I WRITE in response to the letter from Jonathan Crook concerning our stock ('Law on knives is still too weak', Evening Press, December 16).

Firstly, for Mr Crook a little knowledge is potentially dangerous. Secondly, Blue Moon Trading does not sell flick knives or butterfly knives. Both items have been illegal for many years.

As for the letter from Mr Crook, I must advise the writer to do his homework first because our solicitors are not only expensive but also very efficient. Just a warning shot.

It is the season of goodwill. Merry Christmas.

Stuart Sykes,

Blue Moon Trading,

Goodramgate, York.
