New knife
I was looking on Amazon at some Black Friday deals. Found a real nice Schrade Uncle Henry bowie knife with real stag handle for 60% off. I ordered it and will be here this week. 10" blade. A little different shaped blade than my other bowie. Will post pics.

Re: New knife
I'll keep a sharp eye out for it.....
Do you have rules/regs on knife carry in Alberta? It would be interesting to learn some of that stuff.
A little complicated here in MO, but still have laws that mostly support EDC of knives.

Re: New knife
No issue with fixed blade knives that I'm aware of, although walking around town with a 15" bowie might not be a good idea, and would likely draw some unwanted attention. Any kind of switchblade is illegal I believe. Folding knives are ok too as long as they don't operate like a switchblade.

Re: New knife
We have ours in October. Don't ask me why. Maybe the pilgrims got off course and ran aground in Nova Scotia in October and by the time they got it off the sand bar and sailed to Plymouth Rock it was late November.

Re: New knife
No concealed fixed blades here in CA. Includes carrying them in a backpack! It's a felony.

Re: New knife
Can you openly carry a fixed blade there JCN? We can in NY, but it varies by region on "social acceptability". In the countryside and mountains it's common place. I rarely see many people still carrying a belt pouch folding knife in suburbia.

Re: New knife
Interesting laws in your locations, JCN & Dave. Although here in the Show-Me State the knife laws are mostly direct and understandable, they are not fully knife-friendly. Open carry of any legal knife is allowed with the exception of certain sensitive locations -- such as schools. Concealed carry is extremely restricted. Missouri does not allow us to carry any concealed knives whatsoever. The exception is ordinary folding pocket knives with blades 4” long or shorter. At the same time, below the state level in some towns the legal concealed knife length is reduced to less than 3.5” in some cases, and up to 2.5” blade length in others. These variations make it a little complicated to carry a knife and be in compliance.
One of the state laws is friendly and helpful. For persons who only have one hand, MO allows these persons to carry a switchblade with blade length at 3” max. I understand this aligns with overall American law. I thought this is cool to have in place.
Final comment. That was an interesting phrase you used, Dave, on NY allowing open carry of a fixed blade based on the "social acceptability" of a region. Wonder how that is determined?
All this stuff does keep us on our toes.
