Auto knife thread

[Shoots100]

The newest addition to my OTF knife collection for use while out of doors is from TAKCOM.​

Got the Nighthawk V2 DE, as I prefer my Auto knives with the switch on the face of the handle for Ambi use and don't like having a glass breaker stud on the end of the handle.
I've paid a lot more for knives of the same quality.

Hunting, Fishing, and Fur Trapping – Automatic Knives​

§ 265.20 provides that the “switchblade” restrictions contained in § 265.01 shall not apply to:

Possession of a switchblade for use while hunting, trapping or fishing by a person carrying a valid license issued to him pursuant to § 11-0713 of the environmental conservation law.

Accordingly, those holding the appropriate license may acquire and carry an automatic knife “for use while” engaged in the licensed activity.

Here is my knife collection. I forged the one underneth the karambits.

The only one i dare carry in NYS is the assist one on the bottom of the first column. I think I would be OK carrying the first and third in the first column in NYS as it complies with the length.

When in PA, all the rest are fair game, I usually carry the top Gerber.

FUCK NY and all its live by PERMISSION mantra!

Fuck it all!

Is ridiculous!

Our founders missed the boat, they forgot to write "Pursuit of Happiness once you have Permission"...

Pfffftt!

Auto knives are legal when "fishing" no?

Keep a pole in the trunk lol

 

[FP1201]

Few years back I bought several Buck 110's and 112's that were made by Buck as automatics, they were very nice "hunting knives" sold them all.
I'm always "going hunting" later on...how much later is subjective.

I qualify under "people carrying a knife for work that requires regular use"..

Thanks for all the help and a offer to ship from a free state!
I ordered two Boker's out of Virginia where my brother lives also. It would be a shame if he leaves them in my mothers car when she visits him this month.

Is why when ever stopped and possessing, that it be noted when questioned that it is NOT for protection or defense! That you open boxes all day! Possibly wrist problems from repetitive motion, lol!

Even if retired, that I open envelopes all day from drug companies and national health plans

Hahahahaha

The so called "license" provision would easily be challenged, because the license is not for the activity of possessing the auto. Do licenses list the poles used in fishing? Bait or lures? Is an arbitrary extension... But that's another argument, lol.

Have a great day

 

[MuttCat]

I sharpen all edges on all garden tools, shovels, knives, hoes, weeders...am I in violation?

Shovels are hard to conceal.

 

[Bustedknees]

Yes your our honor, I work with several different knives all day long.

I was in Virginia when I picked these up.
Two Bokers, not German though from HQ Blades.

Sounds like me!

Smokey Mountain Knife Works. At least they used to.

Was in the shop last summer, some decent people working there, one guy, clearly born and bred, was kind of a dick, and not at all happy about helping a "yank" however, that store is really a destination, blade store candy land. Only thing they didnt carry was Helle or Casstrom. Two brands I was most interested in

My helpful brother is now in Germany with his wife and 3 young daughters for a xmas vacation. The first thing I came up with was visiting the Boker Knife Company and buying a case of goodies. He shot me down , saying they are only travelling with carry-ons so it's a no go. I mentioned they would never search his cute twin daughters. Now he won't return any text messages.

You can mail stuff from Germany. Just saying.

He's not thrilled with the idea apparently. I should load up his porch steps with packages while he's gone.

There's a few words I'd bug him for such as Steiner, Schmidt & Bender, Ziess, Swarovsky,...

Major score today!
Somebody from work was begging me to come straighten out his pc. Told him I'm really busy lately and don't have time.

Finally broke down and said ok.
Finished up after about a half hour, he said thanks, this is for you.

He doesn't even know where it came from. I first thought it was a cheap Chinese otf, and said no thanks- Until...

I deployed the blade, and it felt really nice. Blade sharp as fuck (dagger too)
Closer inspection, It's a benchmade! Thanked him for it, and went on my way. Didn't have the heart to tell him what it's worth.

Benchmade 3400 Autocrat

Just to clear things up.

New York State Knife Laws – American Knife & Tool Institute | American Knife and Tool Institute

Exception also applies to first responders

I haven't looked at laws in a long time. I think a dagger blade is a no go in all situations in NY?
