Gerber Machetes

My experience with Border force was a little different, " He also has a knife in the rifle case", ... "Is there any writing on it?", ... "Yes!, Stuart Mitchell" (It took a little while for them to realise it was a maker's mark & not a battle cry.:rolleyes:
Did you have any bullets with names scratched in to match!
 
Gerber Gator and Gerber Junior are now banned, however if you cut / grind the sharp tip flat, with a 90 degree angle, like the end of a meat cleaver, then it would remain legal.
Could you also remove any serrations from the rear if you wanted to maintain the point?
 
He must have been talking about zombie knives only not the rest as stalker 1962 as pointed out.

But who in there mind thinks this is going to make any difference to the stabbings and shootings GANG culture and drugs
 
Yep and when they get caught with lots of bullets and guns and knives.
What do our courts give them not the five years and you can see why the police are feed up.
Now they get a early release the rioters get more tougher sentence as we have all seen.
No I am not agreeing with what they did but let the gang culture get the same time when they run wild.

You can keep a 2 inch section of serrations at the haft/handle end, but nothing longer.
Why would you need a sharp point more than the saw back though?

With regards the courts, their hands are very much tied as they can only sentence within the scope of legislation and guidance. It is our great and glorious politicians that make the legislation, they are the ones who can make a change.

Magistrates’ courts sentencing guidelines – Sentencing - for Magistrates Court.
Search Results for “” – Sentencing - for Crown Court.

Don’t know where the five years comes from.
 
This is all part of a wider public policy initiative.

We ban zombie knives then other classes of knives, this eventually leads to bans on steak and bread knives.

Not eating bread cures obesity.

Not eating meat makes us vegetarian.

Why people fail to endorse this proposal is bizarre, but then its taken millions of years evolution to develop the collective stupidly shown in parliament.

I think you might be wrong here. The angle spec is confusing but if you look at the instructional drawing (BASC link I think) the Gerber is not 'sharp pointed'.
 
And still were really none the wiser. People can do bad stuff with all manners of objects. I'm a joiner and looking round my workshop I have a plethora of things to kill, stab or main, if the urge so took me. Chisels, saws, screwdrivers, nail guns, pieces of glass, utility knives and suitable lumps of wood.
Yet again the law abiding get restrictions and the non law abiding go about there business in hindered.
Let's face it a youth who wants to carry a knife, walks out the door after taking a knife from the cutlery drawer. No need to hide it in the back of the wardrobe or under the floor boards.
Stop and search on a massive scale would do it, but that costs a lot of money. No prejudice, no race discrimination, no sex discrimination. No more badly written laws are needed.
 

Do all you need for making a hide and more without worrying about falling foul of the police unless you're in a nightclub.
 
This law (in my view) is both badly written and unnecessary.

But here's the thing.

I don't care.

I will continue to go about my daily nonsense, with all the trappings of a bloke who is lawfully engaged in all the nonsense that a bloke (unsupervised by his wife) gets up to.


My truck will (invariably) have a firearm on board, a selection of knives, hatchets, bill-hooks, crowbars, Silky saws, balls of twine, a conker and a six-pence.


The Police do not care.


They are free to stop me whenever they like (twice in the last six years) and ask me all sorts of impertinent questions.

I don't care.

If the worst comes to the worst, I can always play this...

...and prove my innocence all all suspected criminal offences,

...by pointing out that I am not, and never have worn, a 'hoodie'.😇



Folks, life is too short to fret over this shite.
