So, the title is obvious. I'm aware this is going to sound stupid but I do need a little rant about it.
So I was strolling around the interwebs when a friend from Sweden found a website that sells CS knives. Not for ingame. But real knives. Every type, every skin. They honestly look so sexy. They even do them with other 'skins' and patters on other knives.
I would have loved to get 1 a week as they were only 25 GBP each. The only issue being, all the knives are illegal in the UK. I'm aware why, BUT I think they should be allowed if they come in a collectors box and are 'verified' in a sense so the police/government etc knows you have them.
The issue I have with this is that as I said, I really want some but even the website says they don't ship to the UK. But in the UK there are little shops that openly sell blades and even swords. ( I know they're dulled down but still. They're gonna be sharp )
And it annoys me how I can't get a really nice say karambit fade in a collectors case because they're illegal even though I can walk down the road and purchase a massive hunting knife or a sword. It's just unfair.
Donions. Just had to say it. Really annoyed I can't get one and upset.

That's why we don't have hundreds of mad men running around with weapons. The law is good, just experience the knives in cs go.

But think about it, haven't you always wanted to try and balance a falchion knife on your palm? Or try and do countless spins with a karmbit, or try and twirl your m9 bayonet? Just a thought I'd leave with you

Not sure if read post or just going for MVC.
I did say how I can openly go down the road to about 5 shops and buy a sword/hunting knife/massive knife. If people want to run around with knives, it's fairly easy.

Those things are the exact reason why I want one to be honest haha. I've always done them in CS and I'd love to get them to hold and mess with and do the animations IRL. Then just have them hang above my computer on my wall.

You should be fine providing you don't walk the streets with them. In my early teens i had a pretty large knife collection ranging from balisongs to big ass machetes, most of which arrived via post. It's a 50/50 chance of actually receiving them, i personally never had any issues with smaller knives but had a few parcels that didn't show up and were sent back to seller.
I do find the UK laws towards knives a little stupid. There's nothing stopping someone from carrying a regular kitchen knife around with them, so why should any other knives be restricted? A few years back someone a street over from me was assaulted by teenagers with blades from non other than the 99p store.
In the UK you're expected to be a fully trained ninja to protect yourself, and even then there's a very thin line between self defence and assault.

I have no problem with the UK banning weapons. I do think it should always be this way especially with firearms.
However, there should be a law allowing the purchase of collectable knives. You would only be able to purchase from government verified websites / shops and have to provide a license for owning such items.

Knives are not illegal carrying one however is an offence. I have a friend who carried one is now on probation.
