Is this Knife illegal in NY?

We do not think it is illegal in NY. As we send this item to NY all the time. You may want to check with your local law enforcement to make sure.

I would say no because fixed blade knives are supposed to be out in the open. However, I would call a lawyer or someone else who would know

This is so sad. The knife used to be the US-made Schrade 153UH Uncle Henry Golden Spike and was also made for Sears as a Craftsman knife with the usual nice warranty for fixed blades. But Schrade-USA closed due to labor union pressure, closely followed by Camillus of New York for the same reason. The old, venerable American blade brands, patterns and patents were sold. They are now being made overseas alongside chopsticks. Hooray for organized labor. :(

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

Sorry, I have no idea. Have heard they will allow small knives now. Give them a call

I believe it's very possible. I wouldn't do that to my knife unless I really had to though. The knife is meant for self defense.

Laws vary by state, county, and even town. To answer that, one would need to know every law of every single place you plan to go. Many places outlaw knives with a thumb stud, which this has. This is not an automatic or gravity knife, so you won't run afoul of most such laws. However, many outlaw knives that can be opened with one hand, which this can be VERY EASILY. It is also only 2.91", so any laws prohibiting knives over 3"+ are not a problem. However, if you happen across a city, town, county, etc that has a local regulation against 2.5"+ blades, for example, this knife would be illegal. I purchased this one specifically because I have in-laws that live in a town that has made 3"+ blades illegal. Otherwise, I would have purchased the 3.4" Benchmade Griptilian 552

The product is legal in New York but you must purchase it in person (not by mail or internet) from a licensed firearms retailer or pharmacy.

The blade steel is AUS-8, Japanese stainless steel. Whether or not it's legal to carry depends on your locality. This knife would not be the best for self defense, but it would also not be the worst.

In New York State section 265 of the Penal Law relates to Weapons and similar items which is unlawful to possess. I'm unaware of any subsection that would qualify this as a weapon. Courts could upon their discretion not allow this into the Courthouse.

Hahaha. Why don't you buy the knife and find out. It is one of the worlds worst knifes. Do not buy.

In Texas it is legal to own this pocket knife. The legal blade length in Texas is 5.5'' I think, and the blade on this is 3.5'' so it's good.

Yes it is legal in california. But every county has ist own ordinance. So you'll need to look up your specific rules on knife carrying.

Yes. There are counterfeit knives out there and KABAR provides education on identifying them. The one sold here is not. It's real. It came with a box and small catalog with the knife and sheath.

Its not sharp already? I received mine as a double sided blade. I believe that in most states it is illegal to carry a double sided blade but as long as it stays in the home there is nothing to worry about

Technically it is probably OK, it would be a judgement call by the screener. Is it worth losing it? As far as travelling internationally, it is a crap shoot. I had a similar multi-tool without a blade on my keychain and when I went through screening it was flagged. I tried to explain it didn't have a knife, but the screener just kept pointing to a picture of a leatherman, so I lost it.

Have it shipped to a friend or family outside of the county or city, then have them route to your location. If they require you to list the package's contents, then you simply put "kitchen knife" << there are not any law against those to the best of my knowledge. What ridiculous laws! As if someone cannot go down to the local Walmart and buy a kitchen knife 2x as big to do whatever it is they intend on doing with a knife. What are they going to ban next. . . . Camp saws, pizza cutters? Moronic obligate mouth breathers. Hope this gives some people ideas to get what you need.
