Canadian Knife Legislation

Wikipedia’s section has a handy list for any Canadians training weapons arts- a bit about the legislation and a list of weapons that our illegal in our country, as well as the rules around knives from many other countries.

“The Canadian Criminal Code criminalises the possession of knives which open automatically. Section 84(1) defines “a knife that has a blade that opens automatically by gravity or centrifugal force or by hand pressure applied to a button, spring or other device attached to or in the handle of the knife” as a prohibited weapon.[10] Only persons who have been granted exemption by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police through the Canadian Firearms Program are allowed to possess (but not acquire) prohibited weapons.”
