Spring Punch.

Post by jarndice »

I know what a "Spring Punch" is but I have never seen one in the UK which makes me wonder if it is legal in the UK?
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Yes, they are still legal, you have to get them from a dedicated engineer supplier. Or eBay. I have one, but mine is over 40 years old

Thanks Mick, I wondered about the legality because they work on the same principle as a flick knife and right now the Constabulary are taking great interest in knife crime. :thumbdown:
