Petition Action

Create a governing body for sport throwing of knives and axes.

Petition Details

As a member of the UK Knife, Axe and Tomahawk Throwing Association (KATTA), and with the ongoing debates regarding knofe crime, I believe it is essential to set up some sort of governing body/local authority regarding the carriage of knives and axes solely for use in the sport of throwing at a club.

Additional Information

There are a great many individuals in the UK and worldwide who take part in knife and axe throwing, if new legislation is brought in regarding the carrying of knives, there should also be amendments/legislation regarding the carriage of knives for sport purposes, possibly with the assistance of local police/local authorities to avoid people being arrested for carrying knives/axes for sport purposes with no criminal intent.
