Zombie knife
Topic: Unsolved
From Handwiki - Reading time: 1 minA zombie knife (also known as a zombie killer knife or zombie slayer knife) is a type of knife. It is defined in English law as a blade with
- a cutting edge;
- a serrated edge; and
- images or words (whether on the blade or handle) that suggest that it is to be used for the purpose of violence.[1]
The Parliament of the United Kingdom passed legislation to prohibit the sale, importation and manufacture of these knives with effect from 18 August 2016.[2][3] The prohibition was implemented by amending a statutory instrument made under the Criminal Justice Act 1988. In 2018, "The Offensive Weapons Bill". https://www.gov.uk/government/news/home-office-announces-plans-for-offensive-weapons-bill-to-tackle-serious-violence. went further and made their private possession illegal also.
