I have a 43" leaf-shaped broadsword made out of high carbon spring steel and a razor sharp edge.
I am very reluctant to take this out of the house for obvious reasons.
Strap it to your back and ride"the dragon" dude. When cops stop you, just tell 'em, I'm here to slay "the dragon"
The only thing you'd need to worry about is being charged with possessing weapons dangerous to the public peace. Just tell them it's a survival or hunting knife (tool) and not a weapon for self defense. You never known when you'll break down in the middle of no where or have the opportunity to field dress some fresh road-kill.
Kinda unrelated, but where do you guys take your knives for sharpening?
(Don't wanna do it myself)
I believe the difference between a straight razor is that you have to hold it open.
As well with "flick" knives you still have to use your thumb to provide the initial push.
It is completely a technicality. I love butterfly knives and I wanted one to practise tricks with. I would never bring it outside or use it for anything but it got stopped at the border and confiscated. I didn't bother trying to argue it was for collection purposes.
don't...tempt...me....
I know this thread is way old and I'm not quite sure how I got here (apparently Googling knife legalities in Ontario puts this near the top of the results) but I tried to get this guy to sharpen some knives for me last week. Heard him coming, tried to call to him from my balcony, no dice. I grab all my stuff I need sharpening (2 kitchen knives, 1 Mora camping knife, 1 hatchet), throw on some flip flops, and head out the door. Soon as I get out there he's leaving already (took me about 1 minute to get out). So now I'm chasing him down in flip flops carrying all these sharp(ish) objects. He got away. I'm sure my neighbors think I'm crazy now.Don't you have one of those old guys driving around your neighborhood in a converted ice-cream truck ringing a bell? That's the knife sharpening guy!!!
But screw that, do it yourself... it's like paying someone to brush your teeth...
I was after the sharpening guy!
Maybe he ran because there was someone running him down with several knives
