    Bought plenty over the internet. When I purchased form UK I had to either make a declaration as to my age or send proof (edited photo of Driving Licence). No issues at all.

    Yep, as far as I can recall, I've got some from France, Spain and Germany.
    Lads I know have got them from US and others got various chefs knives from EU and Asia.

    Bought a few chefs knives from the states and while they were opened by customs they came through with no issues. Prob depends on the type of knife if you get hit with duties or not.
