In Canada and probably some states the laws were actually written when automatic stilettos and butterfly knives were the only knives the you could open with one hand and they saw one handed opening dangerous. A few years later Spyderco put the hole in their blades to open them one handed and its just evolved from there.

@kropotkln6 жыл бұрын
Even if other knife laws remain more or less unchanged, gravity knife legislation (especially the "centrifugal force" clause) needs to be thrown off the books with extreme prejudice. Almost any common folding knife can open by "centrifugal force" if you try hard enough. Gravity knife legislation has done nothing for society besides easy pay days for bored NYC cops. At the expense, of course, of the otherwise innocent but extremely unlucky stop-and-frisk recipient in the blue-collar neighborhood.

@xKaidoh7 жыл бұрын
Hi Jeff, just wanted to let you know, since you stated at the beginning of the video you don't want to do anything illegal, based on the legal definition in NY: ...any knife which has a blade which is released from the handle or sheath thereof by the force of gravity or the application of centrifugal force which, when released, is locked in place by means of a button, spring, lever or other device. This is still considered a gravity knife, which would make it illegal.

URGENT NOTE TO VIEWERS. Do NOT do this modification to your Kalashnikov. The spring prevents the blade from slamming into the backspacer of the knife. Closing this knife with gravity is very fun, HOWEVER, without the spring, the blade will hit the backspacer and leave a HUGE knick in the blade. Reprofiling is the only remedy.

The laws here is Kansas used to be very strange., but now, they are just a little strange. The only limitation now is that throwing stars remain illegal. It used to be, I could conceal carry a gun places where my pocket knife could be illegal. The new law is more permissive, though it was amended after someone noticed the legislature forgot to make it preemptive throughout the state. The laws are one thing, but the case law really tells you where the problem areas are. Here, I would be on better legal ground defending myself with a gun than with a knife. Knives still cause a great deal of fear.
