there is 1 type of knife i would like to collect and use. it is the taiwan jing men (gold door) gang dai (metal knife). it is jing men speciality only. it is kitchen knife made from empty bomb shell. very some knife have very slick design. the knife is famous of its hardness and sharpness. If i do get to visit taiwan 1 day, i will sure buy 1 for memory. i saw 1 at china xiamen shopping centre, but i don't know if it is the type i am taking about. anyway, i saw this knife during a show tat introduce taiwan (for touring show).
i used to be crazy over knife too - during (rambo 1 movie era). read alot about it. the fever has subside now. but i like to remind myself of those good old days.

sounds cool... bro.. the knife will attract ghosts as it is made from bomb shell ??
it is pretty well know, becos bomb shell are using good metal (in the old days). there is alot of bomb shell in "taiwan jing men" becos many years ago, china xiamen and taiwan jingmen always bomb each other. those NS serving jingmen actually will get KIA and are usually on red alert (last time).
So, the resident have many bomb shell loaded on to their area. they collect it, and made it into kichen knife.
any brother visiting taiwan jinmen, can actually help us buy 1 there. U must visit the actual place - there is a musum about it (watch from the tv show).
it is pretty legal to bring in to sg with kitchen knife set. Just remember don't use hand carry, but be in the laugage that check into the plane.
china xiamen shopping centre have for sales also, but i feel that it must be purchase from the origin location then can be memory.
for eg, budda ambulet can also buy anyway, but i will prefer to buy from a temple with monk blessing. same theory.
i wonder. if kitchen knife set need to be declare on the custom or not? anyone work in the custom? can help answer? i hope one day i can visit taiwan and purchase my dream kitchen knife set. maybe in 5 yr time.
well.. if u have reason to bring, i.e kitchen knife, customs wont make prob, ofcuz have to put into luggage, even small Swiss Knife they wont let u bring hand carry, last time, they didnt allow my wallet chain (chain attached to wallet and belt) to bring in.
if u manage to find picture or some story about such powerful stuff, share us here bro. coz i cant find any related "jing men" on google.

search the web using "金門鋼刀的故事".
i remember u can ask for the type of design to be made. and get the master to write your name on the knife, etc. it is like custom maker lor. but i don't know how much. i saw once also in jack wu show. he just draw a shape and the maker make a knife of that shape. also go write word on the knife congrad his jacky wu show good forture or etc.
this is one chinese culture knife. usually when u see knife, it is either jap or west country. normally people don't show interests in chinese knife culture. but they are forgetting that knife making begin with chinese.
I got my set of Kyocera ceramic kitchen knives from Japan, it's 50% cheaper than what we have to pay in Singapore...

yap. i don't think kitchen knife should have any problem with custom. but just to be sure, do u got the the red zone to declare?

cool.. i know Kyocera for only cameras..
sharper than my zwilling henckel set but I heard ceramic knife is brittle, I only use it to cut fruit and slice meat and it feels light in the hand, don't really like it....Originally Posted by kmax
emm. may be ceramic can go thru metal detectors, hahaha, can bring into flight? or can go thru custom?
I have forgotten how I brought the knives in already.. hehe
thanks for info. i can only see pics, cant read language as my pc doesnt have language installed, and i cant speak nor read chinese.. heheh
well, this is kind of chinese history lesson. this knife is very famous for it hardness and sharpness. it slic thru paper in one soft stroke.
the history is basically china bomb taiwan and taiwan bomb china.
jing men (china) and xia men (taiwan) is just a sea apart. similar to singapore and johor. so these two provision always exchange bomb shell (shooting each other every day). i mean this is old time story that happen long long ago.
anyway, the most empty shell area is "jing men". then a black smith took a shell, cut it out and hammer it into a knife for the fellow countrymen. becos of it hardness and sharp, the knife got famous and people start buying it.
so, the knife becos a symbol of the local and becos a collector item too. as u can see in the picture.
a good knife actually is very long lasting. my grandfather was a fruit seller that have a knife that past down to my father. he refuse to let us use one. it is very very sharp.
compare to nowadays machine make knife.
i really hope one day i can tour taiwan - jing men and buy myself a nice set of "jing men gang dao" kitchen knife set.
p/s: you want me to guide u the step to show chinese in your pc (if itis using xp). but then again, since u don't read chinese, u decide if u want. ok?

mi5trooper... is it something like this ?
http://sg.auctions.yahoo.com/sg/i:Ky...40WH:229345812
ya. something like that. i saw at a super market
Anyone been to Plaza Singapura top floor? Can't believe they have sword and knife shops there. Pity they dun have a Highlander samurai sword (Either Duncan or Connor McLeod's sword is fine)
Yea just checked it out a few days back. Caesars eh? Yea if i'm not wrong they have another shop at suntec city.
ceasers, the beach road shop has moved to raffles mrt mall..
and shearas has moved near little india area..
so is it legal to carry a folder on your pocket, clipped or hidden?
i've been carrying everyday clipped on my front pocket... and now im worried lol
You only need to be registered with a sword school to carry a sharp katana.
If you're buying katanas from Liang Seng, etc, those are only meant for display and will break if u attempt to do test cutting.
No a good thing if you're thinking of using one to defend yourself too.
Owner's licensing in SGP is actually just paperwork. It's importing the weapons that get's costly.
I'm licensed to bring in katanas and Benchmades, hence, am familiar with the procedures.

An everyday carry blade should have a blade length of less than 4inches. Usually, a 3.25" blade has enough stopping power when deployed, and yet, not lethal.
I train and teach knife techniques in specialised courses designed for military, law enforcement, and martial arts classes and we work with everyday carry blades.
So yes, it is legal until deployed. After which, it is a situation of explaining the term 'necessary force'.
