weapons with a concealed or disguised blade or sharp point - eg swordsticks, stealth knives, butterfly knives and belt buckle blades
martial arts weapons such as death stars, hollow kubotans and kusaris
batons and telescopic truncheons
blowpipes or blowguns, except for use by vets or registered animal handlers
curved blade swords with a blade over 50 centimeters.
