Knife Purchasing Policy

Make Your Own Medieval sell knives which are designed for the following purposes:

• Eating
• Preparing food
• Utility purposes
• Display (eg museum or historical educational display)
• Props or costume (some example uses include for film, reenactment or living history)

None of our bladed knives are intended for any other purpose, and by purchasing a knife you agree to only use it for a lawful reason.

Under new (2024) legislation, knives have restrictions of sales to minors. You must be aged 18 years or older to purchase:

• any knife with a metal blade, this includes cutlery (eating knives) and kitchen knives, with the exception of an exempt knife.
  
• Knives which are exempt include:
• plastic or wooden knives designed to be used for eating
• knives with a rounded or dull edge (eg a butter knife)
  
• cheese knives

In purchasing a knife, you agree you are aged 18 or older and not purchasing on behalf of a minor.
