International Knife Laws Site?

[saturnine138]

Anyone know where I can find a reliable site with knife laws by country? I'm traveling to Dominica shortly, and I want to make sure I wont end up in jail. I'm thinking I should be alright with a five inch fixed blade, it's a tropical country and I'm sure machetes are fairly common. Anyone know for sure, or know where I can find out?

You could try googling the country's government web site and look for a link to their laws. Alternatively, stick with a knife that is no longer than 5 inches, and one that you can afford to lose if they confiscate it. If they take it at the airport, you might buy one at the market as a 'souvenier of your trip'. I once brough home a big machette from Jamaica. I aproached the gardener and handed him a $10 he was delighted to give the machette to me. That was some time ago, so maybe a $20 would be more apropriate today.
