Bloody hell what an array of death they have. There is no way yuou can describe these things as anything like sporting or fishing. They are designed to kill.
But I have to note that when I was 13 or so I carried a Bowie knife - different part of the world (Devon) and we lived in the country - but even then we knew it was dodgy. (Mostly used for opening shellfish ! )
Even the Tartan Tories plan to ban the display of such items is now in tatters.
"A PROPOSED ban on the public display of knives and swords to help cut crime has been quietly dropped by the Scottish government.
The ban would have stopped shops such as Glasgow's famous Victor Morris store from filling their windows with potentially lethal hunting, military and "fantasy" knives.
The start of a new licensing scheme for knife dealers has also been pushed back by almost a year, the Sunday Herald can reveal. The moves have been condemned by opposition MSPs."
