Get the same with booze, a flash of the driving licence usually suffices,

Age 61 and 10/12

very easy for a child sneaking onto dads pc, so I agree something is needed.

Easier to go into the kitchen and find half a dozen sharp knives!

I have no issue with a random delivery driver bowling up and asking for proof of age if the recipient is or could be a minor. What I object to is the idea that said random delivery driver should be entitled to see official personal documentation. or that Amazon should expect said information to be given to them up front. The question is easy... Is this person a minor or appears to be? Answer: refuse to hand over without age verification. Otherwise tick the box and everyone bar Nanny is happy.

Amazon lets you stay logged in and only one click to purchase so very easy for a child sneaking onto dads pc, so I agree something is needed.

You will never stop the criminals intent on carrying a knife but it may reduce the ease for a 13 year old from self harming or something like that. There is a reason they wont sell bladed items to under 18's in a real shop and I sort of agree with it.

But they can buy a car. ????

With whats going on in our inner city's regarding knife crimes etc then i am all for age restrictions on those craft knives...Easy to conceal and dispose of once your daughters or sons face has been sliced and if it stops only 20% of feral rats walking around with them in there pockets then it has to be a sensible ruling surely.

I had a shotgun license at 14...

Yes, it is a very valid point and like Communism it's an excellent idea. The issue is with the real world. Said thugs are not going to be buying from Amazon to begin with and even if they were, a tiny obstacle like that would be easily overcome. Look how easy it is to acquire firearms and you don't buy those openly from online stores.

Transport anyone convicted of a serious knife crime [e.g. assault/stabbing etc] to an offshore island, in batches. Give them an identical knife each but little food. Return in six months and you'd only have one to deal with. It'd have the added bonus of freeing up space in prison/YoI....win, win. [awaits ]

Draconian, moi?

But we both know the real world is long gone, Its like Gotham City out there with no rules. FYI kids buy everything online these days including Amazon. Without sounding harsh when is the last time you worked/walked/spent time in one of our main big city's? .Handy disposable razor blades is not something i want freely available, if they can ban vapes to our young then they should be banning or making it hard to buy blades too and we just have to work around the rules by spending 15 seconds to fill a form in to acquire them.

Every weekday for 40 years!

Admit it. You’re cashing in on the NHS waiting lists and doing back street open heart surgery with a free vasectomy.

In the back of a Scimitar

When I was 16 I carried around a dozen knives in my back pack on an FS1E moped.
Then got on a train and when I got off I walked across the city to the food and Domestic Arts College and never once did I even think about stabbing anyone.

Carrying a 14" Bowie knife strapped to your leg 30 years ago was considered normal if wearing combat trousers

if you buy kitchen knives in shops they check you for age these days. one of my neighbours went to a party in 2018 I'd known him since he was a baby and at 17 he was murdered at the party, he was stabbed to death by someone he didnt know, he just took a dislike to him. Thats real life.

Has these kind of killings diminished with the age laws being enacted ?

Excuse me ?
I'm asking if these new laws cited up above, have they worked ?
