eBay UK bans sale of knives, including kitchen paring knives

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009 | Guns |

eBay prohibits members from listing knives on eBay.co.uk and eBay.ie with one exception:

*Cutlery: this includes sets of kitchen cutlery (knives, forks, spoons) that contain knives used for eating, but does not include sharp kitchen knives such as those found in knife blocks, such as paring knives.

Members should be aware when listing knives on eBay that it is an offence to market a knife in a way which indicates or suggests that it is suitable for combat, or is likely to encourage violent behaviour involving the use of the knife as a weapon. It is out also an offence to sell knives to a person who is under the age of 18.

First it was guns bans, then air rifles bans, then sword bans. Now Great Britain has gone bonkers about kitchen knives.

The next story I expect you to report from formerly GB is that the illegal sale of deadly assault knives has skyrocketed since the passage of the anti-knife laws. QED.
