The Law For the UK
You do not need a license to own a sword/knife 'Over 18's' or any of the products we sell on the website, they are also all legal to own in the U.K. Please check your own laws should we post to your country.
By law you must now be 18 or over to purchase a knife/sword. We age verify all orders not placed with Visa or Mastercard so please make our lives a little easier and fill in all the forms on the checkout page, especially the contact numbers section as we will inevitably need to call some customers to assist with verifying age of the purchaser where other methods have failed (electoral role, credit hitory, card type/details etc.). We would also hope you will act responsibly with your new purchase and it is a condition of purchase that you will NEVER CARRY IT IN A PUBLIC PLACE. By purchasing from this site you are commiting yourself to our terms and conditions.
Samurai sword rules
Samurai and other curved Swords - On April 6th 2008 a law came into effect banning samurai and other curved swords with a blade length of 50cm or more, there are some exceptions for registered martial artists, re-enactors and even certain genuine Japanese swords. An amendment to this act was passed, which came into effect on the 1st of August 2008, which allows curved and samurai swords which are handmade using traditional forging/production methods to be sold without a license which you will see on the site and can buy and own without a license. |
