Officers detected the 50cm knife during an X-ray of air cargo from the US at Sydney airport last month.
Bound for Melbourne, the four-pronged attack knife was found with a small arsenal including a sword stick, trench knives, a double-edged dagger and other knives.
The four-bladed knife has a silver-studded cuff wrapping around the wrist while the hand grasps the handle.
The handle is connected to two small flick-knife sized blades and two 25cm larger knives, with a total length of 50cm.
It is believed the knives were bought over the internet.
Victorian Customs regional director Jenny Peachey said buyers should not assume anything could be imported if bought on the internet.
'Knives and other weapons are restricted imports,' Ms Peachey said. 'A permit to import a restricted item can be applied for prior to importation.'
Customs corporate spokesman Michael Carter said the matter had been investigated and no one would be prosecuted.
'In this instance, a warning has been issued,' Mr Carter said.
'From now on they will be monitored for any incoming or outgoing cargo.'
