KNIVES AUSTRALIA DIGEST:
| WHAT'S INSIDE? If you want to know what is happening
in Australia in regard to knife laws - read it here. We present the
latest information on Customs and their dedication to removing folding
lock-back knives from our grasp. What is the 'flick test' and how does
it apply? Read the 'secret' Customs Policy and Definition of Flick Knives
document (2009) released under FOI . Who is leading the national knife
harmonisation laws and what effect is it already having on State legislators?
What is the Knife Crime Policy? Read our letter to the Shadow Minister
for Customs - we didn't pull any punches! And what did happen when the
media attacked the AKC Club in Victoria?
We introduce some novice knifemakers just starting out on their journey,
and sadly good-bye to 4 of our established makers. See some absolutely
fantastic custom knife creations that will make you seriously drool. Wipe
the page and your mouth ... and keep reading .... because next come some
great specials to help celebrate our 20th year.
Specialist Alan Maisey answers a range of questions for those just starting
to notice and wonder about Keris, Ray Murray shares his Kukri collection,
and Mick Rhys takes you on a cutthroat razor journey. Spend time in NZ
with Paddy while he makes his first knife, and with Bryan while he skins
feral possums. Back in Oz, Jude introduces belly dancing with a sword (yep
folks, you read that right), Paul Clarke knaps a bunch of knives from flint,
while Alf shares his passion for making a knife that's just right for his
own use. And there's more - new books, new knives, new knifemaking supplies.
Something for you all. Over 64 pages of information, facts and stories. |
