I emailed customer services three times asking 'WHY' they stopped listing weaponry and got the same pre-prepared response each time: "...we have stopped...".
Oddly enough, they still list Japanese swords and non-Western swords ie ethnic.
Go figure.
I also thought it was because of the difficulties with logistics but a katana differs in no way to a UK sabre as far as the world outside is concerned.
However, there were virtually no listings from UK vendors after Brexit; and many European vendors were resorting to third-party facilities to overcome customs red tape, at 100 euros a pop.
Big pity: I acquired several items from them.
