Automatic knives?
Hey guys, I just became a Colorado resident. Came from Arizona where I have been carrying my Benchmade AFO II everyday for a while now. Just wondering if automatic knives are frowned upon in CO? Also does if change the fact if I purchased the knife as an AZ resident? Thanks for the info if anyone is looking for a good knife I recommend the AFO II!

To the best of my knowledge you can own it but not carry it. I understand that makes no sense but I believe that's the way it is.
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.
Assisted opening knives are a gray area. Switchblades and fully automatic stilettos are clearly illegal under state law.
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.
(5) It shall be an affirmative defense to the charge of possessing a dangerous weapon, or to the charge of possessing an illegal weapon, that the person so accused was a peace officer or member of the armed forces of the United States or Colorado National Guard acting in the lawful discharge of his duties, or that said person has a valid permit and license for possession of such weapon.

I have a friend that is trying to sell a benchmade infidel otf.Originally Posted by TFOGGER
Is it legal to sell?
If it opens with the push of a button, under CRS 18-12-102, it would only be legal to sell to a sworn LEO, or a member of the Armed forces. Technically, possession by anyone not falling into the above categories is a Class 1 misdemeanor.
from the definitions section:(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.

Well the thing that confuses me is the style of knife I carry is a push button automatic side folding knife, unlike the stiletto automatic that comes out topside which i know are a no go. I'll keep doin the research but if anyone knows for sure please let me know! Thanks again
TFogger answered your question and provided the state statute.
“Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.” Andrew Jackson
A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
Yeah, i posted my reply before I expanded my webpage my mistake.
That AFO is way too big to carry in your pocket! The 9100sbk auto stryker is much better :-)

After carrying the AFO for a few days you don't even notice its there. Plus, the sbk is uglier than sin.
