| I’m going on a trip to Halifax in early October and I know gun anything is a super no go, but would like to at least take a knife. Are there any restrictions on knife carry like blade length, assisted opening or otf? Any help is appreciated. |

I travel to Canada regularly and have looked into this. From what I can determine: Fixed blade = ok, and I couldn't find any restrictions on blade length Two handed opening folders (eg multitool, traditional red Swiss Army Knife) = ok One handed opening (switchblade, OTF, butterfly, etc) = prohibited Assisted openers, like Kershaw seem to be prohibited under a customs rule from 2018 (link) I check my car/bags to ensure nothing more potent than a multitool and a Swiss Army. I also do a sweep of the car to make sure I don't have any stray gun stuff (mags etc). edit - if any questions are asked, your knife is a tool for opening packages and so forth. Not a peep about "just in case" or "self defense" |
