Declaring unique weapons

[URIFiggy]

Hello all,

I have a concern about importing weapons into Canada, specifically swords. I participate in Renaissance faires here in the states, and have aquired a few swords, daggers, and other weapons that I wish to bring with me once I'm granted permanent residency. Are there any specific things I have to do when declaring these items? I read information on firearms and other weapons, but didn't see anything specific on swords. Does anyone know the protocol for this?

Thanks!

You can import swords, except for :

(a) Sword canes/umbrella daggers more than 30 cm in length – These are swords contained in canes, frequently where the handle of the cane also serves as a handle for the sword which is sheathed inside the cane’s/umbrella’s shaft.

So then I should just treat them the same with all my other belongings. That's a relief. Thanks!
