What type of knives are illegal in Canada

As a responsible knife maker, it is important for us at Grizzly Blades to educate our customers on the legality of various types of knives in Canada. While knives are an essential tool for many outdoor activities, it is crucial to know which ones are illegal to own or carry in our country.

Here are the types of knives that are prohibited by law in Canada:

1. Switchblades: These are knives that have blades that can be automatically released by the push of a button or a lever. They are prohibited under the Criminal Code of Canada.

2. Butterfly knives: Also known as balisongs, these are knives that have two handles that rotate around the blade to open or close it. They are illegal to own or carry in Canada.

3. Gravity knives: These are knives that can be opened by the force of gravity or centrifugal force. They are also prohibited under the Criminal Code.

4. Push daggers: These are knives that are designed to be held between the fingers and are used for stabbing. They are classified as prohibited weapons in Canada.

5. Any knife that is concealed and not readily visible: It is illegal to carry any knife that is concealed and not visible to others. This includes knives that are hidden in clothing or in a bag.

While there are many other types of knives available, these are the ones that are prohibited in Canada. As a responsible knife owner, it is important to know and understand the law regarding knives in order to stay out of trouble.
