Just curious why it cannot ship. ?

 

[dsdmmat]

Ask them. They are the ones refusing to ship.

 

[cgrutt]

No clue but clicked link and it said it couldn't be shipped to my location either. Then clicked first "scariest" black knife I could find and no restrictions.

No clue. Maybe something wrong with coding on listing?

Lol. So some chick named Tiffany in Mumbai is gonna be able to interpret New York weapons restrictions. Why didn't we think of this before?!

PS - not being a jerk, just thought it was funny

Put yourself in Amazon's shoes. Would you risk the NYS Attorney General getting on your case over this? I wouldn't.

Or maybe it's just Amazon implementing socialist agenda....

Sounds like another case of "because NY".

So now we're scared of a 3" folder? And it's orange to boot! LMAO

Knives laws in the U.K. are a Mother

Agreed this knife seems legal and this is incorrect. Contact Amazon and ask about why, and explain the knife meets the legal requirements for NY.

 

[libertysnake]

Actually fuck it. I'll call them. I'm curious to know while I drink my afternoon coffee.

A young woman at UPS tried to tell me I couldn’t ship empty 1911 magazines to EB for a trade in.
Her Boss corrected her.

Cabela’s won’t ship bear spray to NY , but REI will.

"Gravity" knives used to be illegal in NYS. Then they realized that pretty much any knife fits the definition as if you apply enough force to it you can get the blade to swing out. This law was changed and signed off on by Cuomo, but in most places it still appears in the penal law. This is the source of your problem. There is nothing illegal about this or most knives. There is no blade length restriction even though a lot of people say there is. They are just misinformed. As long as it's not a switchblade (there is a hunting exemption to this one) or dagger you are good to go. NY does however have another section of law that makes any dangerous object illegal if possessed with intent to be used unlawfully against another. A screwdriver, kitchen knife, or even a fork could fit this definition.

 

[libertysnake]

I called Amazon. They told me to "report inaccurate information" on the listing, which is a link on the page. I'm going to do so and post documentation showing the law was eased in march 2019, so there is no legal reason to restrict these.

You should all do the same so Amazon lifts these restrictions.

 

[PutnamCharlie]

Tried to buy my son a bb gun last night and they said they wont ship to me. Went to the manufacturers website and they said no problem. At this point I will pay more just to avoid giving amazon my money.

There is no blade length restriction even though a lot of people say there is. They are just misinformed.

Note not statewide but some local and/or city codes may impose blade length restrictions for example NYC and Rochester.

Rochester exempts pocket knives. NYC is NYC....

 

[Toecutter]

Amazon has different seller that do business under their name . It may be the seller who is restricts it not amazon. This may be why other scary knives will ship. That being said i would exhaust other options before buying from amazon.

 

[Nighttrain]

Amazon has denied a couple knife purchases and I received one that I thought was a copy of a spyderco

My go to for knife/products is now Home Page | SMKW problem solved

 

[Saltwater60]

They have stopped shipping most folding knives to NYS. I wanted a zero tolerance knife and they said no. They apply NYC knife laws to all of NYS from what I have seen.

 

[wizrd]

See if cutleryshoppe.com has knives you want - they ship everything to NY.

Amazon....demorat supporter

It is not illegal for Amazon to ship “legal” knives to upstate. That is an internal policy. So skru’em Check out smoky mountain knife works, they will ship you NYS legal knives... flippers and assisted included. They have a ridiculous inventory and good prices. Look at their daily flash deals. Amazon is not your friend.

Midway USA won't ship a inline musket to a NY FFL

Carry assisted knives at your own risk. See the matter of People v Berrezueta. The conviction was challenged and upheld by the highest court in the state.

FU Amazon.

Sad. For years I've tried to avoid, as best I could, taking money out of my pocket and giving it to those who basically shit on liberty.
Even more sad, I used to shop through Amazon Smile and direct donations to St. Jude's...no more. But Amazon IS out of control and I do my best to support vendors who are respectful.

I just bought a nice spiderco on eBay. Got a tracking number today.
