ThomasPowers Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Just reading on the BBC website about: " The legal change in England and Wales will outlaw selling, manufacturing, renting or importing zombie knives. " The article does mention "There is no specific shape or style, but they are very ornate and intended to shock" I guess a number of American bladesmiths are now banned. I remember some pretty wild knives shown at the guild show 32 years ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Are they going to ban the knives from the museum displays also? Some were indeed ornate and were weapons of mass destruction of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kozzy Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 test due to disappearing post issue The law is an amendment to a 1988 law and states 3 requirements to be a "zombie knife" 1) A blade 2) A serrated edge portion 3) Imprinted text implying violence of some kind Pretty silly law. Kind of like banning red cars because more red cars are involved in accidents. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2016/803/contents/made is the 1988 law and the amendment if anyone cares enough to read it.

draavi Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 So, what I'm seeing here is that the British government is acknowledging the existence of zombies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 What's "skirling" and how do you "skirl" an organ? I'm thinking zombies may be becoming an endangered . . . (something or other) in Briton and they're just trying to preserve them for future generations to enjoy . . . No, killing isn't the right word. Offing them? . . . Ok that's a good term "Offing zombies, at least offing their heads. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 Actually I consider this a side effect of the lack of gun crime in the UK. Blade crime makes the news! Now to get rid of it-----I remember reading about a strong decrease in Icepick murders in New York City and how it correlated with the introduction of the Refrigerator...

You can have my icepick when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers. Very, very cold. If you outlaw icepicks, only outlaws will be chill.

juttle Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 What makes me really wonder is that we have an elected body of the great and the good, all probably Eton, Harrow and Oxford educated to a high level - although that ain't no proof of intelligence - governing every move we make in this septic isle. 650 of them create laws and sit in judgement on us mere mortals and some lobbyist with a sense of humour has convinced the majority of the existence of the undead! if proof were really needed of their existence, could I respectfully suggest a survey of the denizens of the house of both commons and lords?
