Auto knives

[theGinsue]

Everyone please keep in mind that these are NOT legal in CO and won't be legal until August 9, 2017. If you plan to acquire one before that date you need to keep that to yourselves.

Wasn't trying to stiffle the conversation on auto knives, just advising everyone be smart about posting anything you may acquire before the Aug 9 change in the law.

When I can go to a local shop and fondle them I'll be buying one. Until then I'll just research and see what I might want.

I have a Ganzo auto that I found on eBay. Surprised with the quality of build & durability. Not bad for a sub $25 knife!

They are NOT legal to buy yet. So, its doubtfull many legit places have them for sale locally. Read the thread or article. August 9th, 2017 is the date you are looking for.

Everybody on the internet carries them though and probably always have.

I look at the statutes and I dont see where it says its OK to have them at home. I know that is the common belief, and I really dont care if you have a tank at home, I just cant see the legality in the text. Show me..

18-12-102. Possessing a dangerous or illegal weapon – affirmative defense

(1) As used in this section, the term “dangerous weapon” means a firearm silencer, machine gun, short shotgun, short rifle, or ballistic knife.

(2) As used in this section, the term “illegal weapon” means a blackjack, gas gun, metallic knuckles, gravity knife, or switchblade knife.

(3) A person who knowingly possesses a dangerous weapon commits a class 5 felony. Each subsequent violation of this subsection (3) by the same person shall be a class 4 felony.

(4) A person who knowingly possesses an illegal weapon commits a class 1 misdemeanor.

(e) “Gravity knife” means any knife that has a blade released from the handle or sheath thereof by the force of gravity or the application of centrifugal force.

(j) “Switchblade knife” means any knife, the blade of which opens automatically by hand pressure applied to a button, spring, or other device in its handle.

They have always been legal to collect. Legally, possession =/= buying or collecting. You need need a law permitting you to do something that is not illegal.

Someone I had dinner with last night brought their microtech. First firing and it malfunctioned, I was not impressed. I was able to fix it and it was fine all night. I will like my assisted ZT

Got a microtech on a trade a long time ago and did not like it. OTF in general is a flimsy design.

Will they ship an auto opener without requiring documentation of the buyer being LEO ?

Some won't, but a lot of companies will.

Getting close to August 9th.

Been looking at a bunch of autos on the internet lately. I don't need another knife but a nice auto might be nice for these arthritic hands.

[ray1970]

I'm getting one. No real reason other than I can. So I figure why not.

Sorry. Never saw this post.

Anyhow, still not sure what I want. I do knowing I am not looking at any of the OTF styles. Too bad as I see there are several for sale in the trading post already.
