Campaigners are calling for a ban on the sale of lethal machetes which can be easily bought for less than £10.
A petition, launched by a knife attack victim, has already attracted 72,000 signatures from both north and south of the border. Last week the Sunday Mail found machetes of all shapes and sizes easily available online, with some on sale for as little as £9.95 and delivered straight to your door.
One firm advertised a weapon called a Deluxe Rambo IV Machete, describing it as a survival knife, for £39.99. Support for the ban has also been given by the two main opposition parties in Scotland and victims.
