"A Spring Assisted knife requires help from the user to get them opened. Typically the user pushes a small trigger, or a button, to get the knife about 20 to 30 percent open, at which point an internal spring takes over and opens the knife the rest of the way."
spring assisted knives are legal everywhere, switchblades are not.
yes sprin assisted knives are legal in texas. :]
No, they are actually legal and are very cheap.
No they are not because it is not automatically opening you still have to push a lever.
Yes, spring-assisted knives are legal in Pennsylvania as long as the blade is under 3 inches in length and the knife is not considered a gravity knife or switchblade. However, it is always a good idea to check with local laws and regulations to ensure compliance.
Yes spring assisted knives are ILLEGAL in the state of Colorado if you are not in the Military or a Law Enforcement Officer.Only the following knives are legal in Colorado: -Dirks, daggers, push knives and stilettos.Bowie knives and other large blades.Disguised knives like belt knives, pen knives, cane knives, and lipstick knives.Balisong/butterfly knives are in a legal gray area.Ballistic knives are illegal.Gravity knives and switchblades are illegal.
No! Spring assisted blades are legal in Canada because they do not require you too push a button for the blade to open. Please see assistedknives.com he is a very knowledgable and loyal knife disributor and can answer all your questions.
Yes switchblade's are illegal in Colorado as is any knife that is assisted opening such as a gravity knife like the butterfly knife or is assisted with a spring or lever. This is not completely true. A knife that is "spring assisted" is legal as long as you have to have direct contact with the blade to open it (such as those that have a small nub on the back of the blade, or those that have a thumb nub), while "spring loaded" or "automatic" (as stated above) are illegal. Many knife makers such as Kershaw have spring "assisted" knives that are completely legal in Colorado.
BSA policy is very vague on knives. So long as the spring assisted knife is legal in your state, it is legal in the BSA. Some troops and camps may have different policies on this, but the national policy is YES.
Yes they are
yes and all other weapeonry is legal too
It is legal for you to carry an assisted opening knife but not a switchblade. An assisted opening knife does not have a button but does have a spring, you slightly open the knife and then it opens the rest of the way for you.Remember it has to be under 5.5 inches.
