You can even import ‘sharp’ swords again; We’re shipping about each week to the UK and didn’t had one single case where the sword didn’t arrived

I would just like to say thank you to dave for the two links you have posted i have been looking for them but didnt know where to start.

This curved sword ban just seemed pointless, as the shops in the uk that sold these have started selling similar straight edge models, and they are still selling for under £50.

Thanks again for the links!

p.s whats really bugging me is if some douch wants to go around butchering people with a weapon why would they go through all the trouble of importing?
homebase sell kitchen knifes that would be deadly in the wrong hands?

and yes, I am very much up for banning all the cheap crap swords, not only in the UK.

proper swords do have value and do not cost £30 for a set of Daisho + tanto, prices are well above that and I bet most criminals would rather choose a cheaper tool to commit some mischief.

my only worry was why did the British come to senses and right conclusions so late? what stopped them from being able to think reasonably in the first place? was it not clear from the very beginning that all properly and traditionally made (doesn’t matter where made) blades should be exempt from the ban which should only refer to cheap replicas? – and if it wasn’t clear, then I dare to ask: why not?

all the pompous announcements and then introducing the ammendments – what’s that? – a waste of time and effort. but, if they have nothing better to do… I envy them: I’d like to have their problems.

hi,

as far as I know you can buy properly made swords with no problems now, as long as you are over 18 years old and swords are made in a traditional way, doesn’t matter whether they’d be made in China or USA or anywhere else.

yes, I do recommend blades-uk.com, they’re very helpful and have the knowledge on the topic. Bought a few blades from them myself – great stuff, great service, and all that at competitive prices.

and yes, the UK has become a laughing stock for the rest of the world with their stupid (health&)safety regulations. but there you go, they insist it is the 21st century and they’re one of the richest countries in the world. well, maybe, and so what? – apparently that means nothing, there’s always enough space for all sort of idiocy in any country, any time, be it a monarch, a president or a pope who runs the business and rules the place.

best,
Matt
