I live in BC, Canada, would it be possible for the pivot screw to be tightened to the point where the knife can not be easily flipped? Even though flippers are fully legal where I live, I don't want to risk the knife potentially being confiscated at the border.
Thanks.

Exit22Just curious, if legal in Canada is there a reason why it would be confiscated at the border? In case I travel there myself.

LazarusLongGravity deployed and automatic knives are illegal in Canada. If the pivot lose the knife might be mistaken for one.

LazarusLongBecause customs agents here are un-educated about knives...they already seized a crkt fulcrum I bought a couple years ago. I went in appeal to try to get the knife back and had to provide evidence that it was not a "gravitational knife", which I did. But the "expert" that reviewed my case was a fuc.... idi... So I understand @Exit22 for not wanting a 525 CAN $ knife seized by our "experts customs agents".
Funny fact: one of these experts once told me that they used watermelons to test the sharpness of a balisong trainer if they ever receive one through customs. If they can cut the watermelon with the dull blade they won't allow it to pass customs. I responded that I could cut a watermelon with a butter knife if I was desperate enough and answered me "I know right". They are a joke...

Exit22So I did find something about adjusting the detent to prevent from being flipped, maybe confirm with the author of the article. Not sure if you want to risk it. http://www.thetruthaboutknives.com/2014/06/knife-review-ferrum-forge-pretium/
