Any other knife knuts out there?

6 years, you're ex-military? or your parents?

[Sal1000us]

Not me but relatives and some friends who worked at TAFB when I was in Norman.

So am I the Spyderco nut? I just have fat fingers so I find most thumbstuds inconvenient. I do however own two Benchmades (a 530 and a Dejavoo). The Dejavoo is almost a Spyderco though. The hole just works better for me. Also, personally the larger handle to blade ratio fits my fat hands as well. I'm not afraid to admit Benchmade does make a fine knife.

my bm will be here on the 6th. i have been carrying a kershaw leek while here in vegas. i carried a blackout before then, but i find a smaller blade to be more appropriate here in the city. i also carry a buck on my hip from time to time when i'm in alabama. i have more knives than i care to list here, most of them inexpensive or just average blades. i do have a few case knives but i rarely carry a folder in my pocket.

[Sal1000us]

Skimo, I just remembered why I got the mini bm, I think it had to do with the 3" blade and the legal suburban carry. I didn't receive the mini bm today so went ahead and bough another Leek. I am going to post a pic when they are all here.

I have been using a SOG pocket knife for several years. It has never let me down.[/img]

[inexpensivebeer]

I still have my SOG JetEdge. ATS-34 and couldn't love it more. Easy to sharpen and holds an edge. Probably my favorite knife.

[Sal1000us]

I have been thinking about buying a SOG FLASH I or II plain edge. They look cool, specs are impressive and wicked-quick blade access.

21 Okl. St. § 1272 (2008)

§ 1272. Unlawful carry


UNLAWFUL CARRY

A. It shall be unlawful for any person to carry upon or about his or her person, or in a purse or other container belonging to the person, any pistol, revolver, shotgun or rifle whether loaded or unloaded or any dagger, bowie knife, dirk knife, switchblade knife, spring-type knife, sword cane, knife having a blade which opens automatically by hand pressure applied to a button, spring, or other device in the handle of the knife, blackjack, loaded cane, billy, hand chain, metal knuckles, or any other offensive weapon...



I hope that you do not carry that device off-base, friend.

[Xobeloot]

Military, police, and any other government or service person can carry an auto-opener wherever they please.

Back to your regularly scheduled program...

I am also a Benchmade nut. I never own multiples, but I always replace benchmade with benchmade.

Right now I am carrying:



And yes Faust, I carry it EVERYWHERE :lol:

Once again, you seem to have made this up on the spot, thereby being full of shit, to put it crudely.

Remember, I have access to all statutes within the Empire:

15 USCS § 1244

§ 1244. Exceptions

Sections 2 and 3 of this Act [15 USCS §§ 1242 and 1243] shall not apply to--
(1) any common carrier or contract carrier, with respect to any switchblade knife shipped, transported, or delivered for shipment in interstate commerce in the ordinary course of business;
(2) the manufacture, sale, transportation, distribution, possession, or introduction into interstate commerce, of switchblade knives pursuant to contract with the Armed Forces;
(3) the Armed Forces or any member or employee thereof acting in the performance of his duty; or
(4) the possession, and transportation upon his person, of any switchblade knife with a blade three inches or less in length by any individual who has only one arm.


In short, cops do not get to to wield switchblades. Soldiers do, but only when they're on duty. Carrying a switchblade off-duty is a felony. Amputees also apparently get to wield short switchblades, which is both anachronistic and stupid. But hey, I don't make the law - I simply practice it.

[Sal1000us]

Spring assisted / assisted opening knives are not classified as switchbladed (by law) but open as fast as a switchblade :wink: The knives I carry are all spring assisted and so is Xobeloot's BM. Nothing to be concerned or worry about Faust.

[Xobeloot]

If that is the case, why can I (yes ME) walk into any Wal Mart and purchase an auto-opener here?

You can live in your law books all you want, but real life doesn't resemble your copy & pasted pages.

I utilize my blade in public (in front of law enforcement) and They don't go toting me off to jail.

Just because you live in yuppie central that throws the book at people who spit on the sidewalk... That doesn't mean the rest of the US does. I bet your little book says otherwise huh?

Do come back with something a bit more witty than just another copy & paste.

[Sal1000us]

The latest addition to the collection of my pocket knives is a crossbill blade which was designed to cut a throat but I use it for cutting oranges, cucumbers and the like. I don't see anything illegal with that.

Er... to the best of my knowledge, a switchblade IS a type of spring-loaded knife. Unless you mean the ones that unfold rather than spring out of the hilt... Historically speaking, those tend to be far less dangerous.

On the other hand, even this distinction is preempted by Oklahoma's criminal law. Didn't you notice the following language in the statute?

"spring-type knife"

Calm down. Georgia is an idiotic state. I have done my search, and it appears that Georgia has NO laws concerning the purchase/possession of switchblades.

Hence, you can buy it in Wal-Mart.

Also, your anecdotal observations are ridiculous. Cops do not HAVE to arrest you when they see you with a switchblade - it is a matter of discretion.

The way these things work, the minor crimes are only added on when you commit a bigger crime. For example, say you drive drunk... The cops pull you over, discover a switchblade, and add that to the bigger DUI charge. This way, it keeps you in jail loner and makes the cops look better. I doubt they would really care that you're peeling an apple with a switchblade (or what have you)...
