|  | | | Actually, they generally only carry a very small blade. On top of that, it is usually extremely dull and, if I'm remembering high school correctly, is rarely worn outside their clothing.

| | | | Generally, I just carry my Gerber multitool (has a nice black epoxy coating) and it is very sturdy, and it has a legal size blade in it, I think it is the perfect thing

I think its Sikhs that are allowed to carry ceremonial daggers, but i'm pretty sure their religion states they aren't even allowed to use them. There's a few Sikhs in my high school, but they are only allowed to carry the sheath and knife handle.

Yeah, thats probably who I was thinking of, but for some reason I thought it was those of the Wahabi faith. Sikh makes more sense now that I look at them both. thanks.

What does race have to do with it?
|
well, first off, think of the possible reason a butterfly knife might be illegal. it is no sharper than your average knife, even in the hands of a skilled user it takes longer to open than say a folder with a thumbstud or even a fixed blade. so why are they illegal? because in the seventies they were popular with puerto rican gangs, you know, a minority. the butterfly knife was associated with puerto ricans and thusly outlawed. same reason many asian style weapons are illegal, while much more dangerous american counterparts are perfectly legal.

| | | | Not being a police officer or an expert on the law or anything, I was given some information from a police officer about who can carry a knife on their belt. He stated that in order to carry on your belt a knife of any description size or configuration you must be employed in a profession likely to need such for the course of your duties. This limitation includes firefighters, police officers, correctional officers, hazardous materials technicians and rope rescue tecs.
Notwithstanding that, you still can't possess any hidden knives, or any knife configured as a prohibited weapon. This would be the large blade knives, switchblades etcetera. I tried some quick research on this subject and found that although there is some information out there online, often some exclusions are not included. Why, I have no idea. I found this out when searching for other online legal prints. This information was based on what I was informed.

| | | | I'm not sure about the law for having a knife on you or with you, but I know that any blade that open or come out by a mecanism ex: push button jack knife, or if the blade can swing out on position by movement or gravity, those are prohibed weapons.
Now as I eat at work an apple a day or another kind of fruit, my health requires that I find handy to bring with me an 3 1/2" blade Opinel folding knife. I don't know how I could be charged of whatever unless I use it against somebody. I suppose I could go everyday with my 12" kitchen knife if I would be working in a restaurent: the knife is not illegal and I can justify to have it with me.

| | | | Personally I have never ever ever had any remote need for a knife. We did a expo recently and a newb brought an axe as it was rumored there were squatters in the building. We made him leave his axe outside and despite there being probably 20 or 30 heroin crazy squatters in the building we all made it out alive. One guy in our group shared some smokes with a few of the squatters and we made friends.
Having an axe or other weapon with us would have just made the situation ugly. And even with the 12 of us Vs the 30 of them, someone in our group would have been hurt in some way. not to mention someone in their group. That building was their home and we were the intruders.
We did use a leatherman once for the pliers. But that is hardly a knife in the context of what is being discussed here.
I always loved the Sam Steele stories in history class. The guy was head of the RCMP, took control of all sorts of rough western gun slinging gold towns and the guy never used a gun.
Quintessential Canadian in my book. Should have ranked higher than that Don Cherry blowhard in the greatest canadian show. Allthough I was all for Tommy Douglas winning. A smart guy that stuck to his guns even when everyone said he was full of it (sounds familiar, hmmm. . . )

|  | | | The only reasonj I crry one is beacuse it is now a subconcious habit of mine. I lived in Bear country for a few years and carried a 30.06, loaded out with me when I went riding my bike. I carry a small 3" folding bladed knife. I use it for many things throughout the day, it serves it useful purpose. A lot of people do, they are handy tools.

That sounds really inconvenient 
I carry a multitool at all times, although currently the knife blade is broken, so I sometimes carry a folding pocket knife as well. I'm used to having one for fishing, hunting, boat work, etc, but I don't know much about self defense with a knife. I'm glad I live in a state that still recognizes the usefulness of such things. I saw this old prospector-type guy on campus a while ago, with a long beard, plaid flannels, and a gigantic knife strapped to his leg 
Turn off the internet and go play outside.

| | | | Around here it has to be folding and under 4". Some countries don't even allow locking blade knives.
I always carry a good quality multi-tool and a folding knife. I'm in the market for a good benchmade to replace the shitty folder I have now. The apparition with it's "assisted open" sounds nice.

| | | | I'm very interested in finding the specific law or bill banning certain types of bladed weapon.
I have looked, and the only restrictions I could find were :
a weapon must not be concealed.
blades that open by spring mechanism, or gravity are prohibited.
Now there are practicalities, if you're walking down the street with a broadsword over your shoulder, someone might want to ask you a question or two, but until you use it in an offensive manner, you aren't breaking the law, as far as I can tell.
