This is a normal post Unless you're absolutely willing to use one of those (as in totally off your rocker) its just another weapon for an intruder to use against you
The bit with the meat filled boot at the end made me laugh though.

Does anyone know the law on this? I'd imagine keeping even a pick axe handle for self defence purposes is a tad illegal?

This is a normal post Who cares about illegal? If the intent is to harm me or mine, a pickaxe, sword cane or pointy stick will do.
Edit: how sad that we have to question the legality of a "victim" defending him/herself.

This is a normal post Probably
but they would have to prove it. A guy I know keeps a baseball bat in his car, but he also keeps a baseball and a glove. Not illegal. After all you have to play it outdoors etc.
Might be on sticky ground if he ever does twat someone with it though.

Got a bedroom fireplace? Keep some brass bits next to it. Including a solid metal 3 foot long poker...

This is a normal post It's a collectors item
Oddly enough, this would be perfectly fine to have under the law (not to carry around, concealed weapon), since its straight, and a properly made blade.
Fake katanas that aren't properly forged (and anything else with a blade with more than a certain amount of bend) are illegal without a collector's licence, but anything well made (i.e. actually designed to kill people) is fine.

Most of this is due to how hard it is to legislate the difference between a weapon, kitchen equipment, and tools (e.g. wood axe, battleaxe, novelty meat cleaver)

This is a normal post sword canes are illegal in the UK
unless they are a certified antique, and even then, you can't wander the streets with them

This is a normal post i actually use a stick
and in the same way those foldy up ones are a bit tricky is you can catch them in the ground, curb, escaltor runner, i've done it on my own shoe. Now while the foldy up sticks cause you to go "oh scruttocks" and have to reassemble slightly... this one exposes the sharpest thing within 5 miles and leaves you with either risk of serious injury or an uncomfortable excuse and apology.

so the comfotable feeling of "it's always there" isn't a comfortable feeling anymore.

is that too many comfortables?
