Handy Nik Naks, a rant

It is not illegal to sell to an under 18 though, so there is nothing they can be held accountable for. Obviously they had credit card details which are sufficient enough to take a payment.'Knife crime’ is any crime that involves a knife.
This can include:
* carrying or trying to buy a knife if you’re under 18
And of course, credit cards can be "borrowed" from parents.“That old law about 'an eye for an eye' leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing.”0 -

Sadly you have quoted a website that is obviously aimed at people with little legal understanding.
Section 139 of the Criminal Justice Act states that you can carry a non locking, folding knife with a cutting edge of less than three inches. There is no age restriction on this.
In relation to sales of same the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (Offensive Weapons) (Exemption) Order 1996 means that they can be happily sold to those under 18.
Also that site is very wrong, there is no offence of attempting to purchase a knife if under 18.It must be accepted as a principle that the rifle cannot replace the speed of the horse, the magnetism of the charge and the terror of cold steel.

Heinnie do have them, but I wanted the one with the Rescue (serrated) blade and the orange handle, and they do not have those sadly. And they will not have them til mid March.It must be accepted as a principle that the rifle cannot replace the speed of the horse, the magnetism of the charge and the terror of cold steel.

they have one here but it is twice the price of Nik Naks!!
Different handle material. The one on Nik Naks is made of FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon) and is quite lightweigh and easy to clean. The one on HH you have quoted is with a G10 handle and a different blade steel (and I already have one of those!)It must be accepted as a principle that the rifle cannot replace the speed of the horse, the magnetism of the charge and the terror of cold steel.

Possibly so - not denying that at all. However, it is the DirectGov site and most people would look there for guidance :beer:
But, the point I'm trying to make is - as far as the shop is concerned, they are better to be over cautious then face any possible repercussions.“That old law about 'an eye for an eye' leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing.”0 -
lol Well I give up :P
I Agree very poor customer service mind....0 -
Well the repercussion they will now face will be that I will no longer shop there, and I spend quite a large amount on items they have in stock every month, had Mrs C got good service then I would have happily purchased more knives from them.It must be accepted as a principle that the rifle cannot replace the speed of the horse, the magnetism of the charge and the terror of cold steel.

And I agree (as stated originally)“That old law about 'an eye for an eye' leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing.”0
