good luck with your knife ban douche bags.

Hey, c*ck-muppet  - just FYI - knives have been mostly banned in the UK for decades. It's fine.

Basic laws on knives
It’s illegal to:

• sell a knife to anyone under 18, unless it has a folding blade 3 inches long (7.62 cm) or less
  
  
• carry a knife in public without good reason, unless it has a folding blade with a cutting edge 3 inches long or less
  
  
• carry, buy or sell any type of banned knife
  
  
• use any knife in a threatening way (even a legal knife)
  

Scotland
In Scotland, 16 to 18 year olds are allowed to buy cutlery and kitchen knives.
Lock knives
Lock knives are not classed as folding knives and are illegal to carry in public without good reason. Lock knives:

• have blades that can be locked and refolded only by pressing a button
  
  
• can include multi-tool knives - tools that also contain other devices such as a screwdriver or can opener
  

Banned knives and weapons
It is illegal to bring into the UK, sell, hire, lend or give anyone the following:

• butterfly knives (also known as ‘balisongs’) - a blade hidden inside a handle that splits in the middle
  
  
• disguised knives - a blade or sharp point hidden inside what looks like everyday objects such as a buckle, phone, brush or lipstick
  
  
• flick knives (also known as ‘switchblades’ or ‘automatic knives’) - a blade hidden inside a handle which shoots out when a button is pressed
  
  
• gravity knives
  
  
• stealth knives - a knife or spike not made from metal (except when used at home, for food or a toy)
  
  
• zombie knives - a knife with a cutting edge, a serrated edge and images or words suggesting it is used for violence
  
  
• swords, including samurai swords - a curved blade over 50cm (with some exceptions, such as antiques and swords made to traditional methods before 1954)
  
  
• sword-sticks - a hollow walking stick or cane containing a blade
  
  
• push daggers
  
  
• blowpipes (‘blow gun’)
  
  
• telescopic truncheons - extend automatically by pressing button or spring in the handle
  
  
• batons - straight, side-handled or friction-lock truncheons
  
  
• hollow kubotans - a cylinder-shaped keychain holding spikes
  
  
• shurikens (also known as ‘shaken’, ‘death stars’ or ‘throwing stars’)
  
  
• kusari-gama - a sickle attached to a rope, cord or wire
  
  
• kyoketsu-shoge - a hook-knife attached to a rope, cord or wire
  
  
• kusari (or ‘manrikigusari’) - a weight attached to a rope, cord, wire
  
  
• hand or foot-claws
  
  
• knuckledusters
  

Contact your local police to check if a knife or weapon is illegal.
Good reasons for carrying a knife or weapon
Examples of good reasons to carry a knife or weapon in public can include:

• taking knives you use at work to and from work
  
  
• taking it to a gallery or museum to be exhibited
  
  
• if it’ll be used for theatre, film, television, historical reenactment or religious purposes, for example the kirpan some Sikhs carry
  
  
• if it’ll be used in a demonstration or to teach someone how to use it
  

A court will decide if you’ve got a good reason to carry a knife or a weapon if you’re charged with carrying it illegally.

Go peddle your smug, scare-mongering, self-serving bullsh*t in your own country, where kids get mowed down with machine guns in schools on regular basis. Conservative government in UK has been making cuts to the police force, because that's what conservative c*nts do. Reality Check: What has happened to police numbers? But the chances of getting stabbed in the street in UK are smaller than the chances of being killed in a school, or a place of worship in US. So stick that in your orange pipe and smoke it...

hey dumb ass the point I was making you only reinforced!!!!

The Laws agains the tools evil people use, do not protect you from evil people. example guns and now knives are highly regulated if not out right bann. as per your great effortsabove show us..

EVEN SO, Murders and attempted murders by knife are still too high in that region of the world despite the heavy regulations you have pointed out.. It would seem evil men do not care about breaking the laws. go figure that one.. which means the only unarmed people are the law abides who would be responsible weapon owners anyway!!!. 

You walk right into this one douche or do you still not see it?

If banning tools that can be used for evil intent would abolish evil, I would be on board with the bann. but as you have pointed out you have a highly restrictive bann and clearly it is not enough, as you have one in place.

When will you dummies get guns knives cars hammers are all tools and their use is not intrinsically good or evil. it is the intention of the person who wields those tools that get played out one way or another! if not a knife then a hammer if not a hammer then a ball bat if not a ball bat a stone. will you bann stones next? Again the problem you are unwilling to face is the problem of sin and evil not the popular way it gets carried out
