Here is your best reference, the actual federal law:
The Criminal Code:
http://canlii.org/ca/sta/c-46/whole.htmlSection 84, definition of prohibited weapon:
“prohibited weapon” means
(a) 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 in or attached to the handle of the knife, or
(b) any weapon, other than a firearm, that is prescribed to be a prohibited weapon;
And of course the weapons regulations here:
http://canlii.org/ca/regu/sor98-462/whole.htmlRelevant parts:
Part 3:
Former Prohibited Weapons Order, No. 4
8. The device known as the “Constant Companion”, being a belt containing a blade capable of being withdrawn from the belt, with the buckle of the belt forming a handle for the blade, and any similar device.
9. Any knife commonly known as a “push-dagger” that is designed in such a fashion that the handle is placed perpendicular to the main cutting edge of the blade and any other similar device other than the aboriginal “ulu” knife.
10. Any device having a length of less than 30 cm and resembling an innocuous object but designed to conceal a knife or blade, including the device commonly known as the “knife-comb”, being a comb with the handle of the comb forming a handle for the knife, and any similar device.
The regulations also outline definition of brass knuckles and a number of other prohibited items.
Hope this helps, and yes I have spent a lot of time reading those things. I try to be really careful of what I bring in and I wanted to be sure that the BARFs made it here safe and sound! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
