I would ask can some one point me to the thread that can let me know what knives are banned or prohibited, i know assisted and otf are prohibited but iam a bit in the dark about the rest.
Cheers Xiii Les

Hey Les, welcome to ABF. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by home-made knives but the forum is here to encourage people to give it a go, display works by custom makers and everything else involving things pointy. If you mean custom knives when you say "home made" then I gotta tell you having had both high end production knives and custom knives, the fit,finish and attention to detail on custom knives far exceeds anything mass-produced (which is logical I guess). Have a look at our custom knife maker's area and you'll get a little taste of the talent that exists in Australia.

Hey. Welcome to the forum. I am pretty new on here too. I have a sub forum in the business park under engraving and am knife mad like most of the folk on here. I am glad you asked the question as its a point I am hazy on too. The official government write up on what is and isn't ok is a bunch of confusing legal jargen and leaves me knowing no more than I already did. Assisted opening. Most folders have a little lump or hole for you to get your thumb into? Illegal? Serated edges? Blades sharpened on both sides? .... Anyone have simple clear definitions? Thanks heaps anyone wh takes the time to answer. Regards. Danae
