Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Is it legal for a 13 year old to carry a spring assisted folding and locking pocket knife in his pocket?
    My dad bought me (a 13 year old boy) a folding spring assisted pocket knife from a gun show. I need to know if it's legal for me to carry it around in my pocket (not to school, of course). It's a compact knife with a 2" locking blade.

    • ANSWER:

  2. QUESTION:
    Non-locking pocket knife?
    I am looking for a non-locking stainless steel pocket knife. My father is very traditional and hates pocket knives that lock once they are open. I want to buy him a new one because the one he has now is like 15 years old and really beat up, but he wont use it if it locks or if its not stainless steel. So far, all the shops around here sell ones that lock.. or the little cheap shops sell ones that dont but they are not stainless steel. Also, i have searched ebay, and amazon and its hard to tell if it locks or not. Is there a correct term for the ones that dont lock once open? Any help would be greatly appreciated, but please dont bother posting to tell me that non-locking knives are unsafe.

    • ANSWER:
      The type of knife you're looking for might be referred to as "friction folder" or "friction folding" knives, as the blade is held in place in the open position solely by friction of the hinge.

      You can find a few manufacturers by googling "friction folding knife"

      Not sure if that's what you're looking for, give the search term a google and see if the results are what you're looking for.

  3. QUESTION:
    Can i carry a folding locking knife in my back pocket in pickerington ohio? I am a responsable 15 yr old.?
    i just need it for simple tasks not really a weapon but i am 15 and own the knife legally. Also is this considered a concealed weapon? The blade is exactly 3.5 in.
    ok thanks guys i guess ill keep it inside lol

    • ANSWER:
      I couldn't find an age limit, but the knife is illegal to carry for almost anyone because it is both a locking knife and it is longer than 2.5 inches.

      See below in the sources for the actual text of the Ohio law.

  4. QUESTION:
    Is it legal to have a pocket knife in California?
    Are people able to have pocket knives that lock and are over 3 inches in California? I'm not talking about carrying it in the street. I'm just asking if I can have it in my home.

    • ANSWER:
      There is no general law regulating knives by length (some specific locations such as schools and public buildings have such regulations). A switchblade with a blade 2 or more inches in length is illegal to carry on your person or in a vehicle in a public place. (Pen C 653K.) A knife with a locking blade cannot legally be carried concealed on your person with the blade locked in place. (Pen C 12020.) That is the extent of state-wide regulation. There may be some applicable local ordinance.

  5. QUESTION:
    HOW DO I CLOSE MY LINER LOCK POCKET KNIFE?????????????????
    So, I got this pocket knife; it has a liner lock. Every time I want to close the knife, it takes me a really long time because I have to push at it really hard. Plus it hurts my finger, and I'm scared I'll get cut by the blade because I have to leave my finger on the lock, in order to pull it out of the way. Is this how you are suppose to close the knife? and is there a faster way?

    thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      There should be a bar that locks the blade in place that you need to push to the left with your thumb and the blade should come free. I have a Kershaw like this.

  6. QUESTION:
    what is the best value for a pocket knife?
    I'm looking at buying a new pocket knife. I would like a single blade folding knife that has a locking mechanism. I was looking at Gerber, but does anybody else know a better knife that I should look at?

    Links would be appreciated. Thanks!
