What about the likes of Victorinox knives? :(
Kitchen knives are no less dangerous than those that are being removed.

It's good that they are doing that but you could still purchase kitchen knifes and go on a killing spree.

obvioulsly, but if you go on ebay and make a new sale
"14 Brand new AK47's with 40 Clips of ammo for sale only £200" i'm pretty sure that'd be illegal. ;)

Jesus christ are you looking for an argument or something, I'll shove one down your throat in a moment.
A knife is just as bad as a gun, except with a gun you don't need to struggle.

This is a good step, losing a life as a result of knife crime is a terrible thought.

Read itWell that isn't an AK47 is it? It's a replica airsoft gun.
Stop correcting people all the time you're so pedantic, we're not all so dumb that we need to include a clause for everything.
I can see there is a ':P' at the end of your post, but when you continually post irritatingly enough, sticking your tongue out to make the situation a little bit more light-hearted isn't going to.
I know what Airsoft is, you do not need to tell me.
Entrance did state that guns are illegal, he didn't need you to tell him that you could get a permit. Everyone knows you can get a permit for a gun so that's why he didn't make a clause letting everybody know, sadly you think we do need telling. You're either looking for an argument, correcting people for the hell of it or just pointlessly posting.
It's irrelevant to the topic whether there is permits or not as it's on about knives on ebay anyway.

Im sorry.
OT - atleast they are off ebay now :]
I've been using eBay since I was 12 and getting loads of packages from eBay, it's a good thing as a 12 year old could buy a knife and keep it on him in the streets or bring it to school etc, it's a good thing they aren't selling them online anymore.

They are banning knives due to panarama (i think) being able to buy knives from america which are illegal in the uk. i think it was 1 out of the ten that got stopped by customs. They will still allow household knives but other ones will be banned.
could be airsoft guns :P
Already banned from being sold on ebay due to the VCR act.
Well they wouldn't be AK47s then would they?
its still a AK47 its just not made by the same company as a real steel AK47 is made from.

Anyone watched Panorama yesterday, they were showing that they brought 6 knifes, 6 had came but the other one didn't come but a HM & Customs letter came.
1 knife was plastic and could hurt and it wouldn't go through the metal detectors.
wow.. to be honest you could do damage with a kitchen knife.. I have a beast of a kitchen knife that looks like it could poke an eye out..

Depends what kind of knife lol

Exactly... a block of Tesco Value kitchen knives will set you back a whole £2, so I'm sure single knives will be within anybody's budget to stab-and-dump.
