Shipping to Canada! please HELP!

[cobo231]

Hey,

I'm new here but i really need to know about he laws implied on Canadian border patrol and what they will tolerate to be shipped into Canada.
i recently bought a cold steel magnum kukri machete, a cold steel bushman Bowie knife, and a cheap Chinese open assisted knife. and i'm wondering if these will even pass the border into Canada. it would be a great help if you guys gave me the info on all this.

Thanks - Corey.

The first two are fixed blades. Canadian Customs doesn't worry about fixed blades. Those should go through just fine.

Folders are a different story. Knives than can be flicked open can be classified as illegal and confiscated. We can't say if the particular knife you got will get caught up in that definition.

No assisted opening knives will be allowed across the boarder unless the pivot is tightened up so that it cannot be flicked open with one hand. Your machete and bowie knives will be fine as Esav just explained. Lable the contents as 'tools'. Don't ship via courriers as many of them place ridiculous brokerage fees, but rather send the package via USPS.

If you are shipping them is there a way to tighten down the pivot on the the assisted? If you can it should get through fine. Ive gotten a sog flash 1 through no problem and that is also an assisted knife.
