There is a large Canadian retailer that currently has over 1k of folding knives in stock and imports them every day. TC

A couple of years ago I tried to order a red dot sight but was denied because of some ridiculous protocol of not sending from the US to Canada because it's a a firearm accessory. So just for the heck of it I ordered a knife with a 4" fixed blade, and that was no problem.

So the knife on the right is illegal and the knife on the left is legal?! I can open the folding knife using centrical force and without touching the blade so it must be illegal, right?
