Bringing knives with Baggage while coming to India

Post by ajikappil » Fri Feb 22, 2008 9:35 pm

A very basic Query !!!!

A Cousin of mine in US will be arriving in March..

Can he include a Bowie Knife in his luggage ? (Not Cabin Luggage for sure :P )

Will the Blade Length of the Bowie 8.5 Inches be an Issue ?

Please Enlighten me :wink:
