Piece of advice
This was not addressed in DPS's Change of law update for Sept 1st. Alot of Agencies and officers do not know about this. DPS's website still shows 46.05 to include switchblades and butterflies.

What is your advice?

Got my little Boker today. Kalashnikov Mini, silver blade, black handle w/clip. Not expensive but seems OK for an actual "pocket" knife use.

 

[Jakashh]

^makes me wish I had gone with satin blade. Looks awesome!

Just picked up this limited addition dagger blade AK74.. click the pic

The nice thing about the Boker is that you get to take pictures with your Benjamins instead of spending them on knives

I bought a couple of the Bokers when I bought the Lightning and I definitely like them for the price. It's hard to find inexpensive auto knives that aren't junk when they really shouldn't be any more expensive than an assisted opener.

 

[Jakashh]

Would have gone limited edition but at the time people here were saying the dagger point was illegal to carry still, despite the unsharpened edge.

Why? Its only sharpened on one edge.

 

[Jakashh]

Yep, I am aware. I was wondering the same, but the answers were mixed

I'm pretty sure in FL we can carry anything with a concealed carry..I'm not about to decipher FL's knife laws, since they are so vague as to defy logic....however...With a CWFL, you can pretty much conceal any 'weapon' you like (as defined by the statutes).

Question about the Boker autos: how is the quality and durability, given the low price point? I'm used to spending quite a bit more on my knives, and have had a Benchmade 3550 for years, so I'm really curious and have no experience with Boker.

I think they're great for the money.. I bought a second one..

 

[M. Sage]

Well, it wasn't the Benchmade 42 I was drooling over, but I got a Bear OPS Bear Song IV. It's a pretty basic balisong, but pretty well-made IMO.

The blade is sharp! Of course... it's a knife.

Totally impractical, but fun to play with. I've got three openings down pretty solid in the 24 hours I've had it. And almost a dozen cuts.

I'd love to carry an auto but I think it's still illegal in San Antonio. Can anyone confirm?

 

[Charlie]

Well, yes and no. It's legal in Texas but S.A. has an ordinance against it. Which it can't have, but it does.

 

[matefrio]

Well, yes and no. It's legal in Texas but S.A. has an ordinance against it. Which it can't have, but it does.

No state wide preemption for knives. They can have the law.

 

[Charlie]

You are correct Matefrio. Cities can pass any ordinance they want, legal or not.

 

[Bithabus]

You are correct Matefrio. Cities can pass any ordinance they want, legal or not.

He's saying the knife ordinance is enforceable, in contrast to the anti-gun ordinances.

Here's my celebratory purchase in honour of the repeal of a dumb law:

A Protech 'Les George' prototype Rockeye auto.

Just arrived today so hardly well tested yet BUT I will say it's certainly the sharpest (out of the box) production knife I've ever bought!
