I can`t find a law that deals directly with swords, but I can tell you this: if you wear them in public long enough, you will certainly be confronted by the police and they will interrogate you until you wish not to wear them. Almost everyone you see will call the police if you take them to a public building like a shopping mall, school, or government building, so I`d stay away from those. In my opinion, I would simply claim that carrying a sword is NOT legal to keep me away from the difficulties that will come, whether legal or not. Cheers,J.
