Zytel Handle

About to buy 2 knives, a couple questions.?

1) they’re both legal in Canada right?
2) i can legally import them across the border from the USA into Canada (I’ll declare them at customs)

I have sold several knives to customers in Canada and I have had a few problems with them getting stopped at customs. While I do not know the exact rules pertaining to Canadian knife laws, I know this: they are a helluva lot stricter than the USA.

I suggest searching your own country’s laws before buying.

As to your knife selections, Cold Steel is decent, but I put them third behind Emerson (best production knives, bar none) and SOG. Stay away from Benchmade. They outsource their manufacturing to Taiwan; they have stolen other makers designs, and in general are the plague of knife makers everywhere. Buy knives made in the USA or Japan. If price is a problem, look at CRKT, cheaper than most, and they do outsource to Taiwan, but still decent quality.

Since your looking at two knives with a total of $120, consider one high quality knife:

Just my opinion; good luck!
