Would you be willing to spend the night in jail to tell your story? That was the option that NYPD offered my son over a $35 knife.flintknapper wrote:I would gladly go to court over it.

Re: Texas decision against assisted opening knives
I think switchblades are illegal because of the movie 'West Side Story'.
Auto openers are actually safer to handle than two handed openers or assisted openers where you have to touch the blade to open the knife.

Re: Texas decision against assisted opening knives
If a LEO were determined to cause difficulties for you, most every assisted open knife can also be classified as a gravity knife. Most of mine can be flicked open without using the thumb stud. I actually try to work them in enough that they can open that way. Go ahead and give it a try with yours and you'll see what I mean. Of course the longer blade assisted openers are easier to operate as a gravity knife.
My son had his small SOG confiscated at the Statue of Liberty, officer said it was a gravity knife, and after about 20 tries he did get it to open. Told my son if he didn't want to surrender the knife that he could tell his story to the judge in the morning. I hope that NYC officer is enjoying his new knife.
