Lost a knife to day

well actualy ownership IS prohibited!!! So come on Carl tell us!!! Do you know someone at the Justice ministery???
 
AARRGH!!!!!!! :eek: I didn't know that!! I understand much better why knives nuts can really be bitter about the last two laws ,regarding knives, the danish government instaured :barf:
It really smells like "ploutocratie" over there in denmark, it's getting really close to dictatorship :(

REFUSE, RESIST !! (and keep on rocking!)
 
Actualy...I wonder if it could be a good idea to get the adress of the office in charge for this kind of laws and ask people of the Blade forum to write! Imagine if all of us send a letter where we explain them than knives don't mean psychopats and that collect knives is not dangerous! could be great uh?
 
Yop, good idea, well at least this could create a mass wave big enough to be meaningful and show them how strong is our lobby :D (not kidding neither).
We should write a standard letter that everyone sending it, would just have to sign and indicate their names on, what about it?
I was wondering if the danish government was considering kitchen knives as weapons and if they were planning to impose the use of plastic knives instead? :p
(I don't remember where I saw stats that indicate that over 90% of the knife attacks/crimes were perpetrated with kitchen knives... anyone did see those stats?)
 
they seem to forget that! Actualy you're right! in Denmark 77% of the crimes comited with a knife was comited with "bread knives"...
it's soooooooooo stupide...
 
Hi. Just to avoid confusion, my Sebenza is without the thumb stud and now perfectly legal. The deal was I could have if it was legalized. To me not having the thumb stud is a small sacrifice compared to not having a Sebenza. After handling if for 24 hours I understand why it often ends at the top of the priority lists.

As you all know it all started with the police wonting to destroy the knife because it was illegal in relation to Danish legislation. Inspired by your sympathetic and relevant comments and based on my own good experience talking to people I contacted the police proposing to either send the knife back to US for a refund or legalisation. The police answered after considering the options that they would accept it shipped back to US. I then contacted the factory inquiring if they were able to remove the thumb stud and ship the knife back to me. But no – due to policy no knife can leave the factory in imperfect condition (I can appreciate that, but that posed a problem to me). With that knowledge I contacted the police again and they again investigated the matter and decided they were willing to let me have the knife if I removed the thumb stud. Naturally I agreed and I have after worth done the small operation – thanks to instructions from Chris Reeve and if any of you ever end in that situation the thing you use to dislocate a bicycle chain is a perfect tool for the job.

So my conclusion is you can come a long way with a positive dialog and the police will go a long distance to help and assist you when the can. It’s the politicians who sometimes loose their focus.

is the thumb stud user replaceable? can't you ask crk to send a new one and install it on your own?
 
Great to hear Carl!
As I mentioned, one of the officers I spoke to was very interested in helping me out and had absolutely no negative attitude towards me.
I think courtesy goes a long way in this and you are quite right regarding our politicians!
 
Point44; I don’t think it’s possible to mount a new thumb stud yourself without the proper tools. It has a very tight fit and I needed some force to press it out. The knife if pretty easy to open anyway, 2-handed that is – one handed is nearly impossible.

By the way has anybody a suggestion to what to do with the hole. What can I fill it with (not with a thumb stud off cause) but so it doesn’t look like something missing.

maybe a piece of mother of pearl? (would have to be awful small though). So would it be illegal to have it with a thoumbstud, or to carry it having one?
 
Maybe you could ask Chris Reeve to send you a thumb-stud? I think a piece of circular metal/plastic/whatever it's made of is legal in Denmark as long as it isn't attached to a blade.
