In writing they said the Kershaw, Onion and other assisted knives did not qualify under this statute and thus were not illegal. Dirks and other double bladed knives have been traditionaly outlawed do to the fact they were designed to pierce armor ( both chain  mail and Kevlar). I have got a few sucessful prosecutions for violations almost all were switch operated knives and convicted felons. I have tried several times for prosecutions under any other offensive weapons on some peeps who tried or stabbed some body with a concealed knife. But it never floated. As far as carrying a switchblade it is illegal. Kind of like speeding though. You may get off, you may not. I personally dont carry ANY automatic knives. Why?? if you ever had to use it for self defense and I was the civil attorney suing you I would show parts of West side story and tell the juriors you were carrying a Illegal Hoodlums weapon......A small fixed blade is quicker and far better...</blockquote>
