In order for a lock-back knife to be the legal size, the blade cannot be longer than seven inches. However, carrying a lock-back knife in public is still considered illegal regardless of its size.

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.

You have to be touching the blade itself to fling it open, even if it is spring assisted. So basically here is a quick rundown.
