I'd be happy if there was an option to pick up from a RFD.

Sadly quite a few RFDs have closed and with the next load of firearms legislation I expect more to go. So picking up a knife could be a long trip.

I noticed the new knife proposals today, along with news that convictions for carrying bladed items has resulted in less custodial sentences and far more suspended sentences over the last few years.
