    Thanks mawzer308, yeah it looks like both bayonets and balisongs fall under the same category under the law so hopefully it is granted, and it does look like it is the same form they gave me to fill out at the station. This is the exact one I am hoping to import, a customized Carbon Fibre BRS replicant. It's about $400 so I would hate to have it confiscated and destroyed lol. Name:  image.jpg

    And just wanted to post this really quick, a while back I sent an email to customs just asking what their stance on balisongs was (whether they were completely prohibited or just restricted) and this is what they replied:
    "Hello Martin.



    As long as the butterfly knife has a blade (sharp or dull), you will require a consent to import. These are issued by the New Zealand Police."

    Now I just hope they don't take 6 months to approve or reject my request lol.

    Hey guys, been a few months, but they actually ended up granting my permit. Here's my new custom Bladerunners Systems Carbon Fiber Replicant!

    Hi @cphelilife (you really picked a hard spelling login!)

    It's obvious you're not criminally minded but a bona fide collector - what with spending that amount of money on a smart letter opener (-: Good to hear your local AO is as sensible as me. Hope you have a good life in New Zealand. What's happening with your firearms license?

    Hi Cordite, haha yeah, has to do with my other hobby of RC collective pitch helicopters. I have not yet applied, as I have started my uni studies recently and really don't have much cash left (only had just enough for this knife, and this Rep is something I've always wanted), but it is definitely something I'd like to do in the future. For now, I have a .22 airgun that I just use for plinking in the yard, so until then it'll have to do

    Those letters are never good, meanwhile I’m still wondering why a knife like this is considered more dangerous than say, your average $10 kitchen knife haha. ��
