Hmm double edged knife/sword blades are not legal in Australia to my knowledge.But I dida make it clear mine was a knockoff. The original I ordered was 700 aus bucks, glad I did cancel the order though, not one fucken hitchhiker on the road since I got the knife. Where are all the tourists
Still not sure if it's legal in NSW as they mention gravity knives, they are definitely sold in Australia though
Yeah, the second half is definitely the best part
Hitchhikers in the future. But seriously I got it because it was unusual. I actually have no use for it atm
Many retailers take precautionary measures to avoid compliance headaches. Most if not all knives are legal to own and possess (ie at home, with the lights off, under a blanket, god forbid you actually went outside)

@mark22 unfortunately, your knowledge is only correct for victoria. in other states, swords are legal, and double edged blades/daggers are legal in Qld, NSW, Tasmania, WA and the NT.
Knives are cool and I like looking at them.... maybe a new thread for knife porn?Many retailers take precautionary measures to avoid compliance headaches. Most if not all knives are legal to own and possess (ie at home, with the lights off, under a blanket, god forbid you actually went outside)
Daggers and swords can be purchased and owned without a permit in NSW, but require a permit in Vic, for example.

This is an example of an actual gravity knife, the Reate Exo.

No idea why these are illegal in so many places. They're really no more dangerous than the average pocket knife. Subscribe for DAILY knife content! https://y...
It could be argued that most folding knives with a locking mechanism could be a gravity knife. if you depress and hold the lock mechanism on many folding knives, the blade will swing freely to the open position, assuming the pivot bolt hasn't been over tightened, but they are not gravity knives.
The action of the Paragon Warlock is unique. Having a double edge would technically make it a dagger, in any case.

Even in Victoria, if you hold a prohibited weapon permit, or are a member of an exempt organization, swords and daggers can be purchased and owned. The conditions are fairly strict, but there is also no reason to be waving them around in public, nor in fact with Any large blade.
If one is carrying a pocket knife in public, if stopped by the cops you must have a lawful excuse for carrying it, and a proper reason, not some piss-take. eg: If you are " going fishing" there must be fishing gear, not 'fishing' on tinder.
It's also common sense to know that, at law, you are prohibited from taking any kind of blade into a licenced premises.
Keep in mind that the majority of knife/blade crimes are committed with cheapo kitchen knives, and when it's dickhead young people & teenagers, those kitchen knives are nicked from their parents cutlery draw or knife block, so prohibiting sales of kitchen knives to people under 18 generally has little effect in prevention.
Sure, why not. A folding knife or a multitool is a useful thing to have in a pack, along with water, food, and a first aid kit when you are on a trail a long way from home or your car.
Yep, this fella gets it. Knives are super cool
Thanks for that. I was wondering about my titanium "dagger" for scuba diving that's not very threatening.Many retailers take precautionary measures to avoid compliance headaches.

Dude, not to worry, there are so Many good knifemakers in Australia. Over the past 10-15 years, the local scene has got bigger and bigger. Some of these guys go to sell their wares at Blade show in Atlanta, Murica - the absolute biggest knife show there is. (not just american exaggeration).I really want one of these - Sadly he's stopped making knives according to the comments -

It's a dive knife. use it for purpose, don't carry it anywhere weird, and no-one will care. they usually have a squared off 'tip' for chiselling and levering things, like tasty oysters and mussels off the rock they have anchored themselves to.
I still have my huntsman knife from my pre-teen years (so over 35 years old!). But there's something about this (or this style of) knife that says it will last a lifetime and be the only knife you'll ever need. It's a beautiful thing
My grandfather bought a late 19th century Bowie knife. Went from him to my father who broke the handle and bent the tang using it as a throwing knife. I inherited it and straightened the tang and made a new handle. Showing signs of use and abuse but still agreat hunting knife. Luckily I could save the original guard thought the remnants of the elk horn handle weren't usable. Couple of years ago I gave it to #1 son. Not sure what steel it is made from but man it holds an edge.I still have my huntsman knife from my pre-teen years (so over 35 years old!).
