The awesome MakerMoot is coming up (13-15th Nov 2026), Visit the TORM & ARM markets,and have space back at camp to work on projects and enjoy great company. PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
I am after one myself Dale, the Cold Steel Barong specifically. Seems no one stocks them in Blighty anymore and i am unsure exactly how well importing them would be received by GB customs despite being perfectly legal.

They being customs, they absolutely can, and that'll be that. There'll be no arguing it or reimbursement, I agree with CLEM, the barong will cause a stir and likely be confiscated. It's happened a lot in the past with far less intimidating knives, people were losing Spyderco's, even a UKPK (a knife that's name means UK Pen Knife, designed specifically to be within UK law). He did get that back though, it was too hard for HMRC to argue.
I think a Stuart Mitchell barong is the way to go @CLEM.

Yeh actually you are right. it was a foolish comment by me given that they just do whatever they want regardless. One law for them and another law for us. dd xxThey being customs, they absolutely can, and that'll be that.

Clem if you get stuck there is a cold steel supplier here in Republic of Ireland. I can get it you and pop over the border to post from royal mail. its a bit of a faf but doable x
See my last post Clem am and to add I just emailed a supplier in RO Ireland to see if they have one. DD x
