Will I have any issues with customs by buying a Kershaw Chive or Zing from the US? They are currently on sale on massdrop.com. Looking for a knife for my camping kit right now.

Hi,

Wondering if this thread is still active.

Looking forward to get a knife from https://ltwrightknives.com/

Anyone actively importing knives here? Looking to buy heirloom quality knives.

Indeed this thread not active anymore. I now have a hobby for knives collection and its hard to find good and exotic knives in Malaysia. Two shops I found recently sell good knives

1. Outdoor gear shop in SS15, Subang Jaya .http://www.ogm-shop.com/

2. Corezone in SS2 PJ.http://www.mycorezone.com/main.php?section=product&page=product_view&category_id=8&subcategory_id=2&display_start=0

Anyone here knows other shops?

The OGM shops does not list down all the knives in ther website but if you visit the shop, will find a lot more models. But parking at SS15 is damn terrible

I came across another websites: http://eco-sports.com.my/index.php?main_pa...x&cPath=284_117. According the their website, their situated at Taman Melawati, KL.

I have also came across the website you listed and all i can find on their web is very limited products and are old generations. Moreover, the price is so much more compared to price is US.

This knife collecting hobby in Malaysia is so cold~

I am so tempted to order knives from the USA but am so afraid of our local custom's regulation.

I've read the "CORROSIVE AND EXPLOSIVE SUBSTANCES AND OFFENSIVE WEAPONS ACT 1958" and these two description listen below are considered illegal.



My understanding:
- flick knife means switchblade which is automatic and is springs out by a press of a button that is attached to the handle.
- the normal knife most of us would normally get is the manual/spring assisted knife which requires you to push out the blade manually 20-45 degrees before the spring kicks-in and assist the blade to open up fully. And the law didn't state that spring assisted knife is illegal.

I've found some really informative information here too regarding auto and assisted knife: http://www.ebay.com/gds/Spring-Assist-Knif...04238620/g.html

I've seen a few other thread having users said they ordered from overseas and are waiting to receive it but then I can't find any updates after that in the forum. Unsure whether they received it or not

Anyone can shed some light on this? pls?

There was recently another drop for Chive and Zing also but I hesitated due to the uncertainty of our local custom ruling.

Do you have any luck for your camping kit?

Interesting to see so many knifes lovers in MY. All using expensive knifes too...

I carry a cheap Leatherman. Serving me well but the launcher sucks. Tears into my finger skin every time I uses it.

Reate knives, a mid tech that does not hurt your wallet.. using one, superb quality..

had that leatherman crater before

great slim and pocketed well.. though i must say needs a little tender care as it rust easily

yeah if i need to open-close many times throughout the day my thumb will be slightly sore

have ur knife closed yet?

it has liner lock as what i can see

u may google for that.. basically push the thing underneath the blade edge with ur thumb and slightly push the dull edge with ur index finger while keeping the other three of ur finger off the slot where the blade will be folded into

hope this helps

that one like classic folder series or something right?

looks like the knife that comes with nail clipper lol

with that price i would go for a rather well known modern functioning knives.. of course different type altogether..

unless thats what u really fancy

ok enough necroing here

LOL already know how to close it Basically you have to press down the jagged edge protusion like a button and it will fold up and close

Lol ok

When i first look see lockback folder i also like ok now how do i close it lol

Prefer liner lock > all

Rust? It is made of 420HC Stainless Steel. Mine has no sign of rust. Stains maybe.

You are right about the thumb. It gets really sore after some time. Can't emphasize enough that the launcher is really stupid.

it does

even one full day if i put in pocket n sweat a lot it will rust.. just small dots here n there no biggie

i have another 440C steel blade, not as easy to rust..

well.. always valid reason to upgrade

I love Spyderco knives..

i bought an emerson commander around 4-5 yrs ago from ebay...shipped direct from US and it's not being hold-up by kastam. Got through to my house address within 2wks time.

But it was quite some time ago..so rules might have changed...specially with GST and what not nowadays..

here in maysia, it's always better to edc a cheap knife..coz u wont know when urs will be confiscated..

i edc a paraframe 2...bought it at nz for around NZD20+ only...wont cry if got confiscated..

Vs



Which?
