Yes, and I don't understand it! The new Gerber Tanto I bought today, isn't even "Sprig Assisted", and you can open it in a flash!!!

It's for officer safety in case they get caught in a finger snapping rumble between the Sharks and the Jets.

Yes many knives that are not an automatic can be opened just as quickly as an anutomatic. Stupid law.

This.
I can flick my Benchmade and it will snap open in a flash.
I don't even need to touch the thumb stud or the axis lock.

I still think it's weird that they are always for sale at gunshows. I was even in a gun shop a few weeks ago that had a few Benchmade Infidels in their case. Hopefully they will change the law....I want one

Then every single one of those folks selling them is risking arrest and confiscation of them.

Agreed...I wasn't trying to argue the fact that they are illegal. Just think it's weird to see them so often. Ninja stars too. There are always throwing stars at the 1500, and Cops everywhere. Never made sense to me. Hopefully they realize the law is silly and just don't care.

I agree they should be legal but until then they should not be allowed on the tables at the gun shows. Some gun shows do allow it though. You are right about LEO's being all over and doing nothing about it. Some of those knife dealers are from out of state and I have heard them in passing tell customers that they are legal and then when a customer comes to our tables and ask for them and we tell them they are illlegal they tell us we are wrong because of what the out of town idiot told them.

Look for show tunes on the floor of the General Assembly next session.

Just get something with the wave feature. Faster deployment than an auto anyways.

I'm the only one in this room professional enough, that I know of, to carry Chinese throwing stars.

i dont carry Chinese throwing stars.. i carry thin paperweights with spikes on em.

Maybe we could work out a trade--we get our automatic knives and they can ban tongue studs, nipple rings, and pants that don't cover your BVD's...

For the same reason Chinese throwing stars are illegal. Some legislator saw a movie and got his knickers in a twist. But nunchucks are not illegal here. Every state has its own peculiar list of 'dangerous' stuff. Go figure.
