Thinking of taking a hunting knife into Australia, then you should read this!








There used to be time when you could bring into Australia in your checked luggage a hunting knife for hunting and camping obviously. If it wasn't a dagger or automatic knife or other banned weapon, No problems, just show the customs officer by declaring it and that's it. 

Not any more. The rules have changed. You now require permit to import a sheath knife even if it's for hunting purposes. 

Don't get caught out or you may find your knife gets confiscated even if it's not an illegal weapon.

Addendum: Best to seek out the approval of Customs and the latest is this single edged knife is Ok to bring into Australia in checked luggage but the rules are different for importing (presumably for resale as apposed to just personal usage)
