Hi guys. New to the forums and had a quick question about Canadian customs seizing knives imported from the states.
I am a new knife collector and just started about a year ago. I have been ordering from some Canadian vendors with luck, but have found that the American site bladehq has a really good selection in terms of models of beautiful Spydercos in which I love so dearly.
Well, I admit I have made a mistake and bought a small knife from bladehq that I think may be illegal in Canada now that I have done my homework, it is pictured below. I bought it to add to my collection as a cool piece (not for any self defence carrying purposes) as it was on sale and I was able to purchase it without any issue online. It is labelled a “neck knife” not a push dagger but has the push dagger design from what I can tell.
Now I am wondering if Canadian customs will seize the knife. I’m ok with that, but if that’s the case, would they or do they seize the OTHER knives I have in that order? (Spyderco and a Boker liner lock folder) or might I lose these as well?
Just looking for some info as to what I may have gotten myself into and if it will be a nightmare to get my other stuff. Don’t care if I lose it I just want my Spyderco.
thanks guys for sharing your expertise and experiences
