Auto knives

[hurley842002]

Bumping this up, been looking close at the Kershaw launch 4 as my first auto, it's unusually small, but seems really pocket able and CA compliant is handy for the times I'm out there. I really like the blade profile and handle shape (probably my favorite style), and if Kershaw would make a larger version, in a 2.75-3" blade length, I'd be all over it, as it would be a good alternative to the Benchmade 3551 Stimulus that I've wanted for a long time, but can't seem to dish out the $$ for. Anyone have one of these mini's they can comment on?

No Auto knife is CA compliant

No Auto knife is CA compliant

Stated in Penal Code 17235 and Penal Code 21510, California has strict laws regulating the sale and possession of switchblades.
Specifically, if a switchblade has a blade two inches or more in length, it is a crime to:

Possess the knife in the passenger's or driver's area of any motor vehicle in any public place or place open to the public,

Carry the switchblade upon your person, or

Sell, offer or expose for sale, or loan, transfer, or give the knife to anyone else.1


California law specifies 2" or more as the cut off, hence why the 1.9" Kershaw is legal for carry in CA.
