Keris and us customs?

THE ONLY LAW I KNOW OF REGARDING LENGTH IS THAT YOU CAN'T CARRY A KNIFE WITH A BLADE MORE THAN 4 INCHES LONG IN PUBLIC. EXCEPTIONS ARE HUNTING KNIVES THAT CAN BE CARRIED WHEN HUNTING OR IN THE COUNTRY. SWORDS ARE OFTEN CARRIED AT RENAISSANCE FAIRS AND SUCH THESE ARE TIED INTO THEIR SCABBARDS WITH A CORD AT FAIRS.
SOME STATES AND TOWNS HAVE LAWS AGAINST SWITCH BLADE AND BUTTERFLY KNIVES. AS FAR AS I KNOW CUSTOMS DOESN'T PROHIBIT SWORDS AND SUCH BEING SHIPPED IN AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T HAVE RESTRICTED ANIMAL MATTER SUCH AS IVORY , HORN ECT.
COLLECTING OR HAVING KERIS DAGGERS SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM UNDER CURRENT LAWS.
