I have a small collection of about 70 folding knives but I don't have an Italian style switch blade. I don't want to buy one of those 10.00 knives on Amazon. Does anyone know where I might find a decent quality knife for $100.00 or less? Owning,buying,selling and open carry are legal in Mo.

CRKT Lake's PAL Automatic Conversion (2.9" Satin Plain) 7233
I have one of these in regular configuration.
Didn't know there was a switcher model.
It's a kind of heavy duty, appears to be well made knife.

Now here's the knife you have to have, which I do. One cannot carry it legally yet in Oklahoma, which makes no sense when just as fast opening knifes can.


Title 21 O.S. § 1272. Unlawful carry

A. It shall be unlawful for any person to carry upon or about his or her person, or in a purse or other container belonging to the person, any pistol, revolver, shotgun or rifle whether loaded or unloaded or any dagger, bowie knife, dirk knife, switchblade knife, spring-type knife, sword cane, knife having a blade which opens automatically by hand pressure applied to a button, spring, or other device in the handle of the knife, blackjack, loaded cane, billy, hand chain, metal knuckles, or any other offensive weapon, whether such weapon be concealed or unconcealed, except ...

Oklahoma House Bill 2170 in 2013 removed "spring-type knives" from the list of prohibited weapons to carry, either on one's person or in purse or bags.
 
legelegel, I have no intention of carrying such a knife, it is legal to possess such a knife in Missouri, it is also legal to open carry such a knife. Mine would be in a collection.

BladeOps seems to be perpetually out of their Buck 110 springer.
I'm on their email list if they get them back in..
 
Switchblades became legal in Texas about 2 years ago. I've been carrying one ever since. A Boker AK-74 - they're under 50 bucks and very high quality.

I never saw an Italian stiletto worth over 300 dollars. That's just shocking! I have one with bone scales and I certainly wouldn't pay 300 for it and it's quite lovely.

I have a number of switchblades but I only EDC the Boker. You can spend a lot more money but why?

Next door in Arkansas, Kansas and Texas it is legal to carry a switch blade knife. In the other surrounding states that barely touch Oklahoma, that is Colorado, Missouri and New Mexico, it is illegal to carry a switch blade knife, also.

Penalties for Unlawful Carry of a Weapon in Oklahoma

A first conviction for the unlawful carry of a weapon is a misdemeanor and punishable by a fine of between one hundred dollars ($100) and two hundred fifty dollars ($250) and up to 30 days in jail. A second or subsequent conviction under the unlawful carry law carries a penalty of a fine between two hundred fifty dollars ($250) and five hundred dollars ($500) and between 30 days and 3 months in jail.

Legalegal:
I live in Arizona where these are legal and I have a few examples. One of my favorites is a "Magnum" made by Boker which is very similiar to the one in your video. I fished it out of a box of stuff at a garage sale and paid the magnificient sum of $1.00 for it. Apparently the owners didn't know what it was!

In Oklahoma a CCL does not cover otherwise illegal knives.

legelegel, that makes no sense. In the thing you quoted, it says that, along with being illegal to carry a switchblade (I noticed it said CARRY, not OWN) it is also illegal to carry a pistol.

Now, if the carry license negates that statute, and makes it legal to carry a pistol, why does it not make it legal to carry a switchblade?

I also noticed that you quoted it up to the word EXCEPT, and you stopped there.

21-1272.

>It shall be unlawful for any person to carry upon or about his or her person, or in a purse or other container belonging to the person, any pistol, revolver, shotgun or rifle whether loaded or unloaded or any dagger, bowie knife, dirk knife, switchblade knife, spring-type knife, sword cane, knife having a blade which opens automatically by hand pressure applied to a button, spring, or other device in the handle of the knife, blackjack, loaded cane, billy, hand chain, metal knuckles, or any other offensive weapon, whether such weapon be concealed or unconcealed, except this section shall not prohibit:

1. The proper use of guns and knives for hunting, fishing, educational or recreational purposes;

2. The carrying or use of weapons in a manner otherwise permitted by statute or authorized by the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act, Section 1290.1 et seq. of this title; or

3. The carrying, possession and use of any weapon by a peace officer in the performance of official duties and in compliance with the rules of the employing agency. Any person convicted of violating the foregoing provision shall be guilty of a misdemeanor punishable as provided in Section 1276 of this title.<

Doesn't exception #2, the "manner otherwise permitted by statute", mean a carry license?

I have that knife in black somewhere. I cannot seem to find it at the moment.

The Oklahoma Self-Defense Act authorizes the carry of certain caliber firearms. It does not authorize the carry of any knives that are illegal to carry in Oklahoma.
 
I'm currently reading the Oklahoma Self Defense Act. Dumb law. Glad I live in Florida. Better than "can't carry at all", but could be greatly improved.

If I wished to carry concealed (and I'd have to be as big as Lurch to do so) a .475 Wildey, that would be illegal. That 50 caliber 1911 they came out with a few years ago. Illegal. Heck, even a 50AE Desert Eagle - illegal.

>TITLE 21 § 1290. PROHIBITED AMMUNITION [FONT=&quot]
Any concealed or unconcealed handgun when carried in a manner authorized by the provisions of the Oklahoma Self - Defense Act and when loaded with any ammunition which is either a restricted bullet as defined by Section 1289.19 of th is title or is larger than .45 caliber or is otherwise prohibited by law shall be deemed a prohibited weapon for purposes of the Oklahoma Self - Defense Act.<
