlore, Bear Grylls etc. or a maker who is a constant supplier to a business or maybe an individual company like some fancy gunmakers as an example.

so where would you go? I livee in London and there isn't a single bricks and mortar anywhere
