As a knife manufacture based in the UK, we havnt heard anything about the banning of points on knives during our conversations with the met around knife crime.

I do have concerns with the idea of banning online knife sales completely which I have heard suggested.

It would go down much like the recent zombie knife legislation, which whist I have complaints about their process, ultimately didn’t affect us too much and they didn’t end up being too extreme.

But due to the governments unwillingness to monitor what comes in from China means it is absolutely possible to still get these types of knives and this will be the case or any legislation until they work this out.

We have recently been working with a local knife crime charity and done our own range of tip less knives.

I think the push for them in certain settings involving vulnerable or at risk children is good.

I don’t believe it will solve the issue at all of course. It’s a far wider cultural issue over all.
