Benchmade also makes some extremely high quality automatics, though I have a feeling the police and a judge may 'disagree' with your interpretation of your state laws.
You may be better off with one of the 'spring assisted' knives which use a spring to assist the opening, but you still have to initiate the opening process via a thumb stud so there is no 'button' or 'switch' and are thus generally legal.
