certainly illegal for edc but I'll be getting one for my kit. They look very handy.

It says the items are based in Romania, safe from UK laws. However since they post to here I'm gonna gamble £20 to order 1 & see what happens. Cheers

Just found this:-

Section 141 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 and the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (Offensive Weapons) Order 1988 makes it an offence to manufacture, sell or hire or offer for sale or hire, or expose or have in possession for the purpose of sale or hire or lend or give to any person any of the following weapons [7]:

Balisong or butterfly knife
Knuckleduster
Telescopic truncheon
Push dagger
Shuriken, shaken, or death star
Handclaw
Footclaw
Manrikgusari or kusari (rope, cord, wire or chain fastened at each end to a hard weight or hand grip)
Swordstick
Hollow kubotan (cylindrical container containing a number of sharp spikes)
Blowpipe or blowgun
Kusari gama (rope, cord, wire or chain fastened at one end to a sickle)
Kyoketsu shoge (rope, cord, wire or chain fastened at one end to a hooked knife)
Belt buckle knife

Think ill give it a miss ordering 1 now. Are you sure you haven't just thrown yours away?

Saying that, there's nothing there to say its illegal to possess for your own purposes (I wish I re-read it BEFORE posting).

Handclaws are illegal to sell??

to be fair there are worse things to have. but no i still have it
