Adults only

We only sell knives to people aged 18 or over, and we check. Every buyer's age is checked against the electoral register, and if we can't confirm it we ask for a copy of a passport or driving licence (you can cover everything except the photo and the date of birth). No check, no order. Every UK parcel is then age verified, tracked and signed for by an adult on delivery.

We also take part in regular briefings with the Metropolitan Police on selling knives responsibly.

What we don't do

  • We don't sell knives to anyone under 18.
  • We don't sell knives that are banned in the UK.
  • We don't have a shop or showroom, and can't take visitors.
  • We don't offer a sharpening service, but we can put you in touch with a sharpener we know.

Knives and the law in the UK

It is legal to buy and own the knives we sell if you are 18 or over. Carrying one in public is a different matter. GOV.UK says you can carry a folding knife in public without needing a reason only if its cutting edge is no longer than 3 inches and it is not a lock knife. A lock knife, or a fixed blade, needs a good reason to be carried in public, such as for your work. The full rules are on GOV.UK: https://www.gov.uk/buying-carrying-knives

If you're not sure whether a knife suits what you need it for, ask us.
