I guess it all depends on the definition of the Kris in each of the two countries

these are the rules used by Parcel Force to ship to the US

“..Weapons Weapons (including Section 5 firearms, CS gas and pepper sprays, flick knives, and other knives that are banned knives under UK laws, tasers and stun guns)....”

Is a Kris a “ weapon” banned in the UK and US?

This would be essential. I recently sent, via the post to the UK a blade to someone it was traveling with a shield and described in the custom declaration as kris. It went without any problems.

I regularly see blades being offered on line from the US available also in Europe , so it has to be possible.
