butterfly's are for show i think. automatic knives are illegal in almost every state now, irrespective of what the link above says. the link itself is dated as of 1998.
illegality still doesnt stop me from carrying them. i have a halo III and an auto-boker. i either carry one or the other. they clearly are for utilitarian use rather than defense. opening packages, envelopes, cutting cigar ends, as many of you may know, once you carry a knife, you seem to find ways to use it that make your life easier.
it's all about keeping the "auto" part of the knife a secret. i certainly don't walk down the street popping the blade in and out, and i am careful about who is around when i do use it.
it appears that the reason for making these guns illegal dates back to the 1950's when kids with knives were thought of as a growing epidemic and the interstate selling of these "gravity" knives was banned.
the larger states lock-stepped and classified the auto-gravity knives as a weapon. leaving each state to define a certain length of knife that can be concealed.
ok then
