Does anyone know if there are legalities to shipping knives to other states, especially ones with strict laws like NY and CA. Any input would be greatly appreciated as I don't want the gestapo to ambush my house or something.

Also is it ok to use UPS and not the postal service or something?

No way would I use UPS! They require you to bring every package in unclosed and unsealed so they can inspect the items before accepting them. I always go with the post office and have never lost a package. Just be sure not to put knives anywhere on the package or lable, and insure it. As far as the laws, if you're not sure, don't ship it. I read a knife law from california and it said that if you just send a catalog into the state, with a dagger offered for sale in it, it's a felony. That was in Blade magazine back when they were running the switchblade laws, state by state. Take care! Michael

Always think of your fellow knife makers as partners in the search for the perfect blade, not as people trying to compete with you and your work!http://www.nebsnow.com/L6steel
