Since England is considering banning large pointy knives, what kind of
problems (if any) would I encounter attempting to mail a large kitchen
knife to a friend as a gift???

Any special packaging, declarations, permits or any other PITA
considerations?

How about a gift certificate to someplace with a location where they could
buy it over there?

Sending cutlery to England is like sending coal to New Castle.

Speaking of boobs, shelliebabie, the OP was after a particular knife
(Kiwi) and you won't find it through your link. We can see plainly that
his request went right over your head.

Too bad for you, when they were handling out brains you thought they
said trains and turned it down, choo-choo head.

Yep, I was the one who got your mother, shelliebabie, perhaps that is
why you turned out braindead. BTW, clown, I am not WOP, just WASP.

I do not ship any knives to the UK, Africa, Indonesia or the Middle
East unless they are going directly to members of the U.S. military at
an APO/FPO address. Way too many problems.

Other countries such as Australia and Italy also have tough import
restrictions with regard to knives but I can usually get around them by
declaring my product as "camping tools" or "fishing accessories."
