Legislation

Since September 6, 2013, new legal provisions stemming from the March 6, 2012 law have come into force. These new rules have strengthened criminal penalties against weapons offenders and introduced a new classification.
Katanas, swords, daggers and knives are now classified in category D. The purchase and possession of these weapons are unrestricted. In principle, they may not be carried or transported without legitimate reason. If transported, the weapon must not be "directly" usable. It must be securely packed in a case or container, preferably with a padlock or other protective system.

Thanks to Terressens
Thanks to Terressens,
As soon as the order was placed, I was contacted to find out about my plans for the engravings. I found the site to be very professional in its advice, follow-up and dispatch of the order.
Once I'd received the katana, I was very pleased with its quality and the engravings, which give a very nice personal touch.
I highly recommend this site.
