Thanks for your help. To possibly save you some time, the short hand rehab spinner stick and tiny key ring "handle" stick, as well as 5" Palm cap stick have useful and legitimate other uses as I point out in the descriptions, so they should be OK to ship most places. However, the 6-1/8" x .50" Diameter Titanium Yawara Stick would surely be restricted in certain Countries. * To save you some time,...the Countries that I know about specifically restricting most any Self Defense Sticks are Great Britain, New Zealand, and Australia. With all the issues today with the mass intake of refugees, I guess those in charge still want their citizens to be totally defenseless! It's sad most of the Police in Great Britain are still unarmed! In the recent 2 attacks on and near London Bridge, it took EIGHT minutes to get some armed Police into position to stop the carnage. * One hero British cop fought off the THREE knife wielding attackers with just a baton, before getting knifed in the face and elsewhere. Last I heard he was going to survive, but EVERY cop should be armed and trained to use it. (most British Police don't even have firearms training) * Regarding my 6-1/8" x .50" Titanium (Kubotan sized) Yawara Stick, I've heard that Yawara Sticks made of wood or polymer ARE legal in California generally, BUT if made of METAL they are not. They consider "metal" ones as a "Fist Load" and treat them like metal "Knuckles". * This makes NO rational sense because MY Titatanium sticks are much lighter that many of the larger Yawara Sticks out there, especially the monstrous sized Cold Steel SD1 Koga Polymer Yawara Stick, which WEIGHS about 3X some of my Titanium ones, and double my heaviest ones! http://www.coldsteel.com/koga-sd1.html * It seems to me the criteria for considering what might constitute a "Fist Load" should be based on WEIGHT, and not the material it's made from! But when those in legislating power don't use common sense..... ridiculous laws like this come to be. * I'm not sure about Kubotan's in California, since they most always are made in Aluminum or Titanium sometimes. My Yawara Sticks ARE the size of most Kubotans, but with a much better grip and without a hole drilled in for a key ring attachment. * I haven't come across anywhere else in the USA with that same issue about metal Yawara Sticks....
