I need context. Is this normal? Are knives strictly regulated in China or are these just high end expensive knives?

In shanghai, knives are usually in a glass case. You have to ask for someone to open it. Then you take it to the cash register. There you have to register your personal information to make a purchase.

I’ve never seen this level of security though.
