Import Regulations

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Import Regulations

Post by Jacket »

Heyheyhey!
So, in little more than a month I will embark upon my journey to Cambodia. From my first year there, I sort of know what I will end up missing the most and one of these things are knives. Quality knives. As a knife enthusiast , I've noticed that it's hard to get your hands on quality knives in Cambodia (without spending a fortune at Citadel Knives). I'm not even talking about survival knives or combat knives. A bloody kitchen knife would do. But nothing. It's all this imported shit from Thailand that's made out of really poor material. So I thought of bringing some pieces of my own collection when I come over. Quality kitchen knives and maybe a pocket knife and a bowie. Has anyone here tried that? I'm just concerned that the guys at the airport will make a fuss and confiscate my belongings and I wouldn't want that. I'll not have it that some airport security cunt snatches my 90$ knife and later on walks around town with it himself.
Advice is appreciated :D

I brought my Henckels, 2 Buck knives, and all my Calphalon w/me. I didn't bring the block, so I duct taped 'em all up to avoid injuries (it made 'em too ugly for the baggage guys to steal too). I don't know what the laws are, but they never seem to check bags at PNH.
