Ebay Banning Knife Sales

[pikergonecarpin]

The trouble ebay are having, is that buying knives from there is anonymous, and all too easy.

 

If you have a look at YouTube/Myspace/Bebo or any of the social networking type sites. Teenagers openly post pictures of themselves posing with knives/swords etc because it's a cool thing to do apparently. See : http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/the_p_wo...000/7852248.stm

 

If ebay preventing sales of these weapon types makes it slightly harder for them to get hold of a "cool" rambo hunting knife, then i think this can be a good thing. People after legitimately legal knives etc can still obtain them, but face to face, preferably where the vendor can ask for, and see proof of age. A 12 year old isn't likely to be entertained buying dangerous weapons like these from reputable shops.

 

Just my opinion

Here's what ebay's (in the majority, though some came from other internet sellers) done for my knife rack, I'm more than a little narked that I'll have to look elsewhere for my tools now

 

 

For scale the big old Sabatier third from right on the top rack has a 14 inch blade

The little fish shaped one nearest your photograph looks bloody lethal

There's not a bottle in the house that doesn't quake at the sight of that little bugger

That'll be a palette knife, for baking and other girly pursuits, never touch it myself, the two pronger is for mugging two very thin people at once.

 

i'd ban the palette knife it could give you some pretty nasty lift or turn wounds or even a flick wound

in martial arts bending it and thwacking someone could be lethal

In some ways it's even more deadly than a metal ruler and we all know how much safer our streets have been since they were banned.

when you twang it on the side of your desk the note isnt so good though

I know, I hate the bloody thing, it's brought me nothing but unhappiness

I used to got to school with someone called Brendan Thwacker.

 

Is my wife weird? My wife is weird, she uses a palette knife for painting........must be why the bathroom smells of omelette and fish

I went to school with a kid called Robin Chalk, we had hours of fun with student teachers when we hid the chalk, he gamely took the blame and then when he gave his name, well you can guess the rest

we went to school with a kid called austin maurice ,we never found many car related jokes after the first week to pick on him
