I'm interested in making knives; specifically CS:GO karambits (in Cape Breton), and I was wondering if there are any laws or requirements for knife making and the sales of them. I know the laws are kind of non-specific and hard to find, so if anyone knows about this, please help!
 
No registration to be a manufacture or anything official like that. Do what you want as long as it's legal.




No balisongs, no punch daggers, no throwing stars, no brass knuckles, no autos,

no gravity knives - so any folders can not be flip-able this especially relates to friction folders and linerlocks

It used to be D guards were a big no no, but if not intended as a weapon it's ok now.

I don't know how karambits fit that as they are intended as weapons.

No length limits, so anything anyone tells you about a length is BS
-except that cane swords have to be OVER twelve inches.

It's all about intent, if a cop asks you why you have it and say for protection, you're going to jail.

You can search the laws and read them yourself.
They are HIGHLY specific and VERY easy to find

Don't trust what we tell you

Don't ask cops about laws, they have no idea and will just feed you BS to avoid looking stupid

Read the laws until you understand them

A judge or lawyer that specializes would be the best for specific questions.



CS:GO
Is that some sort of video game stuff ?
I won't get shortcut references to that sort of thing, If we need to understand that, spell it out.

Naming your models Throat Slasher and that sort of thing will not be helpful.
 
Thanks guys! I already knew about the knife carrying laws, and trust me, It won't leave the house. I mainly want to sell them, and as far as I know, karambits are completely legal if they aren't being used for self-defence (they were originally used to harvest crops if I remember correctly).

Also, are there any laws or restrictions on selling them (most likely on Amazon). Oh, and are practice balisongs and real machetes legal?
 
There are no specific laws pertaining to the manufacture of knives. Only to the possession of the prohibited types previously mentioned and/or the purpose for which you possess anything that can be construed to be a weapon. Machetes are fine. Practice balisongs.... Don't quote me as the Criminal Code isn't specific on practice implements or replica knives like it is with replica firearms. I would hazard to guess that the material you use for the "blade" would play a role into whether or not your practice balisong would meet the legal definition of a prohibited weapon.

prohibited weapon means
(a) a knife that has a blade that opens automatically by gravity or centrifugal force or by hand pressure applied to a button, spring or other device in or attached to the handle of the knife, or
(b) any weapon, other than a firearm, that is prescribed to be a prohibited weapon; (arme prohibée)


However since the Criminal Code doesn't provide a specific definition for the word "blade" it leaves the whole thing somewhat open to interpretation. I'd consult with a Lawyer if you want a more definitive answer.

But don't take my word for it. Apparently "people" like me have no idea and will just feed you BS to avoid looking stupid....

Don't be offended.

If you are knowledgeable, it's probably because you are interested in knives.

My point was for him to do his own research direct from the source, or from reputable specialists.
 
I have tried to research this before, though I'm not good at finding laws for where I am, and find some stupid (like making an Nissan R34 Skyline an illegal import).
