Knives on ebay!

Just read this, a subject that terrifies me and the reason I spend half my life wearing a stab vest. It's about time is all I can say because if you look at what you can buy quite easily you'd be terrified too. I can say that customs are getting better but I fear still a long way off!

**Robbie69** · 9th February 2009, 06:04

Oh yes!

As a fellow officer I agree with you robbie

ebay only care about profits... the amount of counterfeit stuff they let slip through is beyond belief.

He posts in the ad:

"THIS AUCTION IS FOR A BEAST OF A KNIFE.THE ULTIMATE
KNIFE FOR HUNTERS , MILITARY , CAMPERS , FISHERMAN
AND MANY OTHER OUTDOOR PURSUITS."

Hunters, Military and Fishermen are NOT going to spend under £20 on some cheap crappy knife that's stupidly large. They will buy purpose made, quality blades.

Campers don't need something this big to help put up a tent.

So all that leaves is "Other Outdoor Pursuits". The only outdoor pursuit that this is going to be used for is muggings and stabbings!!!

The seller should be banned. For gods sake, why would anybody need a fake Samurai sword either??

But like people say, Ebay just want their money and not worry about the consequences

If only more could be done to ban these knifes, my brother was murdered 20 years ago in London's Waterloo station stabbed in the back 5 times, all I read in papers nowadays is another stabbing/murder,another family going through the pain of loosing a loved one.

Here's link for a shop here in Glasgow selling fantasy knifes, why aren't these banned.

I'm sorry to hear about your brother I couldn't begin to imagine. Fantasy knives should be banned because if you've actually seen them they look pretty ****ing real and made of metal like any other knife. Nothing fantasy about them!

This is just a subject I feel very passionate about and it really does effect us all.
