ozalid Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 As above! I received a knife today through the post by Royal Mail, I rand the sender to ask how they did it and they informed me that Royal Mail had backed down on their plan to ban anything with a blade from the post. Excellent news. Although they now ask detailed questions about the knife, so nothing illegal to own etc, otherwise, as you were! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conor O'Gorman Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 From 7 May, Royal Mail and Parcelforce will prohibit the carriage of some types of knives. However, they will continue to accept knives that can be used for hobbies and trades. Royal Mail and Parcelforce will continue to carry “any knife or knife blade, including cutlery knives, bread knives, knives that can be used for hobbies and trades (for instance, utility knives and snap-off cutters, gardening, camping, lock knives, bushcraft and farming tools with a blade or any other trade tool that could commonly be described as a knife), butcher knives (including meat cleavers), felling axes and razor blades”. Prohibited items will be: “hunting/ combat/survival type knives, daggers, movie knives (such as Rambo or Crocodile Dundee style knives), replica fighting knives (such as Bowie knives), throwing knives, machetes, swords, fantasy knives, knives with images or words that suggest use for violence, stiletto knives, battle axes, open razors/ folding razors and any similar items”. For more about this, BASC's challenge to a complete ban, and ongoing work on this revised policy visit the webpage below. https://basc.org.uk/royal-mail-and-parcelforce-knife-policy-update/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozalid Posted May 3 Author Report Share Posted May 3 (edited) Well, on Thursday I posted a Coldsteel SRK clearly marked as a knife, collected by Royal Mail and sent age verified, it arrived today no problem. I mean, define ‘hunting’ knife, or ‘bowie’ knife, define ‘fighting’ knife or ‘bushcraft’ knife, its in the eye of the beholder, an SRK is arguably all these things. Its just another knee-jerk poorly thought through mess. Just my personal opinion! Edited May 3 by ozalid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
