Assisted Opening Knife

(1/4) > >>

Greetings,

I was looking at a knife that has an assisted opening system.  The knife is a typical modern knife with the thumb stud used to open it, but it has a spring that helps to push the knife open once the motion is started.  I'm sure there are many names for this type of system, but my question is whether this would be considered a "switchblade" under Lincoln ordinance?

Thanks,
Fly

They sell them in Wal-Mart, all three locations.  That makes it pretty assured it is OK.    Hope so, as I use them.

My multi tool by SOG has two power assist blades.  It also opens to a pliers like a butterfly knife, so I am really asking for it.  lol

You still have to push it open. Assisted open isn't the same as auto-open.

OnTheFly:
Thanks all!
