The scheme will see a one-month surrender period for owners to hand in their weapons to the police and claim compensation, which will run until Thursday, the 31st of July.
These items will be illegal to possess, sell and manufacture from Friday, the 1st of August.
Changes to the Criminal Justice Act 1988 will add ninja swords to the list of prohibited offensive weapons.
Under the scheme, these items can be surrendered to police.
Lawful owners will be able to claim compensation for the items in most cases.
The standard compensation amount for each surrendered weapon will be £5, though people will be able to claim for more if they can show that the value of their weapon exceeds this amount.
For claims for individual items worth over £5, individuals must provide purchase receipts, invoices or other suitable evidence.
For any claim for compensation for a ninja sword to be eligible under this scheme, the owner must also have evidence that they have either been the owner of the item or had contracted to acquire the item on or before last March the 27th.
Items can be surrendered at these designated front offices across Surrey:
• Guildford Police Station, Margaret Road, Guildford, GU1 4PZ
• Staines Police Station, 22 Kingston Rd, Staines, TW18 4LQ
• Caterham Police Station, Timber Hill Road, Caterham, CR3 6LD
People surrendering items must ensure that they are safe to handle while travelling to the police station and while on police premises.
They must be contained in a manner that allows them to be transported without causing distress or alarm to other members of the public.
Items must be wrapped up and placed in a sealed bag or box and must not be carried openly at any time as carrying bladed articles in public without a good reason or lawful authority is an offence.
Once in the police station, the person mustn’t take the item out until requested to do so by a police officer or member of police staff.
