[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 2274159, member: 229"] That only applies to: dagger, bowie knife, dirk knife, switchblade knife, spring-type knife, sword cane, knife having a blade which opens automatically by hand pressure applied to a button, spring, or other device in the handle of the knife, blackjack, loaded cane, billy, hand chain, metal knuckles, or any other offensive weapon, whether such weapon be concealed or unconcealed But your right, the culture is what defines pocket-knives for us here in OK as something other than an "offensive weapon". There is little else in the way of laws to do so. Sorry, I missed this back when you first posted, but it has been discussed at length here (do a search on "assisted knives illegal" for more info). Essentially it's sloppy legislation that is vague with the words "Spring-type knife" in there that is left open to too much interpretation. Good news, however - On November 1st, House Bill 2170 will remove "Spring-type knife" from that list to clarify, but essentially an assisted knife doesn't open via hand pressure applied to a button, spring or other device [B]in the handle of the knife[/B] as most still require you to use the flipper or thumb-stud (both are a part of the blade tang or spine and not the handle) so it will be a perfectly legal knife (even to the letter of the still-poorly-worded law).
