Hello!

I received a knife today and I received this notice along with it that I had never received before:

It's just a manual folder with a 3'' blade 🤨. Is it because the blade is Magnacut? Sent by mistake?

Not that I'm planning to "export it" anywhere but I'm just curious why it would be subject to any restriction...

Thank you for any insight.
 
Did this notice come in the knife box? Or attached to the outside of the parcel? Did you import this knife?
 
Can you give a tiny hint? What brand of knife and where was it bought? Some places will have a blanket rules for stuff that could fall under ITAR or other restrictions so if anything goes somewhere it shouldn't they've done their CYA.

That’s interesting. Maybe it does have something to do with Magnacut steel?

It came inside the box, I bought it from a US seller OpticsPlanet.

Zieba Six from OpticsPlanet. I guess they do sell gun related stuff but I have bought knives from them before and never got a notice like this.

If you'd asked me to guess I would have said Optics Planet. They've been doing that for years. I haven't ordered from them in maybe 20 years but they were really into export restrictions since forever.

No it's just all the restricted stuff they used to have online (and maybe they still do). They'd cite ITAR restrictions with a Bianchi gun belt.

I would guess they throw that paper in every box that goes out the door regardless of the contents.

Ya, his last post cleared that up for me.

I did enjoy going down the ITAR rabbit hole tonight though…thanks for that. :)

Just the usual self-serving CYA drivel. Has zero legal standing for the purchaser. If "Joe Schmo" buys a knife from Optics Planet and illegally ships it to his cousin in Canada, that's on Joe and his cousin for violating Canadian import laws. Same as the Code of Conduct at every Simon's-owned shopping mall in the United States which clearly states "no weapons". It is their policy and has no weight of law.
