me niether Tim but I do like to find them at markets, junk shops, ebay uk etc as well as more specialist sources.
Ocasionly I also import the odd one . True they are all ww2 or earlier.
But without precise defintion it will all become rather more awkward I fear.
I agree with your sentiments Alan, but have seen to many laws blindy inforced without reason in the UK to be 100%certan it may not happen again.
Time will tell, Perhaps if I do a thread resurection next December it will proove my concerns unfounded. I certanly hope so.
I dont care about post ww2 swords myself but WW2 & earlier I do find interesting.
Luckily the press havent yet decided kukri are naughty. But the term "the thin edge of the wedge" does spring to mind as well..
