Gents, on the subject of daggers I thought I'd post some timely information. In Victoria knife laws have been beefed up, especially in relation to daggers where the situation is silly.

The Sykes is a dagger in its purest form, if you resided in Victoria you would need a Chief Commissioners Authority or belong to a collecting organisation which has a Governor In Council Exemption.

If you have a dagger type knife with blades on either side, provided the sharpened edge does not run the full length of the blade (ala Skyes) it is not a dagger under the Victorian defenition.

Customs however state that as long as it has blades on both sides which do not run the full length, ie turn to a squared edge prior to the hilt, they still consider it a dagger, contrary to Victoria.

A friend imported a US Navy Divers Knife without first obtaining a B709B (Import permit) the knife was a dagger style but without the blades being sharpened the full length. The knife was seized, he was threatened with fines or imprisonment for not first applying for a B709B.

We had to find someone with an old Governor In Council Exemption for an individual (which are no longer being granted) and a new knife is to be send, the fella with the GIC collects it then gives it to my friend, no offence to possess, just gotta get it past Customs first.

I suppose posting such a lengthy reply is to advise people to be careful what they show, and secondly keep up to date with your own states knife laws, it is a case of "Yes Minister" but don't put yourself in the position where you can asked the question.

If anyone needs updated information on Vic (Aust) knife laws PM me.
