Gday Shearer, welcome to the Abf, I hope you enjoy it. It's great to have another traditional pocket knife collector onboard and I look forward to some close up photos of your collection.

Sorry no daggers. You are not allow to import them, but I have a bayonet .You can import them. Go to Australian Customs Importing/Exporting Knives and they have a list of knives you can import.

Daggers can be imported provided you obtain a B709b form from you State Police and comply with the requirements of the State you live in.

[/QUOTE] Ummm i dont know who told you that porkey Shearer but your allowed to import Daggers into Australia it just requires some paperwork with the right bodies I am a big Dagger Collector

[Shearer]

I read the information of the Australian Customs .

http://www.customs.gov.au/webdata/resources/files/fs_importing_exporting_knives1.pdf

It means the average person off the street has to have permission to import these good through two government departments and you have to have a very good reason.I should have said restricted.

[gajinoz]

There is a large thread on all of this in the Law & Politics section.

[Alicia LeCroix]

Ummm no thats kinda wrong but ACS dont make it easy to understand , yes you do need a reason but collecting is a good one believe it or not and yes it is designed that if you have a criminal record you have no hope but alot of it does depends on what state you live in as you organise the B709b thru the state police force and if your in a state where daggers or double edged arnt prohibited its a rather easy process anyways if you go to the section that Gajinoz mentioned look for importing a F/S
