Post your KABAR

My favourite knives are my kabar's  Wouldn't leave home without one of them.
 The top is my kukri for camping and the impending apocalypse. The middle is my combat knife which I use literally every chance I get because it's the best fucking knife ever, I carry it anywhere I can get away with having a 7" blade on my belt. The bottom is my daily carry for whenever I can't get away with the 7" blade. Which is %95 of the time, so this little beauty is usually what I'm holding.
Who else loves their KABAR?

I've never been one to carry a knife on me. One of my major failures as a man.
Guess it's a good time to start

You're absolutely permitted to carry a knife in Canada.

Canadian knife law re: carry depends 100% on INTENT. It is legal to carry ANY non-prohibited knife as a tool. It is NOT legal to carry any knife as a weapon/for self-defense. Make sense? It is legal to conceal a tool, but not a weapon. There is no federal regulation that I know of for fixed blades, or length of blade, etc. Your local bylaws may vary.
The main problem is that there is no definition of what makes one knife a weapon and another a tool. What is or is not a weapon is entirely up to the discretion of the officer you happen to be talking to. It has been my experience that an officer will ask why you have a knife. If you say it is for defense, it will be confiscated. If you say it's a tool to open packages etc, you're usually fine... but obviously some small 3" folder is easier to see as a tool than an 8" dagger or whatever. Again whether your knife is a weapon or not is entirely up to the officer. If he's in a bad mood, or you look "suspicious", you may have your knife confiscated regardless even though there is no law to back this up. Getting it back (if even possible) will take more time and effort than the knife is probably worth.
Quote:
Knife laws are generally handled in Canada on a precinct by precinct basis (municipal bylaws)
the general response from the precincts i contacted in Canada are 3-4 inches will be not issue, as long as you state its a tool not a weapon, and the cop BELIEVES you.
51st (tough neighborhood) said most knives on a younger person would likely be confiscated. however at 53rd (better neighborhood) the reponse was alot "nicer".
with a blade above 4 inches, the police will probably want to put you in handcuffs to talk to you for their safety (not arrested just detained) and will want a good reason why you are carrying that knife.
finally the police in Canada have exceptional leeway when it comes to arresting people and each police officer will be different. With the wrong attitude a 1nch knife can land you in jail (seen it first hand). The police will always give the nod to those who are polite courteous and have the fore-site to come up with an answer before time:
What is the intended use of this weapon? (can't be defense) Could that task be achieved with a smaller blade? Do you mind if we take the blade and you can collect it from the precinct in the morning?
lastly if you plan on going to a bar, do not bring your EDC pocketknife, unless you have exceptional self control. if you get into a fight and are found with a knife, u go from being knee deep to neck deep in just a few seconds.

my buddy almost got mugged in a park (in canada). He pulled a knife and scared the crack head away. Well he made a police report and told the cop he carries the knife just for this reason. The cop took his knife away and said he could get charged for using it as a weapon and not a tool.
thats the only reason i know that the laws are weird.
personally i carry a blade if im going hiking and shit. but i leave it at home if im going in public.

I do carry mine as a tool anyway. And its on my belt I never conceal shit. Ive been carrying a belt knife or a pocket knife since I was 15 and never gotten in shit for it.
Ill never leave the house with my butterfly knife though, thats hella illegal. Im actually a little scared just owning it at all.

Quote:
If a person is found in unauthorized possession of a prohibited knife by any law enforcement officer, the person is liable to a maximum of 5 years in jail and the weapon being seized. The crown can then apply to a provincial court judge for the weapon to be forfeited and destroyed. The import and export of prohibited weapons is also strictly regulated and enforced by the Canada Border Services Agency.[12]
Examples of prohibited knives include:[13][14]
any knife, including a switchblade, gravity knife, or butterfly knife with 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; Constant Companion (belt-buckle knife); finger rings with blades or other sharp objects projecting from the surface; push daggers
ya no doubt....
