Unless things have changed recently, I can ship knives and swords from my PO. But then, it's a satellite office and can't do international shipping. The lady there is a knife lover. She sometimes even wraps them for me. I think some government types are getting a little paranoid about weapons lately. Just blame it on us old tea party folks hoarding ammo, drinking Ensure, and hiding out in our mountain or swampy hidaways. Good old UPS can handle it.
