Pointless knives can still be used for slashing.

My Schrade OTF knife has no button but a pusher on the rear of the blade to get it started moving out the front.

Resurrecting this thread out of interest in the topic.  I was just at the Lincoln Scheels and they sell OTF knives.  They said that they are legal in Lincoln so long as the blade extends with the push of a button, but does not also retract automatically.  (They showed me how their S&W versions there require a convoluted process to close the blade of pressing in on one button while bulling back on another.)  They said outside the city limits at DE Guns, you can buy the version that extends and retracts automatically.

Interesting.   Sounds a little odd to me, but they're a big and well-managed organization from what I can tell.  I can't imagine they'd sell them if they hadn't received a legal opinion.

I will say, if I bought one there I'd be sure to keep the receipt and perhaps pass on a little blame, just in case I'd been given bad advice.

Come to think of it, I gave that Boeker away years ago.    I had forgotten about that.
