a switchblade uses a spring to open the blade upon the pressing of a button. this is an ordinary folding knife, no springs or buttons to open it

Below is the current LAW for Colorado regarding the public carrying of a knife: "Colorado - Criminal Code Section 18-12-101. Definitions... (e) "Gravity knife" means any knife that has a blade released from the handle or sheath thereof by the force of gravity or the application of centrifugal force, that when released is locked into place by means of a button, spring, lever, or other device... (f) "Knife" means any dagger, dirk, knife, or stiletto with a blade over 3-1/2 inches in length, or any other dangerous instrument capable of inflicting cutting, stabbing, or tearing wounds, but does not include a hunting or fishing knife carried for sports use. The issue that a knife is a hunting or fishing knife must be raised as an affirmative defense. (j) "Switchblade knife" means any knife, the blade of which opens automatically by hand pressure applied to a button, spring, or other device in its handle... (a.3) "Ballistic knife" means any knife that has a blade which is forcefully projected from the handle by means of a spring-loaded device or explosive charge." I'm not an attorney but the above regulation, pursuant to Colorado Criminal Code Section 18-12-101, covers every single "spring-loaded" folding knife where the blade can be released by the push of a button (in this case, it's a "thumb-lever" spring-loaded release mechanism), whereby making it illegal to carry such a knife in a public place. Believe me, should you be stopped and searched by a law officer and he/she finds a knife like the one listed here -- you will be arrested and charged with a felony crime!!!

Basically the law in Boston, which I quote below, makes it legal to carry only if you have an excuse why that is related to a utilitarian use rather than as a weapon. In other words have an excuse planned ahead of time. Quote: "16-45.1 Carrying of Weapons Prohibited. No person, except as provided by law, shall carry on his person, or carry under his control in a vehicle, any knife having any type of blade in excess of two and one-half (2 ) inches, ice picks, dirks or similar weapons that are likely to penetrate through police officer's ballistic vests, or other object or tool so redesigned, fashioned, prepared or treated that the same may be used to inflict bodily harm or injury to another, except: a. When actually engaged in hunting or fishing or any employment, trade or lawful recreational or culinary activity which customarily involves the carrying or use of any type of knife, or b. In going directly to and/or returning directly from such activities, or c. If the knife is being transported directly to or from a place of purchase, sharpening, or repair, and if packaged in such a manner as not to allow easy access to the knife while it is being transported. No person, except as provided by law, shall carry on his person, or carry under his control in a vehicle, a machete. For purposes of this section, "machete" means a heavy knife at least eighteen (18) inches in length and having a blade at least one and one-half (1.5) inches wide at its broadest measurement. This subsection shall not apply to carrying a machete on one's person or in a vehicle if the machete is carried for the purpose of cutting vegetation or if the machete is being transported for the purpose of cutting vegetation. " SO, lol, if you want to carry a machete around, bring a pineapple with you too so you can say you're going to cut it later.

Trusting the word of a random person on Amazon will land you in jail. Look up your state penal code and make the determination. The rules for states are often written in cryptic language that makes it a mess anyway. Search "California knife laws" on google and read the whole thing. Hope you figure it out, this knife looks pretty nifty.

I believe Kershaw has designed around this... check google. I am relatively certain they are legal in CA.

The blade is much thicker than a real knife. It probably won't fit in anything.

I am not a sword expert, but I can fairly certain that it is folded steel.Swing it at someone and it will hurt. A lot.

It works just like any other knife with the piece of metal in this picture is on inside right side of the v This knife is probably against the law for you to carry if you can't even close it Sorry to be so blunt but it is a spring assisted knife which in most states is illegal to carry unless your a first responder Please be careful it is not a toy

The knife has a metal spring lock on the back side. You just push it back and fold the knife down

Slingshots with wristbraces are not allowed in NYC. Without a brace is legal. It's a supposed "power issue", which is misunderstood by the dummies who make laws about things they know nothing of.NJ says NO to ANY kind of slingshot.

They were thinking about making small blades legal but they aren't. My swiss army classic was confiscated sept 5th 2014 at Denver

I purchased two because one did not. Be sure that it specifies. Also this is not a folding knife.

There is a thin metal fin that runs up the middle of the handle. Use your thumb to push it to one side and then fold the blade down.

It is not a real benchmade knife, therefore it was just a play of poor "copy-cat" workmanship. The locking mechanism is not the correct size nor shape to hold both ends together. In fact the lock plays a huge role in the faults of this knife. By squeezing the two handles together it's not only putting pressure on the locks bolt, but also on the handles rotating bolts.
