yeah it's a good knife solid build my old fault with it is it has the crappy knife lock, you know the one thats just a little spring bar right under the blade. if you go to stab and your finger hits that lock it could snap shut and cut your finger sometime really bad. don't need that when your fight zombies. id prefer a good switch blade to bad their illegal in the us.

they are not illegal in the USA. in fact, they are not illegal to sell. fact is they are a state by state issue thing concerning them. like in my state for instance. you buy them. you can sell them. you can even own them. you just cant carry them. now there are states you cant even do what my state allows. then i ran into states that only law enforcement can own them. its all a matter of state and the laws they have. then the funniest law is in California. they ban the carry of a switchblade. UNLESS it measures a total of 3 inches in length. lol. now that is funny. try killing a person much less a stinker with that. lol. but yeah. its a state thing. i been meaning to set up a section in my ALAMO GUNS page for them. i just never got around to it yet. might do it this weekend now that i made a sticky note on it. lol. thanks for the reminder. lol

we have a similar law here nj for all knives. it's illegal to carry a knife thats blade exceeds three inches or general rule of thumb is the with of four fingers. thats the law but if the cops catch you with it even if its in the legal limit most of the time they will still charge you with it. i mean come on this is the state that banned slingshots for gods sake. kinda you have to have a good reason for having it which basically means it's up to the cop to decide whether or not to charge yo for it. not sure about switch blades but i really really doubt it.

here is the law as it states and it makes it very confusing about whats legal and what not. even the definition of legal is sketch. a real fucking idiot must have written this law.

New Jersey - Code of Criminal Justice

carrying a dangerous knife." (1973)
- "Concealment of weapon at time of incident constituted
important factor of offense of possession of dangerous
knife." (1971)

so from what i can gleam of this law and from Wikipedia i can own a switch blade if i can give a lawful reason to have it which means if a cop finds it it's up to him whether or not to charge me for it. i say its for everyday tasks it's up to him to go for it. but they probably wont because they're dicks. so i can own it but not carry it or any other knife unless I'm going hunting or fishing with a valid license. but for my knives the cops will give you pass unless you get a dick or mouth off to him. and i doubt very much that they will let me carry around a switchblade.

so while i can kind of own one you can't make it, trade it, ship it, sell it or buy it here which means i would have to buy it out of the state and then get it home with out getting caught with it. too much work for a cool knife.

That's what I like about TN, I can carry a large hunting knife or a Bowie knife on my side into Wal-Mart and anywhere else around and it's normal. But if I pull it, it has to be in self defense.  Just like side arms, we can carry them anywhere, but if that weapon leaves its holster, it better be to protect you and those around.

   The rule around here, or the rule thats in the books, the blade cannot be longer then the inside of your car door. If the blade is longer then the thickest part of the inside of your car door frame, then its supposed to be illegal. But hardly no one follows that rule. hell not even the cops follow it...(LOL)

lucky son of a bitch lol. turns out their is no length restriction but the cops can fuck with you for it if they want to so it really just comes down to whether you get a dick or not. which around here is pretty much a certainty. but that hasn't stooped me yet. my first word was knife and ill be damned if their gonna take one away from me now.

the cops in Ohio dont push it unless the blade goes past 6 inches. thats why i keep the one i carry razor blade sharp for max damage with the least amount of effort. lol

yeah. i heard Jersey was run by pickle dicks. here in Ohio. anyone can purchase, sell, or possess anything like a gravity knife or a switchblade. you just cant carry them. and to sell them legally. you need to be a licensed dealer like me. Jersey, New York, and Cali are funky about their knife laws. due to Ohio's laws. i have an extensive collection of switchblades of all types.
