Laws on age limits, purchase and sale of knives and swords
Armament is mentioned by The Penal Code which they say one can be punished with fines and or jail for up to 6 months if you join knife or objects suitable for use in a public place .
The prohibition does not apply to knives or tools used in connection with work, outdoor life or other worthy purpose, e.g. a. as part of national costume. The Pentagon recommends a clearer knife in a work context with the police, as they have the opportunity to test the situation and seize things they consider weapons.
The law says little about the age limit on knives other than that pointed and egged weapons over 25 cm. shall have a 16-year age limit. We believe this is not enough, and operate with two age limits and a duty of identification.
