Buying swords and heavy bowie knives

maverick786us · Post by **maverick786us** » Thu May 08, 2014 12:48 pm

I am intrested in buying Katana sword from Cart2India, which import these weapons for US. The good part about Cart2india is, they alreay include the custom duty with the price, so I don't have to deal with the customs. I have purchased numerous knives from this dealer through ebay.

Now the question is, what kind of issue could i face if i buy a Japanease Katana and some heavy bowie knifes, whose blade exceeds more than 10 inches? According to the law anything where the blade exceeds 10 inch length and 2 inch width is illegal to possess or carry around? Will such a product lost in the transit, or will I get some legal notice from custom officers?

Hi,
The reply is best of my knowledge and experience. I have never imported a over length knife (BTW its 9 inches blade length not 10 ) but planning to get coldsteel gladius or cutlass machete from them. Now my understanding is if the product is listed they know they can get it. This is off course considering you have already spotted your choice on there website. Try checking junglee.com they keep listing from cart2india and few more website. Just select the once with COD and charges all inclusive to insure you won't have to pay extra and go through the hassle of refund if you mind that. Most give you that option. Hope it helps.
ADD: its illegal to carry not posses at home. Anyone please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks for the info. I found all these things in Junglee.com where these weapons were dealt by Cart2india. Looks like they don't have any knowledge about rules. I am interested in Rambo 3 knife. and some katana. But don't know if its worth buying these 2 weapons

If you want them just for display and conversation starters go ahead or you may describe what you want out of your purchase.
I would love to tell me favorites from the site. Been ogling the website for few days now.

Thanks. How good is the quality of steel that they use? Is it as good as original Japanese?

Some of the knives and machetes made in India (particularly in the north east) are very practical and of good quality especially the ones made from leaf springs of trucks / cars though they require regular sharpening. Have used a few myself and found them pretty good though they don't have a very good finish.

Can you provide me some online shopping link of this dealer, so that I can order a Katana Sword?

Yes Maverick, you just need to lookout for khukriwala emporium and about your first question,no,finishing may not be as excellent as that of Japanese,but you can opt for damascus steel.

so we can purchase any sword or weapon from junglee or cart2india?

any length and they will not be confiscated via customs guys?

Simple answer is no. You cant purchase anything over 10inches from that site. Have ordered a number of knives from there. But they will not ship anything above 10inches. Even if your order gets through, they will later send an email saying that the item cannot be exported. The same goes for all the scopes listed on the site.
They have a list of banned items that cannot be e ported to india at the bottom of their webpage that clearly mentions this too.

Everything that is legally permitted ships promptly and i have never had any complaints with their quality or delivery.
