But I Doubt that Katana Swords will be there in SupremeCo. I have seen couple of shops like this which sells military stuffs. But not sure whether Japanese swords would be there! | |

| | | You're correct, SupremeCo does not have katanas. I just got back from SupremeCo. Lots of lovely knives, but no katanas. They might actually be illegal. I know SCW has a few swords on display, but they might not be real ones. | |

| | Carrying a sword properly covered is not illegal here.
Haven't you seen the hordes of tai chi ninja wannabes in the gardens around town every morning?
My question is if anyone knows where to get a custom made scabbard | |

| | The swords people use in public are practice swords (with unsharpened blades). Google "custom made scabbard" and you'll find tons of hits.  I have a machete, but no swords unfortunately. We did have a pair of rather large broadswords, but my dad neglected to oil them and they rusted through. | |

I contacted a guy from a Chinese company. He was saying that they can ship me the Katana and I won’t have a problem with the customs because they will ship it as a decorative Item. Anyway the guy even said that they have shipped to HK before. Swords do look lovely. It’s at
"http://www.heat707.com/product/class.asp?class=24"
They are not authentic of cause. But they look beautiful and made out of good steel (As they claim) just thinking whether to get one and see! Once a guy told me that when a woman had carried a Spear to practice, on her way back the police have caught her! It seems so strange because there are no articles even in Police or customs site which says that we can't import, purchase or at lease keep any sharp weapons at home. Everything I hear is from people in shops and people who I meet. Sometimes I think that it only happens when you try to show off who you are with a sword or any sharp objects in public or by carrying a weapon in public without being cautious! | |

| | | You can keep large blades at home, but you can't walk around with them or train with them in public. You can also carry large knives/machetes when hiking, but you can't just strap one onto your waist and go to the supermarket. HK's laws are a lot like the UK's when it comes to weapons. AFAIK swords should be legal to own at home, although HK's Weapons Ordinance does state there are special rules for "martial arts weapons." | |

Thank you Jayinhongkong. You are an expert! at least now I know that I can keep one at home. I saw there is a class for Samurai (I don't know what you call the style) at kowloon. just wanted to go and take a look! it would be really interesting to learn an art like such! | |
