    Under the definition of a ‘zombie style’ knife, which is a bladed weapon with:
    i. A plain cutting edge, ii. A sharp pointed end, and, iii. A blade of over eight inches long
    Which also has one or more of the following: 1. A serrated cutting edge over two inches long,
    2. More than one hole in the blade, 3. Spikes, 4. More than two sharp points in the blade
    THIS KNIFE IS NOW LEGAL DUE TO NOT HAVING A SHARP POINTED END.
    Also "antique" and "Handmade" knives, or those that are of "historical Importance" that fall under the definition will still be LEGAL anyway.

      Personally not convinced yet saw backs are banned as not seen it/them mentioned once. Scalloping/serration and saw geometry are different and defined differently in normal usage, though that doesn't always carry to legal definition for specific acts, and are used for different things and cut through a different action, serrations have no set etc.
      I'm hanging ten on saw back till I see something official and definitive from the Gov or CPS personally.

    It’s crazy. It’s making me want to cry. I’ve collected for years. I use my 17 inch gator saw back all the time from delimbing branch’s in my garden to bushcraft while camping. How and what can we do about these laws? I’ve read “ninja swords” are next. The amount of time and money gone into these collections is crazy. It’s time to move.

    I've yet to see anything saying definitively that SAWs are SERRATED as those terms are normally NOT interchangeable and in normal language have different definitions, uses and modes of function not to mention tooth vs edge geometry, saws have a set (teeth alternat to sides, serrations are in line) etc.

      I agree with you, my main issue is in the government compensation pdf link (3rd in the description) it specifically shows and talk about saw back machetes as Zombie machetes sadly, also could a saw back be "more than one spike"?

      @merlynsfire1275 День тому

      @@WeaponCollector yes the more than one spike is a potential broad term that could catch it.
      As soon as they brought style in to it gets fuzzy ie zombie, fantasy and such terms are to subjective to be clear. Size weight length that are scientific measurements or other given facts is the way to go.
      Like it or hate it under three inches simple folding blade is pretty clear with not a lot of gray area lol

    Your even forgetting the worst thing about this law. There are many kukri's in this land earned by service in the Ghurka's by both former ghurkas who took citizenship as a reward for their service and british officers who earned them by serving honorably in the ghurkas all of these blades that are marks of honor and service will be banned. That is destroying memories of people who put their lives on the line for the UK

      One of the main points of a saw back machete is having a saw. Being able to chop and saw is more important than a stab action with a machete. So it’s almost just as useful without the point. Still all a load of rubbish tho.

      As far as I can see 1 and 2 will be band but 3, 4 and 5 Rambo are fine. That said if dulling the sharp edge is accepted then you could just do that and keep all. It's a bloody mine field and the government don't make it easy.

    As much as I want it to be this isn't right. Dulling a point on a blade isn't going to wash with the police. Remember APAB. Or is dulling a sharp edge. All you have then is a very dull knife that can be sharpened. Completely rounding the nose, yes. Cutting off serrations and saw back, yes. Cutting less than 8 inches, yes. But dulling points and sharp edges NO!

    • @johnbeattie9561
      @johnbeattie9561 3 дні тому +3

      I see your point saying it can be sharpened again which would then make it illegal but what about the large one he shows that has no serrated edge you can drill two or more holes in the blade then this would be classed as illegal. So basically everything over 8" with a point and sharp edge could be made to be illegal. the government as always have made this very hard for people to follow in hope people will hand everything in.

They will be round your gaff like a ferret. They don't really know the law half the time, and if they see something they are not sure about, they will just take it.

      I'm not sure thats right. The law states it must have a sharp edge if there isn't one any more its not sharp. How much flat or rounding counts will have to be tested at some point.
      There are some similarities to things in firearms law like a plain barrel blank with rifling is an expencive tube with w pretty spiral, turn the end to fit a specific firearm and suddenly the shape on one end makes it a firearm barrel, a component part and you need a FAC to own or order it if its for s 'real' gun (not sub 12fpe air rifle example but .22lr or .308 etx)

      @@-hopstar- I deliberately cautious because it's important and didnt say I knew. Definitely need to be careful, if you want to know the law talk to lawyer or wait for a court judgement with president, if you want to know how your local force interpret that law ask them but police are not legal experts.
      Knife blanks are not sharpened blades so there logically must be a point between sharp and blunt, re enactment daggers too. It does say they have to have a sharpened blade plus other conditions. Again my opinion.
      The one I'm not 100% on at the moment is I've not seen mention of saw back which I'm hoping arent caught as they're not serrated but they do have points.
      Never take ANYTHING on youtube as legal advice ALWAYS read the exact law yourself and always seek proper advice if your not 100% sure for your self that you understand it I absolutely agree.
