Larryz Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 +2 BBQ, Nice work! @ Skip, Nice photo shoot! It's funny that they make stupid laws based upon the looks of a weapon here in California. The switchblade and the balisong are no more deadly than any other knife, but they scare people when they are flicked open! +1 an illegal knife (felony) will get you in more trouble than a concealed firearm (misdemeanor).

Scott Fraser Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 From a photo shoot late last month. The photographer works with Getty images, but I signed a release so I have no idea what will happen with it. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LxCcnRkhmTpgl-7rmFCrM_-g6hzqBfs_/view?usp=sharing Great shot, Skip. There's your album cover right there. +1! Scott Fraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, I have a balisong that I bought over the counter in Cebu. So far I still have it but, it`s a cat and mouse game. A few years ago a guy went crackers and stabbed people in Akihabara, the electronics district in Tokyo. One of the victims had been a student at a school where I taught English. So what does the government do-based on that, they banned double edged knives. Single edges-no problem. Oh darn, well there goes another weekend. I was really planning on cracking up and cutting a bunch of people with both edges. Ya right... Really fine brushwork BBQ!

Larryz Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 +1 It is totally senseless Skip...You could have a small dirk or dagger with less than a 4" blade (especially if it's double edged) and that would be a felony violation. If a knife is dull on one side you're good to go. So the knife makers make the dull side very thin, if you catch by drift. Nunchaku and/or Shuriken are felony violations too. There are some exceptions for licensed martial arts school travel. It's just stupid California laws that we have to put up with...

skipclone 1 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Ya, the guy at JFK asked if I taught martial arts when he found a shuriken-a real one-in my carryon bag. I said, I have taught before. Next time I`ll just say yes.

Larryz Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Good answer...or you could say: "yes, my dojo is in Japan and I do martial arts demonstrations at seminars here in the states each year." Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larryz Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 You would probably leave a blood trail if you tried to hide a shuriken up the tuchas, and they would catch you at the gate LOL! Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picker Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Or, you could say you brought it as a gift for him, because you know what a difficult job he/she/it has.

whitefang Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 But on the more serious side, wouldn't you be able to ship it on ahead? Like FED EX or UPS?

skipclone 1 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 In America those services are limited in what they handle, especially when it comes to alcohol. In any case, the guys at JFK and subsequent checkpoints kept their cool and let me through. I`m not sure if that would happen now. Sending some things ahead could be helpful-if the inspectors can keep their cool too.
