Knife Sales & Legal Information

At Kai Shun, we are proud to offer premium Japanese kitchen knives crafted for precision, performance and professional culinary use. Our knives are designed exclusively for food preparation and culinary applications.

Because knives are controlled items under Australian law, their sale and possession are regulated at state and territory level. As an online retailer shipping across Australia, we are committed to responsible retailing and full legal compliance.

Please review the information below before placing your order.

Age Restrictions

Under Australian law, it is illegal to sell a knife to a person under 18 years of age in most states and territories.

For example:

  • In New South Wales, the Summary Offences Act 1988 prohibits the sale of knives to minors.
  • In Victoria, similar restrictions apply under the Control of Weapons Act 1990.

By placing an order on this website, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older. We reserve the right to request proof of age prior to dispatch.

Shipping & Compliance

Kai Shun ships within Australia only.

All knives are securely packaged and dispatched in accordance with Australian postal and courier regulations. We reserve the right to:

  • Cancel orders that may contravene state or territory laws
  • Request age verification prior to shipment
  • Refuse delivery to locations where restrictions apply
