Watchdog and the knives from eBay

To Watchdog

Lets first clear up something.
you did not purchase ANY flick knife at all..a flick knife/switch blade uses a spring release.get your facts straight.
secondly the police officer who said that ALL those knives were illegal to own or sell is very much mistaken.
only the stealth knife and the one disguised as a pen are prohibited to carry..you can actually own ANY knife.not all knife collectors are scally morons you know..get your facts straight before scare mongering.
you can buy (and quite rightly so) those other knives in the uk LEGALLY.they don't contain a spring release,so they ARE LEGAL.
check the knife laws before going off like some paranoid fools.
knife collectors are not villains.if some idiot is going to stab someone they will do it regardless of how good the knife is.

think about it.
what collector who spends hundreds if not thousands of pounds on collecting knives is going to risk their hobby (a legal one by the way) by carrying or using one on somebody.

if you want to ban things cos they will hurt someone ban also.
