Re: Assisted opening knives
I own a Kershaw Tanto Blur, which used to be my EDC knife. I actually have nothing bad to say about this knife, and it has some kind of assisted opening/closing mechanism, which I believe is legal in Texas. However, I have since replaced it as my EDC knife with a CRKT M21-14DSFG, which has no assisting mechanism. I am able to deploy and open this knife just as quickly as I could the Kershaw, and I don't face any of the potential legal issues from an ignorant cop. Also, as well made as the Kershaw is, it's just not as rugged as the CRKT. I still carry the Kershaw when I need to be more discreet about having a knife, because it is smaller and will slip into a pocket more easily.
