Market Challenges And Opportunities

However, complete ban on certain knives is expected to hamper growth of the blade market over the forecast market. For instance, it is illegal in the U.K. to use butterfly knives, flick knives, disguised knives, gravity knives, and others. In U.K., Knives Act 1997 forbids sales of combat knives and prohibits knives from being used as an offensive weapon.

Moreover, in India, according to the Arms Act 1959, it is illegal to carry blades, which are longer than 9mm or wider than 2mm. If the person is found possessing illegal blades, it is considered as a public offence and punishable under Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the individual can be asked to implement a peace bond under the Code of Criminal Procedure (CRPC).
