My understanding is that theyhave always been legal to own. They can just not be on your person or really even leave the house.

What's a decent $50-$100 Switchblade? I really beat the shit out of my blades and don't want to destroy a $300 knife.

I found during my research that the price difference is all about who the maker is, the build quality, and last, the blade material.
Cheaper knifes come with 440 stainless blades. 440 is a softer material that will need constant sharping, and will chip easy. 154CM, D2, S30V steels drive the price up, but will keep an edge longer, and are more durable. IMO, the only 440 steel suitable for knife use is 440C, a steel Gerber likes to use. TMMV EDIT: link to steels explained Link More info |

Was going to order from bladehq.com but apparently there are federal regulations on shipping autos if your not leo or military. So I went looking for something local. Gun store nearby didn't have Microtechs, found a cool Benchmade, ended up paying more than it was online but who cares. |

View Quote I do believe that being caught with one on you, is still a CCW losing crime. So I really don't know if a person wants to admit they own one yet, because it is still a crime until Oct 10th. That said, if I owned an auto knife at the moment that was worth owning. It would be the Gerber. I would also own a Frank Beltrame stiletto from Italy. I also know for a fact that BladeHQ will ship auto knives to us. |

I was just looking at OTF blades, and sort of wondered if I could actually get one.
Looks like I need to get one, now. |

Any restriction on blade length. I missed it if it was mentioned in the legal lingo.

Is it true we can't carry a blade over 3 inches? The one I like the microtech ultratech t/e is over 3 inches (1) A person shall not, with intent to use the same unlawfully against the person of another, go armed with a pistol or other firearm, or a pneumatic gun, dagger, dirk, razor, stiletto, or knife having a blade over 3 inches in length, or any other dangerous or deadly weapon or instrument. |

Quoted:
MCL 750.226 states: So by state law, if you don't have intent to harm someone, you're clear. However, MI does not have preemption for knives. Therefore, each local jurisdiction can have their own laws regarding length. Some are 3", some are 4", etc. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

*Snip* My interpretation is that it is treated same as self-defense with pistol. As long as you aren't breaking any other laws I imagine there shouldn't be an issue. (1) A person shall not, with intent to use the same unlawfully against the person of another, go armed with a pistol or other firearm, or a pneumatic gun, dagger, dirk, razor, stiletto, or knife having a blade over 3 inches in length, or any other dangerous or deadly weapon or instrument. 750.227 Concealed weapons; carrying; penalty.
Sec. 227. (1) A person shall not carry a dagger, dirk, stiletto, a double-edged nonfolding stabbing instrument of any length, or any other dangerous weapon, except a hunting knife adapted and carried as such, concealed on or about his or her person, or whether concealed or otherwise in any vehicle operated or occupied by the person, except in his or her dwelling house, place of business or on other land possessed by the person. Accordingly, we today reaffirm the principles set forth in People v Vaines and hold that where a defendant is charged with carrying a "dangerous weapon" contrary to MCL 750.227; MSA 28.424, the burden is on the prosecution to prove that the instrument carried by the defendant is a dangerous weapon per se or that the instrument was used, or intended for use, as a weapon for bodily assault or defense. The fact that a pointed instrument, such as a machete, has great potential as a *223 dangerous weapon does not render it a dangerous weapon per se. Thus, in the instant case, mere proof that defendant knew that a machete could be used as a dangerous weapon does not support a conviction under MCL 750.227; MSA 28.424. |
