Huggy_BearHuggy_Bear, unfortunately Australia has a history of seizing knives when we used to ship there. Due to the number of seizures we no longer ship knives to Australia.

LukasMAww man, the reason I wanted this one is because it's on the customs list as "not restricted"
Guess I'll just have to buy it locally :(
Edit: Here's the list for reference: http://www.customs.gov.au/webdata/resources/files/2013-030318_Documents_Released.pdf (the actual list of knives starts at page 66)

Huggy_BearThe problem is the customs people use this test
Quite a few folding knives fail this test (unfair though it is).
The Spyderco fails this test

MassUserSo to pass this test they could just over-tighten the main pivot bolt before shipping so you have to pry the blade out? Seems like that would make it "legal" then the buyer could loosen it again upon receiving it.

frogamicThey could, but you are better trying a different supplier as massdrop rarely does "custom" orders so they are unlikely to do it. Also tightening the pivot isn't a guarantee (especially if they have a listed of banned knives so they don't even bother testing anymore) that it wouldn't be stopped so massdrop will still not ship you knives (other stores will though).
