[QUOTE="pritch, post: 2308729, member: 30299"] I love assisted-opening knives. The Kershaw "Speed Safe" system is bettter than many full-on autos that i have tried. Washington had to clarify its knife laws a few years ago because assisted-opening knives were a grey area. The [URL="http://www.amazon.com/Kershaw-1550-Blackout-Folding-SpeedSafe/dp/B0009VC9P4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381019837&sr=8-1&keywords=kershaw+blackout"]Ken Onion Blackout[/URL] was my standard for over a decade. I actually had several and kept extras at my parent's and inlaw's for times I wasn't checking baggage. I have a [URL="http://www.amazon.com/Kershaw-1660CKT-Onion-Folding-SpeedSafe/dp/B0009VC9YK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1381019746&sr=8-3&keywords=kershaw+leek+knife"]Leek[/URL] now and love it. My [URL="http://www.amazon.com/Zero-Tolerance-Combat-Folding-Knife/dp/B0017SC9H6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1381019616&sr=8-3&keywords=zt+300"]Zero Tolerance ZT300[/URL] is great but it weighs a ton in my pocket. The recurve is also a bit harder to sharpen. In respect to the obtuse butt-hurt regarding LE/military carry of autos, many states prohibit autos in general but have an exception for active duty military, law enforcement, and in some instances, "first responders," which is a pretty broad term. I presume the question arose to see if there were similar exceptions in Oklahoma, not enter a philosophical discussion. I think it is foolish to prohibit knives because they scare some people, and think the ability to open a knife with one hand is very important. If I'm holding something that needs cut, I want to be able to deploy my knife and get the job done. [/QUOTE]
