Yep, Australian Border Force have sent me a Seizure Notice > CONFISCATED MY KWAIKEN, Labled it a "BUTTERFLY KNIFE" !?
What the Fuck? >> Anyone with the slightest knowledge of blades would be able to distinguish the difference between a folding knife with a flipping action, (now legal in Australia under an amendment to the Federal legislation two years ago), and a butterfly knife where the blade folds into a recess between the two handles.
But not the geniuses at Border Security >> this same knife with same action is legal to buy on any number of Australian knife sites!
I will do all I can under the "claim for return of seized goods" process.
This amounts to ' legal' theft of a legal product under government sponsored ineptitude.
I wonder how many METH drug imports were going in bound through customs whilst these clowns were fucking around with my knife?
ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO FIGHT THIS PLEASE ADVISE.

WoosterThat stinks... maybe they were able to shake it open and that's why they classified it as a butteryfly knife.
