the guy did sound like an idiot. if he had a problem, he should have called the police or a rent a cop or something to settle the dispute, not start trashing the guys stuff to get his knife back. who spends 300 bucks on a switchblade anyway. if its illegal, then he shouldnt have it.

i carry a 5" serrated one with one of those buttons on the blade itself so you can just flick it out with your thumb..the blade will be out in a 1/2 blink of an eye..works for me..till i upgrade my self security system..i plan on getting a hand gun and CCW ..just the way its gotta be these days unfortunately..i've only had to pull the knife a couple times in self defense ONLY..but one of these days thats just not gonna "cut" it

i must be sheltered, cause i feel no need to go around toting weapons. if i needed a knife and a gun to function in my surroundings, id probably save up and move.

the only thing you need to defend yourself from in kirksville is the occasional squirrel or stray cat.

I have a "switch" blade too.
I dont know about the whole US, but in CA switch blades and butterfly knives are illegal. Mine isn't spring loaded, so its legal. And the guy who thinks carrying a knife makes you scum needs to be ****ing stabbed in the face.

**95fbirdkid** · 02-10-2005, 05:34 PM

butterfly knifes and fixed blades are illegal to carry in ohio. I always have atleast 1 on me, most of the time i have 2-3 knifes (bootknife, folder in pocket, and either fixed or folder on back of my pants). things are only illegal if someone catches you ;)

Just saw this, thought should let you guys know:

Under Penal Law § 265.01(1), a person is guilty of criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, a class A misdemeanor, if he possesses, inter alia, a "gravity knife, switchblade knife, pilum ballistic knife, [or] metal knuckle knife." Under this provision, the mere possession of one of the listed items constitutes a violation of the law. See People v. Talbert, 107 A.D.2d 842, 843 (3d Dep’t 1985); People v. Dolson, 140 Misc.2d 240 (City Ct. 1987); cf. Penal Law § 265.01(2) (criminalizing possession of any dangerous knife "with intent to use the same unlawfully against another"). These per se illegal knives are specifically defined in the Penal Law. See Penal Law § 265.00(4) through (5-.

Various exemptions to the possession of illegal weapons are set forth in Penal Law § 265.20. With respect to weapons other than firearms, these exemptions include possession by law enforcement, prison and military personnel, id. § 265.20(1)(a)-(e), (2), and the possession of a switchblade or gravity knife while hunting, trapping or fishing pursuant to a valid license, id. § 265.20(6). Although firearms that are otherwise per se illegal to possess (pistols and revolvers) may be possessed by individuals licensed to carry them, see id. § 265.20(3), there are no provisions for the licensing of otherwise illegal knives.

i'd rather take my chances with the law and protect myself against the thugs

I carry a Benchmade Mel Pardue 440C on me at all times it even has it's place on my night stand.

**3.4 slow to go** · 02-10-2005, 06:52 PM

switchblades illegal???? DUH!!!!! have been for a long time.

Ilike what you did to get it back from being stolen. Who's tosay the shop keeper wouldn't keep it himself. But you also asked for what happened too.
Buy a quality sharpening set & proudly'privatley display the knife in your secure home. If it gets confiscated at alater date because you refused to NOT carry it around, too freakin bad.

**5SpeedBird** · 02-10-2005, 07:40 PM

switchblades are not illegal, if if, you have the knock off with %5 or less spring assist.

I have a %5 Ohio legal switchblade.

Anything can be called a switch blad if you push a switch n it pops open. Weather your doing ll the work to open it, or not. Its the spring tension that is use to open the blade, and that is what makes it illegal or not.

Ohio, its 5%
