Best Answer

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.

It is my understanding that the switch blade\automatic knife was made legal in Colorado in the early part of August, 2017More information:Each state has its own regulations about knives. Many permit switchblades, but might specify the maximum length or whether it may be carry concealed or open carry. Please see discussion below for a link summarizing each state's law.


Are switchblades legal to carry in Oregon?

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.
