Droid1963Spring assisted is (or at least was) acceptable as long as it is not activated by a button, toggle, sliding bolster, etc. On the scale or frame of the knife. You can buy this knife in Canada. You can buy Kershaw Speedsafes etc. no problem. At issue is a new interpretation but hopefully things will settle down soon. I’m like 20 for 20 shipments through since the decision. (Hoping I didn’t just curse that.)

The Canadian Criminal Code wording on prohibited knives is exactly this:
(84)(1)(b) "any 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 the handle of the knife.
Also, the CBSA has been confiscating all sort of knives including Spyderco (because of the hole that allows one-hand opening, FFS!) and even fixed-blade karambits because the ring at the end could be used as a ”knuckle duster”... I am crapping you negative.
Tread lightly, my fellow Canuckistanians, and remember that the gubmint knows what’s best for you!
