Anyway my mother said I could buy a knife (mora 511), but I have a problem, I have no way to pay online, PayPal is limited and for some reason my mother credit card can't be used online, is there anywhere I can buy a cheap knife in Llanelli? (Like what sort of shops would sell mora?)
Went to buy knife, but ran into a prob.

Pop into Clas Ohlson. You'll get change from £4 and buy over the till
That's up Cardiff, there's none in Llanelli
Ask your parents if they fancy a shopping trip
I doubt my parent would go all the way up Cardiff just to get a knife.
Just to say matey, if your under 18 you will be breaking the law buying your self a knife, I don't know that you are, just guessing is all, have fun chap!
Your main problem is that you (according to the info that you supplied when you joined) are significantly under the age of 18.
By that token, you cannot legally do what you want (buy a knife)

That's shaky ground, It's entirely possible that he could be committing an offence buying it for you.
Might be best to wait for some of the more legal minded members to chip in.

an under 18 can legaly purchase a folding knife with a blade of 3" or less.
if your having trouble buying one, have you ever thought of making one?

Eh?
So its against the law for a father to give his kid a knife? Since when?
Admittedly it was quite some time ago (I'm knocking on forty now) but my mother bought me a Swiss Army Knife when I learned to read.
As far as I understand the law around knives it isn't illegal for you to own a knife under 18, it is illegal for a store or person to sell you a knife so they have to take all reasonable steps to ensure the person purchasing the knife is of the age, so you see the disclaimers like "By agreeing to these term and conditions you are stating that you are over 18 years of age" this then how ever tenuously covers them as the onus is then on the purchaser to be honest, I some one buys you a knife they aren't breaking any laws, as far as i understand it

There is an exemption for sub 3" slip joints (such as SAK) meaning there is actually no lower age limit for purchase.
My point was that being under 18, the OP is legally prohibited from purchasing a fixed blade, and it is entirely possible that his Father could commit an offence buy buying one for him, in a similar vein to someone buying cigarettes or alcohol for someone underage.

I'm a bit confused here with the UK's growing and sad laws on everything, can my father buy me a knife, or can I say, "Dad, can I have a Mora Clipper Knife for my bday", lol.
