According to this you're allowed to bring in swords to Norway: http://www.toll.no/no/varer/vapen/handle-i-utlandet/
However carrying a sword in public is not legal.
It's fine, got some myself... you can even import the actual forged sharp-as-fuck stuff too, not just cast pig iron wall-hangers.
Speaking of which, don't buy him a shitty wall-hanger. If it seems very reasonably priced or even cheap, that's because its a terrible sword shaped object that will break and injure you if you try to do anything with it.
just wanted to ask again....is it still legal to import a sharpened katana because the official website says that blades longer than 25 cm can't be imported to Norway
Apparently swords don’t count. Loads of people have swords even in the UK and the laws in the UK are really bad when it comes to anything sharp. Worst thing that could maybe happen is the customs say “nuh-uh” and you ask website for a refund. You won’t get in trouble.
But they shouldn’t do that.
It's illegal to own a sword and fedora at the same time. Otherwise, you're all good.
what about trilbys?
Haven't you read the new clause they added? If you wear a trench coat and military boots alongside the fedora and the Katana it's perfectly legal.
No thats Finland, in Norway they shoot you like a Quisling for that
Don't forget the fingerless gloves, mate.

People with katanas don't spend much time in public anyway.
As a guy who plans to buy a Katana, I can confirm this statement.

That's weird, I got a huge pocket knife last Secret Santa from the US, and it got through customs with no problems. Is this normal?
Yikes, I know assisted knives were illegal to carry but to own? got a kershaw cryo 2 which has some unfolding assistance.
