I recently won an auction on that auction site for the following item:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-RE...p2047675.l2557

Getting it for £4.20 seemed too much of a bargain to pass up, but now I am in a slight dilemma in regards to transporting it. I live in Southwest London and the item is in Romford. I can get a direct train to the seller but will obviously have to take public transport to get across central London with the monster in my possession.

I would like to ask some advice about transporting the cleaver.

My thoughts are that I take a load of bubble wrap from work and some serious packing tape and wrap the bugger up very securely, maybe tape some cardboard around it too.
Then have that in suitcase...

I will be on the tube, or overground trains so do you think this will be enough to convince anyone who might "demand" to see in my bag that I am transporting this beast en route and not intending any mischief....

Any advice gratefully received!

Is it legal?

I know about 'banned goods' and offensive weapons, but Endura is not a flick knife i guess... Or it can cause a problems on the Border

And of course, i have a UK visa, but transit. Im going to Portugal for fishing)

I signed up here in need of some legal advice.
I have been living with my grandad for the last few years, and about 5 months ago he unfortunately passed away, since my grandma has passed on, and my dad is a dead beat my grandad left the house to me and all his possessions.
Last night when sorting through his old tools and stuff from his work room I came across a flick knife, I remember being fascinated with it as a child, watching him use it to strip wires when doing electrical work.
So now comes my problem, legally I can't take the knife out the house, no problem I have no want or need to take it out the house, but with the 1945 law (I think 1945) the knife can't be sold, gifted etc, now since it was technically left in the will as part of his worldly possessions to me, does that count as gifting?
Would I be able to keep it for sentimental reasons given that it belonged to my grandad before it became illegal, or am I in possession of a illegal knife?
If it is illegal whats the best way to dispose of it? ]]> moosejuice http://www.britishblades.com/forums/showthread.php?166195-flick-knife-law http://www.britishblades.com/forums/showthread.php?166076-Friction-Folder&goto=newpost Mon, 29 Apr 2013 11:59:49 GMT Where does the law stand on friction folders?

Strange situation, whilst the overturn makes some sense. Just bizarre he didn't get prosecuted for the other weapons in the first place. ]]> Ren http://www.britishblades.com/forums/showthread.php?165932-Californian-court-case-Conviction-overturned-because-knives-were-in-backpack
