I wan to buy a machete in costa rica, but I dont know how I can get it home. Is it legal to take big-ass knives home on a plane in a checked bag? Should I mail it, instead?

As long as it is in checked luggage it should be OK. After all, you can take guns in checked bags. Check with the airline to be sure.

Answer #4
You have to declare it as a weapon when you check your bags.. Paperwork and ID’s etc.

the metal detectors would pick it up in the airport. I would mail it, but I don’t know if that is legal either
