RE: Illegal?
I really cant see an officer coming down on a fisherman for having a fillet knife or a smaller lock blade in his fishing gear.

Carrying or concealing any weapon is an offence here in Canada........... - as Mike H said - gravity blades, switchblades, daggers, and butterfly knives are not a tool but an offensive weapon.......... And so I would imagine are the latest fad of military styled lock blades.

Think about it......... most hunters carry a good sized fixed blade on their belt (i.e not concealed).......... not to mention the GUN................. without problems.

I've carried a small pocket knife most of my life.............. and multiple knives that have a sporting utilitarian purpose on all my fishing trips - with no issues whatsoever. Including those trips with my cousin who was an OPP officer for his entire career - he carried them too..............

Boils down to this - carry a baseball bat out to the park during the day on Saturday = no problem. Get caught by police in an alley with a baseball bat hidden under your overcoat at 2:00am = you're gonna get charged.

<>< I once gave up fishing. It was the most terrifying weekend of my life. ><>

See you on the river.
