Two zombie knives were seized during a police search of a house in Torquay town centre, Devon and Cornwall Police said.
Officers said Class A and B drugs were also seized from the property along with suspected drug-dealing paraphernalia.
Police said they obtained a warrant to search the property on Tuesday last week after they "listened to concerns from local people".
A person was arrested for possession with intent to supply and possession of an offensive weapon and they remain in custody, police said.
'Safe place'
Inspector Chris Lithgow said it had been a "positive result" for people in the area.
"Knife crime is not a major issue in Devon and Cornwall, this includes Torquay," he said.
"We do take knife crime very seriously and will continue to remove knives from the streets. Torquay remains a safe place to visit, work and live."
The search was conducted by Torquay neighbourhood officers and the neighbourhood support team, police said.
