Looking for a folding knife

If these features are prohibited in Canada, how does Grimsmo continue to operate?

Again not illegal to own - just illegal to import yourself.

I’m Canadian and I’ve invested half my paycheck into a well-known distributor out of Vancouver for years now!

I've been known to spend a buck or three there, myself.

They take a good bit of my money too.

They are not prohibited from being owned in Canada, just importing them.

Buy from a Canadian dealer and you have nothing to worry about.

Plenty of local shops in Canada that are selling flippers, button locks, etc.

The law has to do with importing. See:

Notification of Canadian International Trade Tribunal Decision on Centrifugal Opening Knives
Customs Notice 18-01

Wait, guys. If I bought the knife from Cabela's Canada in 2021, it is not prohibited to own, only prohibited to import/move through the border?

Correct. You cannot import certain knives into Canada now.

Anything you can buy through a Canadian dealer is perfectly legal to own.

I am sorry

i have been looking for a knife I droped down a sewer grate, but the streetlight was over on the corner . . .


Waite; I think I told that one wrong.

Come to Texas. Texas law allows you to openly wear about any knife in public now.. . . . maybe not a Machete.

No laws against open carry in Canada either. You'll attract a lot of police attention, however.

Please correct anything here, I just looked up one site...

This is legal, which is very confusing. The laws are so blurred I wouldn't feel comfortable getting caught with one.

Certain thumb stud knives – Knives having “thumb studs” attached to the blade that are independent of the handle (not protruding from the handle in the closed or folded position), and that open automatically by applying pressure to the thumb studs


This is illegal... sounds like all folding knives are prohibited!

“Constant Companion” (Belt buckle knife) – A belt containing a blade capable of being withdrawn from the belt

Sweeping Canadian Law Bans Many Folding Knives

Travelers to Canada will want to double check all their bags following the country's prohibition on many knives still legal in the U.S. and elsewhere.

*edit: These stupid laws would not prevent me from carrying ; ) USA, MFs!

There is a version of the Mercator that comes with a clip.
