double edged, no

Yes. As long as g*rda doesn't see it in which case it gets confiscated

only one its side is sharpened
(and the blade is 16.5cm, shitty photo bc bad lights)

A few years ago I bought a "tacticool" knife in Sydney, near central station. The guy flat out asked me if I was in a gang or something, to which I laughed and said it was for camping (it wasn't, I just wanted the tryhard looking knife for some reason).
Considering the area it was ridiculously easy for me to buy the knife. I was around 20 at the time and probably looked closer to 17. He didn't even check ID.

No, shit knives are outlawed

> He didn't even check ID.
wait, i thought you only have to be 18 to buy knives in Br*tain. in Australia too?
i bought knives in Binland at the central market when i was 15 and looked 14, yurop yes

to specify, shit on my pic is some kind of chinese bootleg i bought in StPb because why not
Binnish knives are top tier quality btw ŪwŪ

>Cunt
>Yes
>May get you in trouble carrying that but they would only take it from you
>In your house sure thing

>in Australia too?
Yeah. When you try to buy knives, etc. at supermarkets at the self serve checkouts, it flags for the attendant to come and make sure some suspect looking kid isn't trying to buy a large kitchen knife or something.

We can own swords and crossbows without any license.

> swords
Finland is surely full of really nice guys.

Sure.

(OP)
just to specify
flag
you can't, but you actually can. that's how Russia works.

As a side note, when I was a teenager my brother bought a set of imitation katana swords off Ebay and it arrived without issues from customs. They were sharp, not blunt practice blades. The same customs officers which can legally destroy imported lolicon manga and involve the person trying to import them being charged and arrested.
Furthermore, a few years ago I was able to import a box of a few thousand at the time legally borderline capsules from a dodgy Indian online pharmacy. It came straight through customs without a sign of the package being checked at all and arrived early. Weird system. Fucked priorities.

We got a lot in common. Kek

russia might have the most stupid laws but at least you don't have to follow them.
i can't imagine being an American and actually HAVING to comply to all the idiotic laws they have.

I have a military knife from my grandad who was a commando, it's the old version of the Yarara Comando.

From 1975, it's quite fun imagine how he killed commies with this in Tucuman during 'Operativo Independencia'.

> lolicon is equated to child porn
Russia and Australia: one language, one level of surrealism, one fucking guy in charge who invalidates actual pedophilia by saying it's the same as looking at drawn pics
(i myself hate loli/shotacon but people have a fucking right to draw it and read/watch it)

This is the current version of that knife

It's a state thing tho. Who cares about cali cucks and such.

i love things that have some history behind them.
your grandad was anti-communist? great.

Open carry no, but you can buy any blade you want or ask blacksmith to make one. Its not unusual for triads or indian gangs to charge each other with katanas.
Pirates also occasionally attack with katanas or local swords, recently a 60year old filipino pirate shot dead was dual wielding katana and .38 revolver.

Yes, he was deployed in the jungle of Tucuman in what we know as the "argentine vietnam" against the comunist guerilla.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operativo_Independencia

Then we was deployed in the Falklands, where he entered in combat in Mt. Longdon, he's a really badass man... Today he's still invited to pretty much every event that the army does, and still he manages to be a sweetheart, I really love him.

I was 6 when my parents bought me my first puukko, bought second one when I was 12 and we were on vacation in Lapland.

Dude, this mini knife only serve to spread butter in the bread.
Real Brazilians walk around with a "facão" (machete for people who don't understand our culture).

>being American
of course.

neat

Yes. But a lot of city centers, especially shopping and nightlife areas, have rules against carrying knives.

do you have cheap cocaina?
if yes, i'm coming to Brazil right now

You can buy and carry for legitimate use. "Just in case of self defence" is not considered a legitimate use.

Sure, but sadly you can't legaly buy a fire weapon

is being a collector a legit use?
i mostly buy knives for collection and i only have like 2-3 that i actually carry sometimes

> Chile
but i'm sure it's not too hard to obtain it illegally. South America seems like a perfect place for illegal guns

Sometimes Dutch cities declare that you can't carry weapons on a certain road for a few days. And then they stop and check all cars on that road. And then they confiscate everything that resembles a weapon.

It's a really shitty tactics because nobody knows anything about it up front because it's only announced in some shitty paper nobody reads.

I am pretty sure you can buy for collection. The "legitimate use" part is just for carrying.

