Canada, home of the brave, bans import of most folding knives.

I am not really in those knifey circles any more. US sites have been carping about possible changes in Canadian knife law for a long time and gravity knives have been part of that . But, its not like the UK here. You can buy a crap or semi decent knife in any Canadian Tire or sport shop, and dedicated high-end cutlery stores are features of at least one mall in each big city where you will see grannies buying knives with their 16 year old grand kids … more so in some provinces than others. These past couple of years, I believe very little that I see on the internet. I shall look into it. 
This particular one has the familiar feel of a right wing, US-inspired anti-Trudeau cage rattling pacé the truckers revolt of a couple of years back. Shit-disturbing they call it here. They are coming for your guns kind of crap. They really aren't.

I've recently come back from Canada and saw quite a few folk with large folders clipped in a front pocket. No one seemed bothered. More concerned with recycling rubbish, saving the planet one napkin at a time I saw on one dispenser. I then went outside where nearly every vehicle was a big V8 pickup.
I think by their nature or culture, the staff and owners of knife companies in the US (elsewhere too, of course) might tend to be a bit isolationist and mistrustful of foreigners. It's my own predjudice, I know, but a vivid one that seems to explain a lot. I have been here since 2007. Of many dozens imported, only one knife (a little trad Northwoods slippie) didn't make it in all that time.
