Thanks, I might take you up on that depending on how it plays out this year. Just a shame that the last few have required jumping through hoops for. The few I have from years gone by, were just as simple as ordering from any dealer that ships to Canada. Still don’t get why a couple won’t. I’ve read about import laws and restrictions, as long as it’s not a restricted material like ivory, (not sure why anyone would want elephant ivory anyway?) there’s no reason a slipjoint can’t ship here. To date I’ve never had any knife traditional or modern seized by customs, delayed twice I think but that’s it.
Here’s what I think happens concerning CBSA and seizure of LEGAL knives.

Lots of people want to try to fly knives to canada under the radar...they undervalue (because canadian customer wants to save on tax and duties) or list it as some “camping tool” or the like.

I have been shipping legal knives for myself into canada for 20 years. I have used every shipping service around. Lol. I don’t lie about the price, and I correctly have it stated what is in the box. I have not once had a knife seized even after being inspected.

Lying/trying to deceive on the customs form is illegal. CBSA has google, so if they inspect it and it is undervalued or not what is stated...it’s getting seized.

Slipjoint are 100% legal to ship to Canada. Appropriate value and stated as a non-locking pocket knife.

That being said, anything can happen...been good so far...knock on wood. :)

@Pàdruig Pretty sure you knew this already, but tagging you nonetheless. :)

Sorry for the slight derailment
 
Works for me too. I’d gladly throw in an extra buck or two.
 
Could we pay homage to the new forum software with this years’ knife? Move something somewhere it shouldn’t be (maybe stick those fancy bolsters down on the other end?), get rid of something useful (86 the nail nick entirely?), and etch as many new emojis as we can on both sides of the blade. ;):oops:🌭⚾🥌🛶🔪📟🥨🦐🧙‍♂️🦨🍺🚀🔧🥘🦄🦾🥴🎬🪠😵🛒🛸🍾😀👍
 
By my quick count, we’re currently at about 550 knives (+\- a few). 348 replies in the other thread, 202 of which are requesting two knives.
Don't forget to exclude the random ones that ask for zero! 🥴 🙄

550 sounds like a good number. I know Bill likes to avoid the monotony of high production numbers, but needs enough to make it worth changing out the tooling.
I'm guessing we're on track for a cool 700.

That’s why it’s +\- a few, the small number of posts that didn’t follow the no commentary/chit-chat rule, and my count of requests for 2 knives could be slightly off (but it’s close). I guess the question is will GEC make us that many knives? If I remember correctly, their cap on SFO’s used to be 500.

If its 348 total replies and 202 of those are asking for 2 knives...that would be 348 + 101 = 449 knives. :)

Edit to add: This is wrong. Haha

That must be the "new" math they are teaching these days...:)

Well, there are three kinds of people in this world. Those who are good at math and those who aren't
What is the correct answer?

If there are 348 total replies in the thread and 202 of those replies are asking for 2 knives, answer is 449. Actual correct answer is 550.

If 348 replies are for 1 knife and 202 ADDITIONAL replies are for 2 knives, then the answer is 550. Actual correct answer is 752.

Edit to add. (Facepalm) I’m gonna leave this here, even though I am wrong, I now realize.
Embarrassing. Lol. I’m not perfect, and I know it. My apologies folks. Good thing I didn’t do anyones taxes early this morning. Haha

I especially apologize to btb01 btb01
