Legal & Age Policy

Swords are real objects with real responsibilities. Please read this policy before ordering. It is general information, not legal advice.

18+ only

We only sell steel swords to adults aged 18 or over. You must confirm your age on the product page before adding a sword to your cart. We may ask you to email a photo of a valid photo ID before we dispatch your order. You can cover any details we don't need, and we use the ID only to verify your order.

Victoria

Swords are prohibited weapons in Victoria and South Australia. To buy one, you need a valid exemption or approval, for example through a recognised collectors' or martial arts organisation. Please email your membership or approval document together with photo ID after ordering. We can't ship to an address in Victoria or South Australia without it, and the order will be refunded.

Laws where you live

Laws on buying, owning, storing, importing and carrying swords differ between countries, states, provinces and territories, and they can change. It is your responsibility to check and follow the laws where you live before ordering. In Australia, carrying a sword in a public place without a lawful excuse is an offence. Your local police or government website is the best place to start.

Wooden swords

Age verification isn't required for wooden display swords.

Use of products

Our swords are sold as collectibles and display pieces. Use them safely and only where it is legal to do so. To the extent permitted by law, LQForge is not responsible for injury, damage or legal consequences resulting from misuse.

LQ Forge

LQForge brings the blades of your favourite anime, games and films into the real world: handcrafted katana and swords with real steel blades for collectors and cosplayers.
