This is not a question about laws. Almost every post mentioning "Canada" has got to do with laws. Yes it's legally allowed.

This question is about "what is your experience with carrying a fixed blade while hiking in Alberta Canada?". Do people give you dirty looks? Are you ignored? Have you seen other people carrying one (eg. on their belt)?

I recently got into fixed knives in a big way and I look forward to going on hikes, or even walking into Banff wearing one sheathed on my belt. It's all perfectly legal. But am I going to enjoy the experience, or am I going to hate it because people are going to stare with their judgmental gaze?

Thanks for sharing!
 
I spend a lot of time in the mountains West of Calgary and in the Jasper area. I wear a fixed blade very often, openly on my belt. A range of sizes. Everywhere from downtown Calgary, Calgary pubs and restaurants, small foothills towns, Rocky Mountain House, Jasper, trails and slopes, lodges, etc. Often a neck knife as well. Banff, same story.

You absolutely will not have a problem.
