What is the legality of spring assist folders? I'm worried after the local big 5 pulled theirs overnight if these are considered switchblades here?

Thank you for your question. Spring assist folders are typically legal, however, you would need to check the laws of your state, county, city and any other local ordinances to know for sure whether this knife is legal. The spring assist action and the length of the blade would both need to be looked at for legality. You didn't mention where you are located, but I would hope that a folder like this would not be illegal. Sorry I couldn't be more help and answer your question with a definite answer, but hopefully this helps a bit. Nathan The McInnis Group, Inc.

Yes it is spring assist and opens very quickly. Good knife for the money. Cannot go wrong for the price.

Yes, and no. SpeedSafe is Kershaw's rendition of "spring assisted." Function-wise, yes it opens like a spring assisted. However, some states have restrictions on spring assisted knives, yet to my knowledge, Kershaw's SpeedSafe is legal in all 50 states.

This blade is legal in Texas. There were also some more knife laws passed that even allow some switchblades.

The best answer I have is that they are magnetic assisted fasteners with clips. If you look at the detail picts you will see a spring loaded slide in clip..In addition, I couldn't be happier with my bag! It's truly a show piece and worth WAY more then the $100+ they are asking..

No, not spring assisted. You can adjust the tension on the pivot screw, so you can flick it while pushing on the tab of the blade with your forefinger. BTW, use a little locktite 242 or a TINY bit of clear fingernail polish to lock the threads on the pivot screw where you want them - good to go!

My wife, who is the primary user, did not use it enough yet to brake the blade - a frequent occurrence I can assure you. That is why we got the more professional machine. Sorry, No new blades yet. No idea where I would go at this time. rlp

I've used X-acto knives since my teens (I'm now 61) and I have never seen protectors on the blades by any Mfg., it is too be understood that these are for use by those who are old enough to safely use these tools which is what they are, and as are a lot of tools, they can be dangerous if not handled correctly. I would suggest that the user take their time and handle them safely.....

Bob, I can't say exactly but I put a advertised 5" folder spring assist with pocket clip in one and it was snug but not tight.

Trusting the word of a random person on Amazon will land you in jail. Look up your state penal code and make the determination. The rules for states are often written in cryptic language that makes it a mess anyway. Search "California knife laws" on google and read the whole thing. Hope you figure it out, this knife looks pretty nifty.

OK. Heres the deal. I ordered my blade and it was perfect. Then I ordered a Gerber Auto. When I received it the tip was slightly ground incorrectly. I called the seller, and did some research. What I learned was that Gerber can be a little loose on their quality control. Out of every ten blades one will be off. Bottom line is that if your unhappy with what you paid for then I would either return it, or exchange it. Be very clear that the tip is slightly bent, and that you would like one that isn't. That way they won't send you another that is bent. If this is a private seller than he should know exactly what your talking about, even if he's playing a little dumb. Good Luck! OK. Heres the deal.

Its a switchblade where it comes out of the end. Although it is a little difficult/awkward to use the switch that opens and closes it. Honestly I would not recommend it. Not exactly they best, when you have it in your hand it makes it feel like it was cheaply made!

I'm in the same position. It was recalled due to a possible blade ejection.http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml09/09311.html

This is so sad. The knife used to be the US-made Schrade 153UH Uncle Henry Golden Spike and was also made for Sears as a Craftsman knife with the usual nice warranty for fixed blades. But Schrade-USA closed due to labor union pressure, closely followed by Camillus of New York for the same reason. The old, venerable American blade brands, patterns and patents were sold. They are now being made overseas alongside chopsticks. Hooray for organized labor. :(

you have to get the blade cut at the honda store. my case broke also. My blade was fine but the way is secure onto the case, you need to get the key cut.
