Mark, hope your well buddy? Another great video and sound sorted nicely. A question if I may, what if any licensing rules are on that beast and with the recent attack in London with a sword do you think a ban in owning these will soon be put in place?
Thanks, Martin. All is going well. As usual, it's all the rest of them we need to worry about. ;) Your question is a very good one. At the moment you can own one of those without any questions being asked, so long as it never leaves your home, unless you have an officially arranged reenactment event or something similar. Some opportunist MPs are already stirring up a lot of trouble and trying to ban swords. It bothers me because the vast majority; over 99% of violent crimes with a blade, involve a kitchen knife. I can't imagine anybody who has nasty intent is going to spend at least £200 on a good quality sword when they can buy a machete for £30 that will carry out what they want it to just as well. Who knows what bizarre things are going to happen in politics in the next few years. We must remember that currently, in the UK, we can legally buy that Poleaxe but cannot buy or import two 10-inch pieces of wood joined together with a three-inch piece of chain; the nunchaku or "nunchucks". That's for no reason except that many MPs are poorly informed and quite hysterical.
@@TripleMHimself Thanks Mark, personally I think people who make rules for something they know absolutely nothing about need a kick up the arris, but hey this is England LOL
