Maybe I shouldn't be, but I'm into folders. Probably because I'm white collar unfortunately.

Look at the reviews for these cheap ass ones. Wow.

Nothing wrong with a good folder. And like you said if you've got to wear a tucked-in shirt then you don't really have the ability to carry a fixed blade.

Ive been eyeballing these two knives from Tops.

This one from Tops is on my short list

Been on the search for awhile now too. Need a folder for same reasons. I asked in another thread but got no answer. Anyone know if there are legal issues if blade style is aggressive looking and knife is designed for self defense vs other more conservative blades. Would having certain ones be considered concealed weapons?

Well I am not a lawyer, but here's my take. If you ever ended up using the knife in a self-defense situation I am sure the prosecutor would have a field day with the designed intent of that knife.

• It is illegal to own any knife adapted for use primarily as a weapon

No matter what knife you carry, if you are ever questioned by a police officer your answer can only be that you carry it as a tool. You basically never want to say it is for self-defense because it's going to get you in legal trouble whether you win in the end or not

Tops has nice knives, and I love blades between 4 and 5 inches. But the knife I'm looking for really should have a blade at two-and-a-half to three inches.

For me, I'm looking for a knife I can wear horizontally on my belt at the 11 o'clock position and that should be reasonably concealed under a t-shirt.

 

[Doc8404]

I was once told by a trooper that my SOG Ti Flash II was illegal. "Lucky" I was in uniform and he let me go. It was during a traffic stop and he saw it in my console.

He's FOS though. Typical argument of it being an automatic knife vs assisted opening.

I guess concealed is concealed LOL.

Totally derailed now that we are talking production knives. Like this one

@Doc8404 , i looked at that one too. I was even looking at some custom kiridashi type knives,but i like the heavier "stubby" looking blades typically.

 

[dsdmmat]

Tops does make som nice knives.

I actually really like that. Out of all those Customs I listed I really want to get the lucky 13, but it is $200 and that's a lot of scratch. I always look at it as if that's halfway to a new gun, or close to it at least.

Yes but can you carry that gun everywhere you go?

I would, although it may have to be carried vertically on my belt. Everywhere that doesnt have a metal detector.

Edit, i misread your post... your 100% right, and thats exactly why i like nice knives. Now, i really need to take a knife fighting class already.

Now, this is the White River Knives GTI3. Its another one id like, but its also $200

Yeah, unfortunately, it doesn't take much. Now I'm gonna end up with 6 new knives by tomorrow!

I disagree with that. If it's assisted as the website states it's not illegal. I bought a Kershaw and thought it was illegal. I asked my dad who's a Col and he said no it's not illegal because you have to start the opening yourself. Also it does not qualify as a gravity knife because the spring is opening it. Only concern I have with the knife you described is it looks like a button on the handle opens it. So that may have been the issue. If the thumb studs open it I can't see it being illegal. Also doubled edged knives being illegal never made sense to me.

 

[Doc8404]

He's a Colonel with the NYSP? Cool.

 

[Celt]

Whether it's technically legal or not many Leo's are ignorant of the law and if they think it's illegal you will be arrested anyway.

I can't stand little baby knives like that. They make me cringe... ugh.

 

[Celt]

What knife are you referring to?

I have one of those. Great knife.

 

[Uzi]

Pretty much all of them to be honest. I don't carry anything under 10" anymore because it defeats the purpose for me. I'd be lying if I said yours didn't look really cool though.
