Are they legal now? I haven't read the section yet but someone at wanamachers was talking about it. Said they were all legal in our state now? Does anybody else know/have heard anything bout it?

What they did was remove the phrase that made carrying an assisted-opening knife (not a switchblade) a potential crime. Carrying a switchblade is still illegal in Oklahoma.

if by spring assisted you mean Kershaw ZT Gerber etc etc etc that have a speedsafe/flipper type design.....then yes those are legal. Any knife that REQUIRES the manipulation of a button or switch to release the spring to open the blade are considered illegal in the eyes of the court system.
