South America Knife Laws

[Diggerdog]

Hi Guys. I'm going to Brazil for 1 month. Anybody have any advice or suggestions about their carry laws. I was hoping that I would be able to carry a small folder at least. Please let me know if you have any info. Thanks. Dave

I haven't been to Brazil but I have been to Columbia once and Honduras twice in the past few years on medical missions. Central and South American countries do not like flick knives, thumb studs or opening holes on the blade... or knives that look weaponized. A simple folder with a blade under 3" should be okay...Swiss Army would be better. Remember RULE # 1 about traveling down there is ...Don't take anything there you are not willing to leave there!
