OZ members. Can you receive knives in the post from overseas?

Hi Rod,
This has been a really informative thread for me. I had no idea how Draconian Australian laws are on importing knives now.
Even UK law (which I thought was positively Orwellian) seems light by comparison.
Its such a chame when a few idiots cause governments to feel the need to impliment such harsh laws,
As I've said, i'm a peace loving vegan! I collect edged weapons because of their historical importance and film props because I like movies!
I don't even like stepping on snails by accident!
Hardly a threat to society!
And yet we collectors are frowned on by society and somehow equated with knife crime (most of which in the UK is perpetrated with kitchen knives).
Its about as logical as demonising Chefs!

*rant over*

;-)

Regards
Gene
