I have a couple automatic knives I’m thinking of selling off but want to make sure I’m not going to break any laws. It seems they are legal in a lot of states but the Federal Law seems more murky. Can I only sell to someone in my state or someone who is military or LE out of state?

Each state has its own laws regarding auto knives. Buyers should know their own state laws. Do a search for a map with legal states. Ya got any OTF for sale??

It is illegal to ship automatic knives through the post office.  Other than that you don't really have anything to worry about.

Is USPS the only restriction on carriers?

That’s not correct. It’s illegal to ship an automatic knife to a state that prohibits them via USPS. It isn’t illegal to ship them to legal states You need a Postmaster exemption though.

Yeah Gerber lost me as a customer because they refuse to work on automatic knives owned by “civilians”.   They make you fill out a waiver saying you’re a cop or active military. So my apple gate covert auto has a bent belt clip and wobbles like a cheap AK mag at full lock up.

So if you’re selling a Microtech let me know!
