Re: New knife
Our gun laws are nuts but not so much with knives. Or crossbows. Anybody can buy one over the counter.

Yes, a fixed blade can be carried openly.daytime dave wrote:Can you openly carry a fixed blade there JCN? We can in NY, but it varies by region on "social acceptability". In the countryside and mountains it's common place. I rarely see many people still carrying a belt pouch folding knife in suburbia.
I agree with the social acceptability though. Maybe not a great idea to carry a big fixed blade knife openly as it would draw attention. I don't live in a rural environment.

Re: New knife
Even with rural living here, it would make folks nervous in town for sure. Lucy would have some "splainin'" to do.

Re: New knife
Va restricts switchblades, ballistic knives, dirks, butterfly knives, and a few others. You can own them all in VA, you just can't carry them.. A large segment of the population believes there is that arbitrary 4" blade restriction on folding knives as well, however, unless there is a local ordinance, no such restriction exists in state laws. (The law could have changed in the last ten years... but I doubt it.)

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

Re: New knife
Since I'm not allowed an OTF (out the front) automatic here in Washington state this will probably my next knife purchase. Watch the video, pretty impressive strength for a folder.

Re: New knife
I have a number of cold steel knives in my collection. Never been disappointed in the quality.

Re: New knife
dave77, I have an original Cold Steel AK-47. I really like the locking action on it. This is the second generation. It looks good too. As BoM just stated, I have several Cold Steel knives. I have the Tantos from Japan. True classics.
Thanks for sharing.
BoM, you have to show us those Cold Steel knives.

Re: New knife
I've been thinking about ordering one of these for my collection, legal here since they're assisted. Don't know about the quality since it's a $40 knife but at least it'll be kind of neat for the novelty. There is a video of the action in the link.

Re: New knife
dave77, I know someone with a knife like that. Remember, it's a $40.00 knife. It's a single action Out the front automatic. It would be a fun "toy", but not too practical. If I remember, my friend's broke shortly after he showed me.
Save your money and look at one of the quality makers. If they call a single action OTF spring assisted where you are, look at Paragon. They make some pretty good ones. They are a lot more than the one you're looking at, but it will last.
Let us know what you get. They are fun to "play with" use.
