I've read up extensively on Canadian Knife laws, and to my knowledge bowie knives are legal.
However, spiked wristbands can apparently be confiscated. The problem with my knife is that it's a spiked bowie knife like this one

I haven't been able to search up any laws on spiked knives, so is this entirely legal? And no i dont walk around in public carrying my knife either.
 
If you're not carrying it around you're fine. To my knowledge it is legal to own in the home any knife with the possible exception of switchblades.

Those "spikes" appear to be saw teeth. Those are designed for utility use, not as a weapon. If it had a spiked knuckle-guard, that's a different story.
 
There is a short list of knives that are prohibited in the Criminal Code, including switchblades, gravity knives, any knife that opens via centrifugal force, belt-buckle knives, push daggers, and any knife under 30 cm disguised as some everyday object. You can't own them, period.

This is none of those things, ergo, entirely legal. If you were to start carrying it around, however, a whole new set of considerations comes into play.
