🇨🇳 Thanks for the tips
Shun Fong Express and the Chinese train company consigment both denied it because the knife as a whole is >15cm
So I think we're out of luck
Maybe we can ship it OUT of the country back to Europe with FedEx though
Even the domestic airlines ban knives from check-in luggage!
Anyway good lesson here: never ever buy a kitchen knife and think you're gonna travel with it in China, our hotel guy said Chinese never ever do this either cause they know how strict it is here
