Not really a gun... but

Hi guys, anyone know the law for nsw and vic when it comes to swords? Can you just go and buy a authentic katana?

NSW it is fine to own but VIC from memory you need to be a member of a blade collectors guild/club. VIC has stupid laws for knives/swords.

In NSW - YES. In Vic - NO.

In Vic you need a special permit.

See below in Special Information http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Saigo-Black- ... Swi7RZM-uI

I'm not suggesting that sword, but the info makes my point.

If you want one check out Lawrance Ordnance. I have never bought an Asian sword of any type from them, but I have bought a few Windlass and Hanwei European swords (which are made in Asia, I admit, but European style).

No. Not in Vic http://www.police.vic.gov.au/content.as ... t_ID=25574

Bugger, I was reading all the prohibited items while others were posting.

In Victoria we even have laws about pocket knives and leatherman's
Authentic katanas are thousands of dollars aren't they?

It seems that one pair of my Motorcycle gloves are prohibited weapons! As they have hard material (carbon fibre) over the knuckles.

I have a pair of gloves like that wombat. But mine were cheap eBay ones I bought when I was 12. Weird how my 12 year old hands could only just fit in them and they said XXL. 17 now and there is no way they would fit.
