My buddy wants to send his son, who is living in Manchester England, a knife for Christmas. Is there a blade size restriction on knives there? This would be a bowie type fixed-blade knife for display.

This would be a bowie type fixed-blade knife for display. There is no restriction of blade length as such, but be careful how you send it over. Royal Mail have apparently decided to stop transporting "weapons" which is how they will try to classify a bowie type knife ...I would therefore recommend your friend sends it via one of the other parcel services.. Also be careful on the customs declaration. If your friend marks it as a "camping tool" being sent as a gift with a value of less than say $35 he should avoid his son having to pay import duties ect.. Regards, Peter

It could certainly qualify as camping gear. Kitchen utensils?
