Bladed weapons ban in Calvados: Must be submitted by December 7th!
In a drastic step to improve public safety, the French Ministry of the Interior issued new regulations on the possession of bladed weapons on September 5, 2025. These measures, which particularly target the increasing violence among minors and the use of dangerous bladed weapons, were communicated by the Prefecture of Calvados on October 23, 2025. It shows that the state is determined to tackle the worrying trends that are affecting society. Actu.fr reports that…
The new regulations affect a large number of bladed weapons that are now classified as dangerous. These include, among other things, “zombie” knives, large knives with a blade length of over 40 cm, as well as special models of brass knuckles that are either historical or were made in combination with other weapons. Anyone in possession of these weapons must hand them in to the police or gendarmerie by December 7, 2025 at the latest. Anyone who fails to comply with this request must expect draconian penalties: up to 5 years in prison and a fine of up to 75,000 euros.
Regulations for traders
The new regulations apply not only to private individuals, but also to retailers. They must also hand over all dangerous bladed weapons by December 7, 2025; their manufacture and sale are strictly prohibited after this date. Violations of this ban can be punished with up to 7 years in prison and a fine of up to 100,000 euros. In addition, dealers are required to apply for a permit to sell bladed weapons from the prefecture by March 7, 2026. Pyrénées-atlantiques.gouv.fr informs that…
An important aspect of these regulations is the sale of bladed weapons to minors, which is also strictly prohibited. All stores must clearly mark this to ensure no sales are made to young people. This initiative aims to protect youth from the potential dangers of dangerous bladed weapons.
The protection of the public
The changes to gun law place a clear focus on the dangers of certain bladed weapons. As part of a comprehensive analysis of youth violence presented to the Prime Minister on May 28, 2025, the list of weapons considered dangerous was expanded and ultimately updated. These include butterfly knives, automatic folding knives and even ninja stars. Essai-armes.fr explains that…
To minimize any potential hazard, bladed weapons may not be carried or transported without a legitimate reason. Items that are commonly used in everyday life, such as pocket knives or scissors, can be considered weapons if they are transported without valid justification. In such a case, you face up to one year in prison and a fine of 15,000 euros. These regulations ensure that anyone who carries such items does so for a proper and justifiable reason.
The new regulations come at a time when society is more concerned about security than ever and offer a strategic response to the problem of gun ownership and use in France.
