No Balis , no autos , no gravity knives . Tighten your folder's so that it wont flip open with a wrist flick , or you risk having it classified as a gravity knife . No blade length restrictions , but common sence dictates something reasonable 3-3,5". For heavens sake never mention self defence , its a tool , got it ? Canadian law is a bit vague , leaving the officer lots of discretion . Generally speaking , if ya don't act like a doofus , or a member of the Manson family , no problems . Concealment isn't really an issue , as we are discussing tools , and not weapons . that said , it's probably not a good idea to hide your Spyderco Civilian in your boot top , while acting up in a bar . In urban enviroments , a FB can provoke raised eyebrows and official questions , I would not advocate doing so . The west is often quite knife friendly , but in sleazy bars in the ruffer areas , packing a large folder might not be a great idea .
Have a good trip ,
