Ah sucks, I use to get couple of bb guns, then I got one confirscated and a letter sent, and I appealed to try and get it through but I was stuck, at the time bb/airsoft guns were a grey area. The customs sent me to the ploic,e police snet me back to customs, and yea in the end someone said no. This was before the terrorist stuff, I so badly want one again, so fun. There is just something about playing with a "handgun" like thing without actually doing anything majorly dangerous.
Well customs are over thorough they are dumb sometimes.
They confirscated a katana that had faux ivory tsuka/handle and wante dto sned it away for testing, as ivory is illegal, for christ sake it had mold lines on it!!! I ende dup getting it anyways cause the person igher up was obviously alot smarter than who originally deemed it ivory, but had to pay for it to be released.
And well switchblades and balisong/butterlfy knives are illegal.
Ashame, I so badly wnata balisong/butterfly, due to the personal skill and practise to master it. (It has been proven, the are easily concealable and could be used to rob etc, but totally suck as a combat knife, they just look threatening being flipped and manipulated).
And well decorative samurais swords vs weapons? Just cause it is metal doesnt mean it is real... stainless steel swords are brittle and could neva be used for sword fighting.....
but I had a high carbon forged sword delivered to my door from overseas for iaido.... out of multiple things I have ordered this was the one that brought me least problems.
Are you sure sais are illegal? hmm
They are at alot of martial art stores me thinks...
Kama are illegal I think though...
