I was just told buy a knife dealer in Canada that he could sell and ship me a knife but I couldn’t return it because Canada has set restrictions on folders coming into the country. You better check thoroughly before shipping ….. and then start electing candidates that believe in basic freedoms.

Are they legal without a sheath because my mom lost the sheath and the mini dagger that went with this knife in the 90'sDaggers are legal in Canada.
Yes that's not important.Are they legal without a sheath because my mom lost the sheath and the mini dagger that went with this knife in the 90's
Don't send switchblades, balisongs some flippers and any folder you don't need to touch the blade to open.

Ok thank you. So a 2" Swiss army how would that okay or because I've read that there's a issue with so really small knivesYes that's not important.

How odd. Was there a special reason to buy it in Canada and then to want the option later on to send it back from the USA to Canada?Cold Steel Recon 1. Blades Canada
That just sounds like a lot of extra steps.
A couple municipalities have laws about carrying knives so you should check where you're moving.Ok thank you. So a 2" Swiss army how would that okay or because I've read that there's a issue with so really small knives
A small knife like a SAK isn't an issue. You can even fly with a 6cm blade here.

Shipping will be under CBSA (Customs) and whatever they say goes, so check their site directly for info. For carry, check both your city laws and provincial laws as well, as there can be some odd conflicts (for example, Calgary and I think Edmonton both prohibit concelied carry of knives, but open carry is fine some of the time, which can lead to a fixed blade on your belt being more okay than a SAK in your pocket) also what you look like matters a lot as cops are.... human? In general though, lawful excuse goes a long way. (Self defense, not an excuse as it proves intent.)
Ownership is not really restricted apart from certain types as mentioned, autos, balis, etc.
