How difficult would it be for authorities to insist that companies (B&Q, Wickes, outdoor camping stores, whoever) have to submit details of anyone in the last 5 yrs who has purchased big bast**d knives. All purchasers could then be contacted (email, text etc) to say that they have a certain amount of time to contact local police etc and explain where knife is now, what is it being used for and - if no longer in possession of owner - who has it? OK the real hardened thugs won’t be bovvered but I think it would deter MOST users/owners from carrying one. All purchases are now recorded digitally so wouldn’t be hard to implement.

Sounds like a good idea but the impression I get is that the majority are bought online rather than stores where there are at least age checks done. Something needs to be done though re online sales. Companies need to start getting fined and prosecuted for selling weapons like machetes and rambo knives particularly to juveniles.

Just go on Facebook marketplace and search kitchen knives set and you will see exactly what you’re referring too. I pointed this out to my MP, Gary Streeter, couple of years ago and said he would inform the then Home Secretary. That worked

I get that people may use them for diving and other activities but they’re way to easy to get hold of and there seems little restriction on youngsters being able to buy them. Things need to change.

A way of cutting knife crime might be to reintroduce National Service and teach ‘em how to use guns instead.

I suppose there's a weak argument that if these idiots can't get a knife to 'defend' themselves from the other 'street soldiers' out there, they'll just move on to whatever the next most effective tool. Screwdriver? Stanley knife?

Watcha mate hope you’re well The impression I get and from what I read is that anyone of any age can get any knife / weapon online providing - they’re happy to lie - there parents are happy for them to use there card to pay In relation to shops / supermarkets it’s a lot more difficult as they have to prove age when purchasing. Shops can’t sell knives to anyone under the age of 18. If they do they’re committing an offence and could receive a heavy fine. Online purchasing is a hell of a lot more difficult to police.

Surely it's only hard to police if they are bought from abroad? Setting up a dodgy knife shop online from the UK should be easy enough to track. There's obviously the Dark Web which is basically the wild west though.

Screwdriver? Stanley knife? You’re probably right but I’d say you’ve got a better chance of surviving an attack by someone with a screwdriver or stanley knife due to the lack of blade / length of blade respectively. That said if they were stopped with either they could still be arrested for being in posession of an offensive weapon unless they can prove justification of why they have them. I think with a knife there’s some stupid kudos around the look of it that you wouldn’t get with a screwdriver / Stanley knife. They’re just not as intimidating.

Like most things there’s always a way and with some of the independent shops where there’s money to me made morals go out the window.

This just epitomises our justice system from top to bottom. How often do you see cops on police reality shows being pally with scrotes they pull over in cars or arrest on the streets. On another issue I believe that video games contribute massively to the knife crime we are now seeing on our streets. Unprovoked stabbings in particular.

The way figures are heading I'd give it 2 or 3 years tops and the number of people dying from a drug overdose will be more than 10 times the number dying from murder. It's at around 8 times currently.
