Why do I need to provide proof of age for bladed items?

At Robert Welch we treat our customers’ safety with the utmost care and take our social responsibility very seriously and we will do everything possible to ensure that our bladed items are delivered to the correct recipient. Changes to UK law mean that all knives, including cutlery knives, have now become 18+ Age Restricted Items. As part of this commitment, we will perform a check on all Age Restricted sales and deliveries of a bladed item using Agechecked. You can learn more about the process here.
