This thread Will never die!

I got a very cool Kershaw at WalMart this weekend...assisted opening...black...and cheap!

I think it will now by my carry blade in my purse..I love the assisted open...!

 

Yes, the Ken Onion Kershaw's are awesome. I have bought six of them. Three as gifts.

 

Im not real sure I understand on the 'assisted opening' knives. What is the difference that keeps cops from screwing with you over them as opposed to a switchblade?

 

The distinctions between an "assisted opening" knife and a switchblade are twofold. First, an assisted opening knife requires the user to move the blade 1/4th of the way through the opening swing whereas a switchblade opens on a simple button press. Second, where it is typically legal or permitted for law enforcement (and sometimes EMTs) to possess a switchblade (to quickly cut through seat belts clothing or shoe laces), it is not generally acceptable for a civilian to have any but assisted opening or manually opening folding knives. If caught with a switchblade, expect the minimum penalty to be confiscation. Anything worse would depend on the situation and the broad discretionary power law enforcement has.
Note that this distinction is not always clear to the Federal authorities and that U.S. Customs has periodically seized imported shipments of such knives. Then legitimate, law-abiding firms such as CRKT have had to engage expensive attorneys to get their property released. Similar delays of time and money are something which an individual civilian user may not be able to afford either to recover property or to avoid prosection. There are sources on the Internet to get law enforcement switchblades but they should be avoided.

 

I don't know of anyone that has ever been arrested for carrying a Ken Onion Kershaw.

Cool deal, glad to hear it.

All work and no play makes the G-man a dull boy.

 

Well, looks like my day should be full tomorrow. Seems a friend who works at the local pig farm has 2 pigs he is suposed to shoot in the morning due to injuries and if I show up they are mine and if not they will just be disposed of so looks like I get to butcher 2 pigs tomorrow.
