Hold on there......flintknapper wrote:No problem in this state. It is NOT considered automatic or a "gravity" knife.
The blade needs to be 5" or less, and it cannot be sharpened on both edges (false edges do not count although some LE don't know the difference). The fast draw has a drop point blade with a small amount of "false edge" on the first part of the top. Not a problem.
Enjoy your knife.
here is the definition of a switchblade, which is a prohibited weapon;
(11) "Switchblade knife" means any knife that has a blade
that folds, closes, or retracts into the handle or sheath, and that:
(A) opens automatically by pressure applied to a button or
other device located on the handle; or
(B) opens or releases a blade from the handle or sheath by
the force of gravity or by the application of centrifugal force.
edit: beat to the punch!!
