I have a Kershaw. I cant remember the model but it is basically a legal switch blade. It is spring loaded but you dont push a button to open it. On the back on the knife the rear of the blade has a ledge that you push. Because you are pushing on the blade and not a button it is legal.

 

any blade above 4" is illegal all over, thats approx the width of your hand.
thats how most people measure them

 

I have alot of knives that are illegal then.

 

When I was in the military I had a bunch also. Got stopped my the MP's down at Camp Pendelton and they confiscated them out of my trunk.
Damn C.G. Checkpoints

 

what in the world do you need a switchblade for??

 

Down here we call them a Flick knife, and they are illegal. In fact it is illegal to carry a knife at all no matter what size unless you need it in your job 02.gif

 

kinda off topic but this is knife i made in foundry

 

The S.P's here don't care about knives unless it looks like you're trying to hide them. I've gotten stopped several times and had a knife with a 6" lockblade and they looked at it and gave it back. I was always told if you're military you can carry something that size. I could be wrong though, too.

BTW Pyro that looks bad@$$.

 

All over Queens maybe. Most hunting knives are larger than 4" and they sell them at Wal-Mart.

 

I take that back, closed it is 5 1/2" and open it is 10" w/ a blade length of about 5" and it is a Gerber Applegate/Fairbairn Combat.
