In Switzerland, some knives are considered weapons. Customers must therefore be very careful when making purchases. The Swiss Weapons Act governs the acquisition of weapons on Swiss territory, and we only offer knives in our catalog that are not considered weapons under the Swiss Weapons Act. Possession of the online models offered in our shop is entirely legal. The only condition applying to the purchase of cutlery from our shop is that you must be over 18. 

Yes, all items available on tellknives.ch are not considered weapons in Switzerland. Anyone over 18 years of age can buy a knife online without applying for an acquisition permit (PAE).

Delivery times are 5 to 7 working days. However, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that this delivery time may be longer. As cutlery is a highly regulated business, our imports are regularly subject to controls in accordance with the Law on Arms (LArm, 1997). These controls may slow down the delivery of orders to our customers.

Tellknives can advise and assist you in selling your collectible knives. We offer two types of service: consignment and complete collection buy-back. Find out more about Tellknives.

Beyond passion, a collection is also an investment. And certain knives and cutlers are more likely to give you a return on your investment when you resell them. Tellknives advises you and offers you the opportunity to buy for pleasure, while guaranteeing you a certain return on your investment. To find out more, read our article "A collection can be an investment".

We're also happy to answer any questions you may have on this subject. You can contact us via our contact form or by phone +41 22 344 11 10.
