I'm pretty sure it's illegal to post knives. That website doesn't ship to Ireland either.

Going to check whether this kind of thread is allowed.

Buying knives / tools online is perfectly legal (as long as you are over 18).

Heinne have an outstanding reputation for customer service and ship to Ireland.
Also have a look at www.toolshop.de.
