One of my mates used to order quite a few from china, sorry I dont remember the site, but it was quite a big, reliable one. They used to mark the boxes "fishing tackle or tools" and add a few extra nuts and bolts. I dont know whether it was to get round china`s customs or ours....

Nope, it`s because Balisongs are illegal in the UK

Are they though? I just had a look on butterflyknifebutterflyknifes.com? and they had a world legislation bit on there, and it said that in the uk, their classed as an offensive weapon, is that the same as illegal/banned? For the price they`re asking, I`d risk getting one sent.

I'm pretty sure Butterflies are on the list of banned knives in the UK.

[bobcullen79 1,495]

butterflyknifebutterflyknife.com Check the legal bit. says their only illegal in the street, however, they may be seized during import.

 

Legal, Illegal, it dont matter... My mate has had more than a few through the post.

[Rake aboot 4,935]

Illegal

 

Trust me mate.. I carry a knife everywhere I go, so I made sure I know the law on them

 

Balisongs are illegal bud. Thats a foriegn site yer on,, would you really trust them. If customs open and find one in a parcel adressed to you, you have then got to talk your way out of court.

[ratpackjack 272]

I did not know this will tell my lad its a no go then

[bobcullen79 1,495]

Like I said, legal, illegal, makes no difference, if you want one, you can get them online... I think my mate had about 17 different ones sent through the post, and not once did one go astray and there was never a knock on the door, a few nuts and bolts surely didnt outsmart customs every time? I understand your saying their illegal(to carry) but are they illegal to own, indoors, part of a collection?

Hi they are classed as an offensive per sey that means that it is an offence to sell, offer for sale, import, manufacture or otherwise give away a butterfly knife, or indeed have in your possession in a public place, this rule applies to all listed articles in the offensive weapons act 1988 with

the exemptions of antiques or lawful authority,

 

Hope this helps

[ratpackjack 272]

Looks like he won't be getting one anytime soon

It`s also legal to keep an automatic knife that you already own,, but you can`t take it out of the house,, or sell it, or use it, or throw it away.

 

Just not worth the hassle mate. specially if some FEO clocks anything during a sudden visit.
