[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1599875, member: 229"] Actually, it was a Kershaw assisted-opener if I remember right, but the officers claimed it was an "automatic opening knife". That's the problem is that the law is subject to what the LEO who happens to stop you actually knows about said law. If they take your knife (even if its assisted and not "auto by definition", the onus is on you to get it back (and if you think its easy to get back something that has been confiscated, its not). That "blurry line" of opening by a switch/button vs a flipper (which we all know to be a part of the blade's tang, making it like a thumb-stud, hole, or thumbnail slot), is still blurry enough that it makes me leave my assisted knives at home a lot more than my non-assisted just to be safe. I still don't use a folding knife for self-defense, as a small fixed-blade is much easier to deploy and readily available for use in such a situation, but I typically carry a folder for utility.
