So does this mean my Leatherman Wave is in trouble now?  What a ridiculous thing that CBSA has the power to do.

I really can't contribute anything but my condolences. I'm so sorry, guys. We've also seen this dance, we all know how it ends.

That might very well be, but if they bid up to dance then dancing might at least provide some damper to their worst moves. Leaving them well alone to regulate unchecked sounds scary.

It might have been those weird fumes I smelled in a confined space earlier today, but all of a sudden I feel all poetic and smurf:

Though wise men at their end know Raven is right,
Do not go gentle into that good fight,
Rage, rage against the dying of the right.

Interesting one. I hadn't heard that one before.

That said talking about hurting, bleeding and dripping might not be the best rally cry for accessible knives..?  ::)  :cheers:

Wow! Canada, where most of the population likes the outdoors, camping, fishing, hunting. How do you select your judges?! Probably like we do, for the looks of it.

 :facepalm:

This can ban ANY knife. You can even flick open a Buck 110, if you hold the blade and flick the knife, letting the heavy handle open and lock in place.

Yup.  It's amazing how many knives this truly covers.

I have managed to open a Skeletool, Surge and numerous other mutitools this way, so many plier based tools will also be illegal to import.

Yeah... the MTO island will need to be outside Canadian national waters now.

But seriously, are non-OHO non-locking SAKs also affected? A SwissChamp is so heavy that it can probably also be flicked open, given a strong thumb nail and index finger, a loose pivot and a weak spring. (I need to try this out. Pity it's at home.) One could then overzealously interpret the extended position as "locked" (note the forum article text does not say how the lock is achieved) - the same spring resists retraction of the blade, initially in any case.

I (still legally) brought it to Vancouver (BC) last autumn in checked luggage from Germany. So this year I can't?

A SwissChamp should be fine, but leave the OHT at home.

This came to mind. Some more laws like these around the world and we really need to be thinking about making this a real thing.

Originally I thought Multitool Island should be in the Caribbean or South America, until I found that one in Quebec.

How about just buying a large carrier and have it stay in international waters? It could move around the globe, avoid bad weather or conflict areas...
