Are gravity knives illegal in Maryland?
No, gravity knives are not illegal in Maryland.
Knives are regulated under two statutes of the state's Criminal Law article, Title 4-101 and 4-105.
4-105 is a ban on the sale of switchblades and ballistic knives within the state, and gravity knives do notmeet the state's definition of either because they don't have any form of spring or mechanical device that propels the blade.
4-101 prohibits the carry of certain weapons concealed (open carry is always legal unless banned by local city ordinance). Some knives are mentioned, but "penknives" are exempt from this prohibition. The statute itself does not define "penknife," but a binding court decision in 1979 ruled it means any knife with a blade that folds into the handle, no matter how large. The statute states penknives with switchblade mechanisms are still illegal to conceal, but all other penknives are legal. This makes both gravity knives and butterfly knives legal to carry in Maryland unless prohibited by local ordinance.
To head off a potential criticism of this answer, there are those who might point to a ruling back in the 1964 that stated gravity knives were considered dangerous weapons. However, this ruling is now invalidated due to both changes in the law since then and by the later ruling in 1979.

as long as the blade is not longer than 4 inches it's not a problem.
but wearing it say on your belt, in a holder is not recommended as the policemen/bouncers may ask you to leave it at home or in your car.
so carry it if you want but keep it in your pocket or out of sight.

How did John Nelson Cooper make his knives?
It's all explained in the Cooper knife book. Authored by William Martin and Paul Basch.
John Nelson Cooper used the stock removal method to make his knives. He used 01 carbon steel and cartage brass for his guards and butt caps. His handles were made from micarta, he also held two pattens for the way he attached his guard to the blade. The book that was written by Martin and Basch is the only book written and only 500 books were printed, so good luck on finding one.

What is Ancient carraca navaja folding knife?
The Carraca Navaja folding knife was a type of large folding knife often carried by Corsican bandits. The "Carraca" comes from the sound made by the ratcheting lock mechanism on the knife,which produced a series of clicks as the knife was opened.
When the bandits would stop someone on the road to rob them, they would open the knife quickly, and the ratcheting lock would make an audible "Zzzzzzzzzzzt" sound. The lock mechanism is released by lifting a catch which is similar to a clasp knife, that is located on the spine of the knife near the bolster where the blade pivots.
