I see, so when you said "You cannot buy a kitchen knife" it's in the same way as if you live in the USA "You can't drive a car".

Not quite, because they prohibited this purchase to prevent "knife crime".
What do you mean? I cna buy kitchen knives in IKEA or literally any supermarket or online shop.

Care to explain?

I think you've lost the plot. I did say "under age", in fact, I was called out for not having been specific in my initial message, to which I said that the two are not comparable because the prohibition of selling knives for people underaged happened at the time they were starting to fight "knife crime".
