It`s very likely illegal , as are most things in the UK . The UK is the world`s foremost example of what happens when the population allows the government to dictate every aspect of their lives and legislate "political correctness" and "politically correct" laws that border on total insanity !! The ONLY product available in the UK that`s perfectly legal are KNEEPADS to keep the citizens comfortable while they grovel and whimper as their government walks all over them !!

I'm pretty sure it's legal so long as you don't carry it around in your pocket when you're out & about - as the police can stop and search you if they don't like the look of yo or if you happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time - you could be charged with carrying an offensive weapon.