Part of the male bunad (traditional clothes) is actually carrying a knife.

Not here, Chile is such a safe country in that aspect compared to Venezuela for example

Its weird here. You can carry around a messet, but as soon as a knife is a switchblade its prohibited and you'll get vanned if they find it.

Messer*

SHALL

Yeah, pretty sure

> for a few days
are those days special, like before some event, or just randomly chosen? if second it's kinda fucked

I must consult my local blacksmith immediatly.

>legally buy
Yes
>carry
Grey area. Most places limit you in public to a 3.5" blade but you could get away with it pretty much anywhere for hunting and fishing
>or possess this?
Yes.

Random. Often in the evening on friday and saturday nights, when people go out.

> up to 9cm (3.5")
same here, except it's only legal to both buy and carry knives w blades under 9cm (actually you can do it)

>We can own swords
But can you open carry them as well as spears?

nypost.com/2017/08/31/texans-can-now-openly-carry-swords-machetes-and-spears/

Here the knife needs to be shorter than 28cm when it's closed.

3 rules:
1. If it's concealed you need to inform police if they stop you
2. If you're under 21 the only knife you can concealed carry is a pocket knife
3. Can't bring to a school, polling place, nuclear plant, or hydroelectric plant

No restrictions regarding length or type.

The blade can only be 9 cm if you can't close the knife.

>same here, except it's only legal to both buy and carry knives w blades under 9cm (actually you can do it)
You can buy whatever because the idea is that you won't be regularly carrying it. You'll take it home and only use it as a tool. If cops search you and you aren't going home or hunting and you have it on you, you can have it confiscated.

>No restrictions regarding length or type.
You mean federally, it varies by state and city.

Buy? Sure.
But carry... Iirc you have these "tools" stored so that you can't easily get to them. I.e. don't wear it on your belt, but put it in your backpack.
Same for guns. They even need to have the ammo stored seperate from the gun.

Everything I said only refers to my state, federally the only knife law is the ban on switchblades.

Buy yes but need a hunting permit to carry it.

by switchblades do you mean a clasp knife with a button lock (you press the button - the knife opens instantly)?

Yes

>your country
USA
>can you legally buy, carry or possess this?
Sure.

I own a couple of these. They actually clip onto your belt.

NOT

>your country
Australia
>can you legally buy, carry or possess this?
yes, but I wouldn't carry it out in the open in an urban area

They always look so damn cheap and crappy that I always think they are some cheap chinese fake, especially compared to good ones...

>They always look so damn cheap and crappy that I always think they are some cheap chinese fake
Mine is a legit Zastava M70 bayonet though

>good ones
lol

You can literally carry any type of weaponry here as long as it isn't a firearm.

There are countries were you are not allowed to own knives? There are regulations about carrying in public of course, but are you out foraging or hunting, or if you have a job were a knife is required, then you are allowed to carry knives.

Some 14 year olds were caught with a whole bunch of knives in Norway recently.

Looks like a faggy CSGO skin. It wouldn't surprise me if that was the only reason he bought and carried that knife.

That reminds me when I was a wee lad, maybe around ten years old. I think we either were supposed to go out inna woods for some school activity... or something. We were told to bring suitable stuff, and I (and several others) brought knives to school. I don't know if the 90s were more chill, or because we were country bumpkins.

>can you legally buy
Yes.
>carry
Legal grey area in my state. My state requires a permit for "concealed weapons" but aside from firearms what exactly qualifies as a conceal weapon is at the discretion of the individual police officer. I could carry it openly, on a rifle no less, more legally than I could put it inside my jacket or something.
>or possess this?
Yes. I've got about a dozen bayonets now for my various military rifles.

Чтo нeт? Teбe нa хoлoднoe opyжиe лицeнзия нyжнa и вce. И чтo знaчит "that's how Russia works"? Bпoлнe мoжнo ocтaтьcя бeз нoжa, ecли нe oкaжeтcя дoкyмeнтoв нa нeгo пpи пoлиции.

Yes to all three, though carrying might still get you in trouble just because people will probably get scared and call the cops even though it's perfectly legal. I've seen ranchers walking around with full-sized Bowie knives in town though.

>>can you legally buy, carry or possess this?
>buy
Yes
>possess
Yes
>carry
Unfortunately, only if you have a valid reason.

Pic related, raifu+pokey.

