Knife Crime

Did you know that it’s against the law to purchase a knife if you’re under 18?

We work with Trading Standards teams to educate and enforce knife sales law, helping retailers to understand the part they play in keeping knives off the streets.

If you have the good fortune to look younger than you are, don’t be annoyed if a retailer asks to see your proof of age at the till, many also operate the Challenge 25 scheme when it comes to knife sales.
