Henry Stewart Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 Gentlemen Has any member in the UK got the relevent portion of the Offensive Weapons Act 2008 which shows the restrictions and exemptions on Samurai Swords. Henry Quote
paulb Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 Henry pm me your email address and i can forward a copy of the document. The latest revision does not show the exemptions listed in the 1988 act which are still in force and relevant not least because antique weapons (over 100 years old) are exempt. It does list a number of "defences" which are regarded as legal justification to import single edged blades with a cutting edge of 50cm or more. Regards Paul Quote
