Kerrangaroo Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Your answer is there: Items that are NOT subject to control standard kitchen knives; single edge swords; traditional samurai and katana swords; bayonets designed to be fitted to a firearm; two handed opening knives; rubber training knives; multi tools; stanly knives; khukri; kukri; bowie knives; machete; spears; spear heads; bolo; dao; iaito; jian; kopis; But a penknife is a multi use tool unlike a two handed opener so it might be accepted which is why he should contact the embassy.

Kerrangaroo Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Cheers for that, perfect, it looks like it should be ok, it is a service issue 4" army knife made and stamped in Sheffield, http://www.madeinsheffield.com/view_item.asp?ProductID=135 we are also sending Some Henderson's, A tea-towel etc, basically anything Sheffield orientated. We did try Royal Mail, but was on hold for 30 Min's, so thought I'd give Sheffield Forum a whirl, Cheers. If they find the Hendo's it'll be rejected.

Cyclone Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 But a penknife is a multi use tool unlike a two handed opener so it might be accepted which is why he should contact the embassy. Doesn't that list specifically include knives that require two hands to open, which would include pen knives. It would appear from that list that you can send pretty much any bladed weapon you like.

What are you saying? Most penknives are two-handed opening knives. It is not controlled i.e. can be sent without restriction. A multi-tool is, also, not controlled and can be sent without restriction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadingNorth Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 It is highly unlikely that a 4" pocket knife, made from Sheffield steel and sent as a gift, would be considered "smuggling weaponry into Australia." But it does not hurt to have that officially confirmed in a phone call or an email. You will have to declare on the parcel what's in it, anyway; the only way that this would be likely to cause a problem is if you did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind one myself - I'm always having to remove sharp pebbles from my horses' hooves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ sheffield Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 A mate of mine deals in mainly Sheffield made knives, he is a big collector, he regularly sends bowie knives to Australia as there is a healthy market for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
