Swiss Law & Blade Sales Compliance

Our Commitment to Swiss Law

Royal Arms CH operates in full compliance with the laws of the Swiss Confederation.

The sale, ownership, and carrying of weapons and bladed tools in Switzerland is governed by the Federal Act on Weapons, Weapon Accessories and Ammunition (LArm / Waffengesetz) and its associated ordinances.

We carefully select our product range to ensure that the items offered in our showroom and online store comply with Swiss law.

Products We Sell

The majority of items offered by Royal Arms CH are classified under Swiss law as:

  • Tools
  • Collectible items
  • Historical replicas
  • Decorative or artisan blades

These items typically include:

  • Kitchen knives
  • Artisan chef knives
  • Historical swords
  • Collectible axes
  • Re-enactment blades

In most cases, such items are not classified as regulated weapons under Swiss law, and therefore may be sold by retailers without a weapons dealer licence.

Items Restricted Under Swiss Law

Certain blades and weapons are regulated or prohibited under the Swiss Weapons Act. Examples include:

  • Automatic knives with spring mechanisms
  • Butterfly knives (balisongs)
  • Throwing knives
  • Daggers with symmetrical blades
  • Weapons disguised as everyday objects

These items are restricted because they are classified as weapons under Swiss law. Royal Arms CH does not sell prohibited weapons.

Age Requirement

Royal Arms CH only sells bladed items to customers aged 18 years or older.

By purchasing from our store or website, the customer confirms that they meet this legal age requirement.

Responsible Ownership

Bladed tools and historical weapons should always be used responsibly.

Customers are expected to:

  • Comply with all applicable local laws
  • Handle blades safely
  • Store blades securely
  • Use blades only for lawful purposes

Carrying weapons in public places may require a permit depending on the type of weapon and circumstances.

Import and Export Regulations

Certain weapons and blade types may be restricted in other countries.

Customers are responsible for ensuring that any item purchased from Royal Arms CH can be legally imported into their country of residence.

If you are unsure about the legality of an item in your jurisdiction, please contact your local authorities before placing an order.

Compliance With Authorities

Royal Arms CH maintains open cooperation with relevant Swiss authorities where necessary, including:

  • Cantonal police authorities
  • Customs and border agencies
  • Regulatory bodies responsible for weapons law

If the legal classification of any product is unclear, the final interpretation is determined by the competent authorities.
