Age Requirement

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your province, state, or territory, if higher) to purchase from Northbound Blade. Our products are not intended for use by minors, and we ask that customers keep them out of reach of children.

Know Your Local Laws

Laws regarding the purchase, possession, carry, and shipment of knives, blades, and edged tools vary by country, state or province, and even city or municipality. It is the customer's responsibility to understand and comply with all laws that apply to them before placing an order, including but not limited to:

  • Minimum age requirements for purchasing or owning edged tools
  • Restrictions on blade length, style, or carry (open or concealed)
  • Import restrictions or customs requirements for cross-border orders (Canada & U.S.)
  • Local, state/provincial, or federal regulations specific to your jurisdiction

If you are ever unsure whether an item is legal to own, carry, or import in your area, we recommend checking with your local police department, customs authority, or a legal professional before ordering.
