Dual Action

[Rypper]

Are dual action knives considered automatic; are they illegal in Canada?

I might need an example of the mechanism you're describing.

If you are describing the kind of knife with a visible thumbstud or nail nick opener as well as a hidden automatic opener, the answer is YES! It is illegal. It's still an auto isn't it?

If you need to ask, it's probably classified as a "prohibited weapon" in Canada.

That's like saying "My rifle has 3 settings, Full Auto, Semi-Auto, and Safe. Since it has a Semi setting, is it considered an automatic weapon under the law?"

The answer is YES.
