Answer 1

i think they are against the law in the UK here is a link showing the trouble you can get into by having such a weapon on your person......

That depends,

It is legal to own Knuckledusters, Brass Knuckles, Knuckleduster Trench Knives, Flick Knives, Butterfly Knives (Bali song), Samurai Swords and the like. Provided you do not take them outside your own property or property of which you are the lawful occupier.

e.g. You can legally have them in your front garden in full view of the police or anyone else.

It is however a serious offence to have such a thing in your possession in a public place or to import, manufacture or offer them for sale.

The sentencing guidelines relate to possession in a public place without good reason. (or possession with intent which need not be in a public place).

Of course since the import, manufacture or sale is prohibited it would be a little difficult to claim a good reason for having them in your possession in a Public Place.

Answer 2

Yes but you can still buy them
