There is no restriction of blade length as such, but be careful how you send it over. Royal Mail have apparently decided to stop transporting "weapons" which is how they will try to classify a bowie type knife ...I would therefore recommend your friend sends it via one of the other parcel services..

Also be careful on the customs declaration. If your friend marks it as a "camping tool" being sent as a gift with a value of less than say $35 he should avoid his son having to pay import duties ect..
