I started out professionally on FORTRAN IV. (84-90; but I used WATFIV in college.) So we're Axiom *and* FORTRAN buddies!
I'm curious, why are those knives illegal in Canada?

Interesting article about he knives. I'll have to remember to remove the multi-tool from my glove compartment the next time I pop over.

I took a multi-tool with multiple blades on a carry-on during two flights within Canada. For both flights, I told security about it, they saw it on the luggage scan, and didn't care. Rules say each blade has to be no longer than 6 cm which mine were.
The rules also say to not take on carry-ons if you're traveling internationally.
As for ground transportation, I don't think anyone will care.

BTW, all these illegal "weapons" are legal to possess but not carry. That includes expanding batons, butterfly knives, karambits, cane swords, switch blades, etc.

Speaking of knives, can anyone recommend an inexpensive but good knife sharpener?
I currently use a 120/240 grit Japanese whetstone. I'm proficient enough to get a tissue-cutting edge, but it takes 10 minutes to soak and another 5 minutes per knife to grind and burr it. It's such a cumbersome process that I only do it once a season, batching all of the knives at once.
It's a skill set I'd like to leave in the past, alongside calibrating a turntable and stringing a traverse curtain rod.
I haven't had much success with V-groove sharpeners. My last decent sharpener was a Furiitechnics diamond-fingers sharpener. It worked well, but I wore out the coating and the brand seemingly disappeared.

She looks like she could sharpen tools.

Think people buy that thing hoping the reviewer might ship with it. No wonder Mojo is so into knives