Reminder to Euros and shitty states:

>Mind your own fucking business
Is a valid response to anyone questioning you carrying a knife

>>Mind your own fucking business
>Is a valid response to anyone questioning you carrying a knife
It really isn't, unless you want to be shot by coppers.

Us Euros do not have rights, only privileges.

Hey, it's still a legitimate response. People can shoot you for a legitimate response.

>getting shot by cops
>in Finland
what in the fuck are you talking about

If you have a knife and tell the cops to go fuck themselves, they're going to tase you or dog you, and if those don't work or aren't available, they're going to shoot you.

So you admit they aren't going to shoot you? Anyway, that premise would never happen either since it would require you to run around with the knife in hand. If you have it in your backpack and the police for some reason search you and find it and you tell them to mind their own business they'll simply take the knife and possibly fine you/lock you up for the night.

>So you admit they aren't going to shoot you?
Can't you read?
>Anyway, that premise would never happen either since it would require you to run around with the knife in hand
Don't change the premise. If they know you have a knife, for whatever reason, they're going to stop you if you refuse to comply.

There was no premise. And yes obviously they will stop you, but they won't shoot you. I don't know why you're spreading these lies, just to so the murrican would like you?

>>There was no premise
Sure there was. Cops know you have a knife, stop you, you tell them to mind their own business.
>And yes obviously they will stop you, but they won't shoot you.
Oh yes they will, if they can't dog you and tasers aren't available/don't work.

No they won't, because they'll simply take the knife from you. If you start threatening them with the knife they might shoot you, but simply saying "mind your fucking business" while they take the knife will not get you tasered or shot.

Who cares if it's legal, it's not like the police will come rummaging through your possession at random

>>No they won't, because they'll simply take the knife from you.
They're not going to wrestle with you if they know you have a knife. You don't know anything about finnish police doctrine.

Looks decent.

lmao you don't know shit either little boy

Same here. Norwegian law basically bans knives that are purely made for combat and does not appear to be useful for hunting and outdoor activities. You can however own them if you can show that you have a suitable purpose for them. Yes, the law is pretty vague about it.

Other knives used for outdoor activities are obviously legal and can be carried outdoors, they are however illegal in some public places. Basically just don't try to enter a night club with a knife or something similar to that.

I've worked, talked, shot and practiced with finnish coppers for a decade. What about you?

How does it feel not possessing any hint of readinh comprehension?

yes

Less autismatic sperging, more knoives from around the world please.
Have had pic related for a few years now, it's a pretty sweet combination of switchblade handiness and traditional puukko comfyness. Had to grind down the steel on the handle a bit to make it not stick out from under the rubber because that just felt uncomfortable, and switched the rubber washers to steel ones so it opens easier just flicking it. Couldn't ask for a better do it all knife 2bh

I was on vacation in France about a month ago so I picked up an Opinel no 8 inox, it's a unique and traditional design and now I actually have it in my jacket at all times (edc carry). The blade is very thin, not something intended for self defense obviously. Just practical cutting tasks.

I actually have one of those too, as a knife to carry when I don't expect to have any use for a knife. been thinking about switching to a little douk-douk tho, even more compact.
What is it with the French and nice pocket knives

poland
yes, according to the 1999 regulation about weapons the only knives that are illegal are those that "hide" inside an object that doesn't look like a knive. So a fancy james bond style shoe with hidden blade in the heel is illegal but pic related is okay

You can own old people in Poland?

I was talking about that spring knife that flips automatically at the press of a button.

Mexico
No, all double edged blades are illegal, particularly with a military stle pummel and guard.

There's a lot of grey area concerning military style knives because of the wording of the law, for practical purposes it's best to avoid them, but anything that's technically a dirk or dagger is out.

Legally? No. But if cop will see my knife he just will ask me "why do I carry this? For what?" and he will go away. Nobody policeman will try to take my knife. If see on laws - I can't carry this without license. If see on real situation - nobody care about this cuz I didn't use this to people.

I know you can buy and possess them. Dont think you can carry them though

buy and posses but carrying is two fingers long max

Pretty sure the laws are aimed at preventing stupid teenagers buying fad knives from movies and trying to act like their badasses.

>lol
Well, it looks like a fucking cheap, blunt piece of aluminium...
I know it is to stab, not cut, still it just looks like shit. Seriously, compare it to this
