I've noticed that there are a few switch blades for sale on webidz, I'm not sure if people/management are aware and may consider this matter, In the UK it is now illegal to buy or sell any form of blades from online retailers and auction sites as they are classed as an offensive weapon. I'm not sure what the law is in America etc, but is it possible that these can be removed from visability to UK sellers?

I'm not trying to be a spoil sport, but I'm sure sellers in America and alike don't want buyers claiming an item not received because they have been confiscated at customs.

If they are not the lock type they are ok in the USA! The ones that are not ok is ones that have a lock so if you pushed it up against something it would be locked and can penatrate! The unlocked ones if you push them up to something the blade will move back in

In Uk anything that has a blade can be classed as an offensive weapon and is illegal apparently. even though you can still buy them on feebay, what I'm trying to get at is we/I don't want is it to appear on the BBC watchdog program that someone in the uk bought a knife on webidz after all that is bad publicity and may not do webidz any favour
