Luton-based knife wholesaler surrenders 35,000 ‘zombie’ blades

Sporting Wholesale imported knives in bulk and sold to retailers. It owns the knife brand Anglo Arms, which the company admitted in 2021 had gained a “reputation with gangs, external“.

The company said earlier this year that “over the last five to six years knife crime has increased”. It added “as a result… we reduced the Anglo Arms range to cover practical and traditional knives only”.

Eddy Eliaz is the firm’s managing director and major shareholder.

His younger brother Adam Eliaz is the director and major shareholder in DNA Leisure, an online retailer, located on the same industrial estate. DNA Leisure also surrendered 1,542 knives.

Both companies announced in June they would no longer sell knives, beyond their current stock.

A post on Sporting Wholesale’s website said “after supplying the trade with cutlery and archery products for over 20 years” it was “saddened to say that Sporting Wholesale Ltd are now ceasing the sale of these items”.

It added one final shipment of the products was due to be delivered “but no new orders will be placed”.

“This is all quite unfortunate, but the UK is now not a place where these items can be openly sold,” it continued.
