Folding knives do not auto open, a folding knife would refer to a knife such as a buck knife, or swiss army knife, both of which require to be manually opened. If you are asking how to convert a folding knife or "folder" into an automatic knife, well it is possible but it would have to be enabled for conversion. For instance, a boker magnum AK74 knife may be sold without a spring for legal reasons, then to make it the automatic switchblade it was meant to be, you would have to add a spring by taking it apart. If you are asking how to open an automatic knife (i.e., a switchbalde, or spring assisted knife), then the answer is it has to be engaged with the push of a button, a switch, or a lever; doing so will allow the spring to deploy automatically given you took the safety off if it has one.
Since I am unable to see the pocket knife, I am unable to identify it. I recommend taking the pocket knife to someone who sells them so they can assist you in identifying it.

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.
If it opens using thumb studs that are attached to the blade, then its is perfectly legal. If it opens from a button on the handle, then it is qualified under the same categorie as a switchblade, which are illeagal to own in wisconsin, and is a class A misdemeanor.
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 mean simulates. it spring loads the blade into the victim, then retracts with the push of a button using another spring.
Its a spring loaded knife blade, you push the blade in and its caught with a button catch, push the button and it releases the blade and shoots out the front.
