The company said it would not comment. Sporting Wholesale's knives were delivered on 36 pallets carrying hundreds of boxes Supt Alex House, who leads on knife crime for Bedfordshire Police, said the knives and machetes had "no other use" than as weapons. "There’s no other practical use for them," he told the BBC. "If you look at the design... the purpose is to kill and maim."
