Custom Made Blades That You Can Legally Own

 While custom-made or signature blades can be an exquisite and admirable item to own, you need to be aware of what you can and cannot own before you make a purchase to avoid any legal trouble. If you are ordering online, it is expected of the business to be legal and safe to make purchases from; however, it is always good to double-check the items that you have in your shopping cart before making the payment. 

To do so, you should know the kinds of blades that are legal in the UK. Keep reading to learn more about them.

1. Handmade scissors

While they sound harmless and completely unnecessary to think twice about, handmade scissors are also blades and hence, are included in the rules that decide which blades are publicly legal. 

Handmade scissors can be used for many things: as multipurpose kitchen scissors, as cigar cutters, craftsman scissors, custom-made barber scissors, and much more. You could customise these any way you want - you could engrave initials or designs on them, get them designed for a particular purpose, or have them made from a specific material; a lot can be done to handmade scissors.

2. Spyderco UK Penknife

We cannot talk about legal knives in the UK and not mention the Spyderco UK Penknife. The reason for it to be typically owned and popular is because it was designed specifically keeping in mind the list of laws in mind regarding knives in the UK. It checks off all the “legal boxes” in the list so you can rest assured that you are safe and out of legal trouble. 

The knife is manufactured with premium-quality material with a ~3-inch steel blade and handle. It weighs only less than 2 ounces. You could get it easily customised at any store or place that customises knives.

3. Victorinox Spartan Swiss Army Knife

There is no way we can talk about knives and fail to mention the Victorinox Spartan Swiss Army Knife. It is the classic stainless steel folding knife that has transcended the test of time. While a majority of the knives in the traditional Victorinox model comply with or fall under the UK knife laws, fair few models with longer blades need to be examined before making a purchase. 

It has multiple blades, a reamer, can opener, corkscrews, toothpick, a bottle opener, screwdrivers, tweezers & much more. You could customise it in many different ways, similar to the ways other foldable knives are customised. 

While one can own a knife for multiple reasons: a style statement, self-defence, safety in the workplace, travelling alone - it is always better to be aware of the legal laws and regulations regarding knives to be clear of all possible legal trouble, regardless of whether the knife has been used or not.
