One of the early styles, the Italian stiletto, gained popular media attention in 1950s as the weapon of choice for rebellious figures. The style has changed through the years, and many now resemble Gerber work knives. Despite the stye change, they are still illegal in many areas.

unless you have the right tools you don't. you would need to remove all the rivets in the knife, take it apart, and flatten the spring a little. i wouldn't suggest this as they tend to open in the poket if the spring is to light

What kind of switchblades are illegal in New Jersey?

Asked by Wiki User

Section 2C:39-3 of the New Jersey Criminal Code makes it illegal to carry "any gravity knife, switchblade knife, dagger, dirk, stiletto . . . without any explainable lawful purpose." basically, if it can flip or spring open, or has a double edge blade it is illegal. anything with a thumb stud designed to be opened with the stud is perfectly fine, even if you can flick it open, as it is not actually designed to do that. a gravity knife is also known as a butterfly knife.

Asked by Wiki User

laws regarding switchblades vary state to state, some states allow ownership but do not allow a person to carry one. other states it is illegal to even own one...however, there are permits in certain states that allow you to carry a switchblade legally. for example, in new york, you can carry a switchblade while hunting or fishing but you still need a valid hunting/fishing license. again, this is not the case in other states so you need to check with your state laws.
