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