Should make it to the UK fine. These are sold in Australia and our laws are even harsher.

craingerThey are sold in Australia.
They are a restricted import item in Australia, Unless you have legitimate usage or you are a Dealer.
Not worth importing

TehCookiemonstaSo if I tried to buy these knives from overseas to ship in to Australia customs would confiscate them (was thinking of asking massdrop to add Australia to the list seeing they are sold here)? Even though they are sold here (if customs stopped them couldn't I just argue they are available here)? That is stupid. Now I'm worried about the leatherman wave i bought.
Also, where can I buy one inside of Australia?

LachlanThese Knives Will definitely be seized in Australia, I have contacted customs before while they say some models are not a restricted import they will still be tested to confirm the test being flicking the knife, Opening with one hand, etc.. and when they do be tested to see if they can be opened with one hand they will be seized, CuttingEdgeKnives Sells these knives for $90. + shipping
Note: Arguing the point of these knives being sold in Australia is not valid, the reply you will get from Customs is the Dealer has already received a permit to import the Item under the Dealer Usage, Legitimate usage of the Items falls down to Law enforcement and Australian Defense.
Note #2: I would say your Leatherman wave is completely legal :), nothing to be worried about.
