Each individual state (and sometimes individual counties, cities, and towns) may, and often do, have laws restricting weapons including knives, often specifically mentioning switchblades. Laws often refer to blade lengths and styles to define tools with useful purposes. The definition of a legal knife is often taken in context with the situation. Some states allow police officers to declare any object, screwdriver or broken bottle as an offensive weapon. These state laws differ greatly. Switchblade knives are legal in 28 U.S. States in one way or another for citizens. Switchblade knives are legal in all U.S. states for Military personnel and other qualified individuals.

To answer your question plainly, Yes, Switchblades are legal in Georgia. =)

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.
