Can you carry a knife in public in Canada?

I will be moving to Winnipeg, Manitoba in the next year or so, and I was wondering what the knife laws there are? In some states of the US you can wear large pocket knives in public and private establishments as long as the belt clip or the holster is visible on the outside of the body and not concealed. I would like to continue doing so if it's possible.

The first girl is right, I am a former chef and when I worked years ago in Alberta, I was amazed the number of guys with knives on there belt in seethes, if you carry it in your pocket in any province that is considered a concealed weapon and is illegal, but most provinces allow a certain size and blade length to be carried in public in plain view.

Switchblades are illegal in this country along with snap butterfly knives, but a jackknife or small utility knife even those used in construction are allowed, but check with the local police force or RCMP to make sure, you could be innocently walking down the street and be stopped and then what do you do?, ignorance of the law will still get you a fine or charged.

Is it legal to cary a Ka-Bar TDI knife in California?

Ka-Bar makes a great "easy deploy" knife for utility and security situations that can be worn in a nifty plastic belt holster. Very much interested in picking one up, but I'm not sure if it would be legal to carry (concealed or outside)...
Is it California legal to carry a fixed blade knife (3'' or shorter) concealed? Worn on the hip?

In California the length of the blade is irrelevant. All fixed blade knives are "dirks or daggers," and thus cannot be carried concealed. A knife worn OPENLY suspended from the waist in a sheath is not concealed. (Penal Code section 12020.) However, this is only State law; there may be some local ordinance prohibiting the open carrying of knives.
