Law Change + Knife Amnesty.....
https:/
It seems a bit unclear. I have a "Rambo" knife from the 80s and I have an ornamental Samuria sword. The latter is on a stand for decoration and the former is a survival knife I used to use a lot camping and climbing etc. Do I have to give those in?

I know you love knocking me Dave B .,but one of your number ( no names, no names) said I was a demon googler (( extensive Greek vocab which I maintain in my memory )
from the internet:
A bladed article is an object which has a blade or sharply pointed, however, there are some exceptions. A folded pocketknife will not be considered a bladed article is the blade is 3 inches or less.
altho hill walking yes and taking one to Trafalgar Sq., I wd say was madness
As an aside, does the sword sit below the Green Lady picture?
Green Leddy - Green Lady - Tretchikov - no googling, no names). Sarf Efrican engraver who sold ( signed) copies of African leddies with rings in their necks ( and Zulus)
and then the chinese afro lady with a tinge of Green was a zapowee big seller.
Bigger even than the competing prints of small children peeing into canals
Came up on the art market a few years ago
My father who had a Green Lady was asked if he had commissioned it as a portrait of my sister. - er it was a print, and he hadnt.
I think Samurai swords are exempt so long as they are on the wall
I was under the impression that lock knives were an issue anyway.
"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."
I don't know - but I've been suspicious of laws like this since I was a kid, when the police visited and removed an old rifle that my dad kept on the wall for decoration. Lead had been poured down the barrel to make it unusable! It was so old that it had been used in the Crimea by my Gt.-Gt.-Grandad - or so the family believed.
Anyway, someone must have visited or looked through the window and reported it.
Also an acquaintance was threatened with the police for producing a fruit knife to peel an apple for her old mum - they were having a sit down at a railway station.
This 'amnesty' and law won't reach the people they need to reach. Almost pointless, except that some nasty weapons will be handed in.
