futuredivot 0 #1 February 11, 2015 Seems like I recently read that some officers in some departments were checking by holding the knife by the blade and flicking the handle, which is generally heavier. That's a bit shady. But it is what it is-last year I told a group I was riding with "Do what you have to do but when we hit Chicago I'm not stopping for anything. I'm at least 6 different kinds of illegal there and they are going to have to catch me."You are only as strong as the prey you devour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
normiss 895 #2 February 11, 2015 I'm concerned about my growing collection of Kershaw assisted opening knives. Hopefully, the Florida supreme court decision that folding knives 4" and under are pocket knives, not weapons, will stand up for us. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My favourite for doing everything round my property and when I hunt is my Opinel. Very simple, very light, very cheap, VERY sharp!

champu 1 #4 February 12, 2015 In Los Angeles if you can see so much as a pocket clip on a folding knife then it's considered exposed and the knife blade must be less than 3" regardless of how it operates. ...it's one of the reasons I like my Charge... 2.9" main blade Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy9o8 2 #5 February 12, 2015 QuoteA true 'Gravity Knife' is the type carried by paratroopers. Point it down, push the catch, and the blade slides out. It can be operated with one hand to cut yourself out of a tree. That's why I always carry one on the International Space Station - no matter what, they're always legal! QuoteThe current NYC thing is a perversion of the original intent of the statute and it disgusting what the cops are doing with it. One more good reason to move the hell out of NY state. I assure you, cops everywhere do one form or another of this style of opportunistic chickenshit to jack people up. It's just a matter of method and opportunity. If you're going to move away from it, you'd have to move to, say, Belize. I'm not even sure where Belize is, but you'd have to move there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
