Default Bringing a knife from overseas
Hi,

I wanted to bring back some knives from abroad, for display purposes.

Only problem is they are not currently in display boxes..

Is this possible? They will be checked in the luggage and wrapped up.

Any thoughts?

Yes. Anyone with knives on display is liable to get a face full of CS spray when the old bill pop round for a cuppa.

They'll be fine in checked luggage - but best to check the airlines T&C's first.

I was thinking the customs here in the uk.

I have bought 2 back before, though they have been in display boxes.

I would have thought that as long as they were well packaged so they could not be used on the spot and you declared them before they were found by the Customs, you should be alright.

They should be fine in checked-in baggage, didn't have any problems with my AR-15 and Glock 21.
