I hope that this will come under folding knives,but does anyone here have automatic knives???
IN my state (CT) you can possess one on your property but not carry it unless you are law enforcement,so I am basically covered.

Right now I have:
1- Ox Forge original "Black Knife"
2- MicroTech OTFs
2- Rat Worx blades
1- BenchMark Sidewinder

According to AKTI,37 states now allow auto knives with hopefully more joining in.

The ultimate one hand opener! I have a few. Mostly Benchmades but I picked up a Buck 112 auto recently. I don't tend to carry them but I believe in Florida you can carry with a CCP.

I believe Michigan ranks as the worst state in regards to automatic Knives. Possible 4 year felony to even have one in your home. Obviously not fully enforced, but it is on the books if caught with one. I hear in Florida you can walk around in public with a switchblade between your teeth.....legally.

P.S. Michigan, does allow anyone (non felon) to walk into Walmart with a sidearm on their hip.

I just went online with BladeHQ and ordered a Buck Impact auto knife.
Hopefully it should arrive in a few days. Retails for $225-259 and BladeHQ hade this one going for $159.

I thought that Buck only made the 110 in auto configuration but obviously they expanded the line.

I am glad to see that Knife Rights and AKTI is agressivley going after states to eliminate the switchblade laws.

Colorado made them legal to carry this year. I like micro tech out the front knives.

Alabama is legal. I have an assortment, but am partial to Microtechs.

I have two HALO's .....they are by far the best action, but so damn big. Sheath carry only.

The largest of the autos that I have is an Ox Forge "Black Knife" and that is about the upper limit for pocket carry.
So far,all the rest are clip on type.

I have two on me now,a MicroTech in the left pocket and a smaller Rat Worx in the right.

Probably when the Buck Impact arrives,it will replace the MicroTech for the time being.

I tend to "rotate" my knives and carry pieces.

Biggest auto I ever owned was a Benchmade Ruckas. Huge knife.

I have a Benchmade 5220SBK, which is their "Griptilian" line, axis lock for first responders. Very solid, strong spring. The lock release is also the blade release, which tickles my "design efficiency" nerve.

I don't carry it mostly because recovery isn't as graceful as a non-automatic knife.



Does state law prohibit city from enforcing stricter laws? Last I checked, Denver was pretty bad with their knife restrictions.

Eric,
MI recently repealed the auto knife law. Still it is pretty much in a gray area about OTFs but it is better than it had been.
