It’s a worry. In my area Machetes are carried by one type of ethnic group who luckily tend to keep their arguments to themselves but the Police are very concerned they are being carried and I can understand why. Zombie knives’ or any knife coloured green are a thing kids have but even a Kid can do harm with them. I’ve carried a knife since I was a child and have a large collection, some large, some small and a few Swords which are blunt but still Swords. I would be very unhappy if my collection was confiscated. I am already on the ‘List’ as I’m known to buy knives from overseas. I don’t believe banning anything is the answer. Knife crime is a real thing but education is the answer, banning anything just sends it underground. Thanks for letting us know about this and yes it is the start of something bigger. Stay sharp Brother 👍.

Yeah remember some articles about "police being powerless to confiscate (perfectly legal items) they find in homes they visit" it just sounds to me " how dare you own something we disprove of, even if you can buy and own legally and not committed any crimes we should be able to confiscate and destroy no questions

I think it's to do with known criminals they want the power to remove the items. I've seen them do it before with a hammer when someone was abusing staff in a store anything to remove that person with the powers they have. I'm less concerned with known criminals I couldn't care less if his rubbish zombie knife gets taken away. I am worried about wider weapon import bans as a law abiding sword collector.

The funny thing is the knife crime is lower! We've never had a time in history when crime was so low! But inner city london is the whole of the UK apparently and so we all must rivet and change the laws because of a tiny minority that make good paper headlines. Im fed up of stupid laws imposed on thousand pound swords like the no curved sword law and countless others none of them work and they are all reactionary knee jerks with no thought put in them. This island has an attitude problem of “well you shouldnt be owning them” “we'd prefer you didn't take an interest in that hobby” it gets very tiring. Its not just swords try lighting a camp fire on the beach somebody will complain. Got to be a good citzen and take in interest in football and gardening dont be doing anything else.

Wow that's crazy I've been seeing alot of videos of machete and knife fights in the Streets of London. Instead of just detaining the criminals they're punishing knife collectors. I'm surprised knife laws are not to bad were I live you can't buy butterfly knives but I could walk around with a Bowie knife on my waist cops as long as it's visible you can walk around with you.

@@timbo66 it's getting that way here in the states as well. You hear the words impeachment and it never happens. There is hard evidence against corruption then a period of silence and subject change.
