That’s because of how much leeway the CBSA can now use. “Even the old trick of tightening the pivot down by the shipper so the knife barely opens until the pivot is released by the buyer will no longer work.” “Vendors outside of Canada, like me, will no longer ship any knives to Canada other than slip joint, lockback or fixed blade knives,” Ostroff said in an e-mail. Neil Ostroff, owner of True North Knives, and someone who relocated to the United States from Montreal, told BLADE in an e-mail that his options for Canadian customers are now limited. Bad idea.” Restrictions Severely Limit Options for Canadian Enthusiasts
organization to come try and fix Canadian law. So, no time, lack of resources, and quite frankly, it wouldn’t be taken well for a U.S. “I have offered to help with advice and such based on our experience if they put together a Canadian organization, but I can’t do it for them. “I have gotten about a hundred emails and calls from Canadians about this,” noted Doug Ritter, chairman of Knife Rights. It isn’t only the knife world in the U.S. “From what little I know, I expect this will be an ‘all hands aboard’ effort.” At this time, AKTI is working to understand more about it so a cogent response can be strategized and developed,” said BLADE Magazine Cutlery Hall-Of-Fame© member Les de Asis, CEO of Benchmade, in an e-mail to BLADE.
“I attended an AKTI board call last week where this very recent ruling was discussed.

KNIFE FLICKIT MANUAL
The new rules prohibit assisted opening knives, automatics and any manual knife that can open by centrifugal force from entering Canada. Knifemakers and knife companies based in the United States and elsewhere are scrambling to find a way to push back against new rules adopted this month by the Canada Border Services Agency. What is the proper way to open with Axis, holding down one side or both? It does still seems a bit stiff with both methods which I understand is an aspect of new knives and I've already ordered a tool to adjust the pivot screw, but I'm curious to hear thoughts on this as well.(Image by Spend A Day Touring, LLC via Flickr) So, my question is, is there a "correct" way to open the knife and is flicking it open detrimental to the knife in any way? Is it the intended method? I don't mind the options obviously, and I'll probably use both mechanisms based on the situation. Even researching now, it's hard to find anything official on this subject, mostly old forum posts from pre-2010. Everyone uses the thumb stud and I guess just sort of assumes everyone knows how Axis Lock works. I read countless reviews on the Bugout and other Axis Lock knives and I swear none of them mention this or how Axis lock actually works, nor do review videos show it being opened this way. Needless to say for the past 4 waking hours I've been flicking it back and forth like a madman due to its ultra-satisfying fidgetabilty. From there I also figured out you can completely close the knife without touching the blade at all with a reverse flick in the opposite direction. I was under the impression you could only deploy it via the thumb stud, and closing it with your finger on the back of the blade while holding down one side of the Axis lock. I feel pretty dumb after discovering on accident that you can open the knife without the thumb stud by holding down one or both sides of the Axis Lock and giving it a nice flick open. I just got my first Benchmade the other day, the Bugout 535BK-2 and absolutely love it.
