swords

A consultation on banning "ninja swords" was also announced this week.

The government would also pass a new law to ban the sale of ninja and samurai swords, she said.

She told the Labour party conference on Monday that young people were likely to turn to kitchen knives or swords instead and wants the online sale of all large knives banned.

Of these, 14 involved machetes, seven involved zombie knives and three involved swords.

It said it was considering a further ban on ninja swords and making it harder to buy dangerous weapons online.
