Part 3: Sale and delivery of knives Section 41: Meaning of "bladed product" in sections 38 to 40
For the purposes of sections 38 to 40 of the Act, a "bladed product" is an article which is or has a blade and which is capable of causing serious injury to a person’s skin by cutting (subsection (1)). Bladed articles not falling within this definition can continue to be delivered to residential premises.
	Subsection (2) excludes from the definition of bladed product those articles covered by section 1 of the Restriction of Offensive Weapons Act 1959 (flick knives and gravity knives). It also excludes items described in an order made under section 141A(3)(c) of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 because these items are excluded from the prohibition on the sale of bladed articles to a person under 18.
