No idea. Never sent a balisong to a military base before.

@moykky:

Have any of you "knifenuts" heard (or NOT heard) of these Ray Laconico knives and folders. Last night I was surfing the web like the USS Enterprise and found out about him. I must say that aesthetically those really catch my eye.

I guess he don't mind me linking these pictures from bladeforums since he's in the business of making and selling them:

Never heard of him, but that doesn't mean he isn't any good

I meant the special mailboxes army personnel uses - even internationally… It's exempt from normal custom regulations and import restrictions, I thougt...

All mail gets scanned these days, more now than ever.

I mean APO/ FPO mailboxes…

Although there are specific restrictions for each five-digit Military and Diplomatic Post Office ZIP Code (APO/FPO/DPO), generally, the following are prohibited in the region of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom:

Obscene articles (prints, paintings, cards, films, videotapes, etc) and horror comics.
Any matter depicting nude or seminude persons, pornographic or sexual items, or nonauthorized political materials.
Bulk quantities of religious materials contrary to the Islamic faith. Items for the personal use of the addressee are permissible.
Pork or pork by-products.

I love that last rule…

Are you talking about an APO mailbox?…

[DougNg]

If you're shipping to an APO, should be fine

[DougNg]

Btw, I just did a google search on the topic, and getting it out of the country shouldn't be an issue, but getting it back into the states for service…you'll be SOL

[Blackheart]

That would make sense.

Yeah - edited my post a bit late but that's what I meant…

I'll get a cheaper one, Doug... But then I don't think you really need to service a butterfly knife... It's not as if I'm gonna carry it... Just a plaything for indoors...

[Giles]

I've got a play thing for indoors and she's not illegal….........

[Seul]

She's a fecking thief though!..

Sometimes the pins will wear out

[Blackheart]

Mine got very loose…

Discovered this nice item a few years ago - funnily, they are manufactured just around the corner and are rather cheap. I really love that maritime inlet.

[Guest]

i dig^^^^^^IT  of course

[Pomito]

Of course you do!

Strange enough that those knives have no real relation to anything seabound - the next shore is roughly 400 km away.  Anyway: Perfect tools for posers like me!

That's a cool knife brother , Casey at Self Edge has the same one

I went to the BLADE show this past weekend and picked up some real beauties! Fred Perrin, Bob Terzoula, production Emerson, Brad Zinker, also picked up some William Henry. Great show!!!!

[Seul]

Nice stuff from the looks of it!.. Any chance on separate pics and a short description of each knife?..
