Gray area doesn't necessarily mean definitive black or white. It's got both sides of the argument here which is why it is obviously a very controversial knife. I'm not sure if you've taken the time...
The thumbstud is attached to the blade. The tang of the blade is part of the blade. So I was incorrect that it is attached to the blade, technically it's considered part of the blade.
Do you not...
If I could have just three and a half minutes of your time.

Considering it. Unfortunately not every cop is very well educated in the difference between spring assist and switchblade. When i called in the officer i spoke to seemed to know enough about how the...
As I've said, I've called my local sheriff's office and explained to them that the tip striker on the spine is attached to the blade not conflicting with CA state law.
In the last 5 or so posts in...
Have you provided any cases where this specific knife was deemed illegal?
I don't think you'll be able to because these knives are reviewed very meticulously before they are put into production...
As you said, law, not logic, governs the legality of this knife.
I'm clearly not stating that a button is a thumbstud, you should know it is not in any way attached directly to the blade, so that...
As you say, some parts of the law are very "vague" or not well enough defined.
""Switchblade knife" does not include a knife that opens with one hand utilizing thumb pressure applied solely to the...

The lever is attached to the blade just as much as the thumbstud is attached to the blade. Making it another thumbstud. There is a hole drilled through the knife, and the thumbstud is attached. There...
Thank you for clarifying that. I tend to carry knives with the pocket clip visible in the folded/closed position, this one I intend to use the safety as well.
Thank you guys for all your your time...
Have you really not heard of Smith and Wesson? They're known for manufacturing firearms more than knives, but they've made a good name for themselves with the knives they make.
The M.A.G.I.C....
Thanks again for your time on this matter.
I've actually learned some new information.
I've previously called the local sheriff's office and they tell me that as long as the knife is classified...
No button is used. Pressure must be applied directly to the blade, and the blade must be manually pushed forward by your own force for the blade to open.
Thank you for your input.
This is a spring assisted knife, but the spring assist does not open the blade. Also if the blade is interrupted while being opened, it does not continue to force itself...
The lever is not located on the handle, it's located on the spine. It is a separate pivot lever, touching the blade directly.
It pushes the blade forward in range of the assisted opening...
I was thinking of purchasing a knife with a spring assist open mechanism. I've researched quite a bit on as many sites as i can. This is for the state of California.
This is the knife I'm...
I was ticketed a while ago for riding a pocket bike with no M license, the codes were as listed:

My question involves search and seizure law in the State of: California (CA)
I have a friend who was attending high school classes at a college campus. I've heard multiple things about the search...
Wow ok.
This is all interesting to me. Another one of the reasons I'm likely to pursue a career in forensics or legal studies.
As much as I don't like the fact that this whole thing happened, i...
Woah.
I doubt she's willing to protect him in any way.
But if she doesn't show up to testify, she can be charged/sentenced?
I highly doubt that will happen. But once this whole thing gets...
Yeah when i read the 244 i was like woah. I don't think that happened.
So it's most likely the 244.5.
What's likely to happen if he's charged?
Also, if the female doesn't cooperate or...
OK maybe i heard it wrong. It's probably 240.
Is there even a 244 PC?
Nevermind. I think it was 244.5. Sounds like what it would be.
244.5. (a) As used in this section, "stun gun" means...
Ok i got the section code, it's 244 i believe.
That's assault, correct?
I'm a little confused right now.
According to the police report there was physical contact. I know in some county's...
Ok thank you for that.
/sigh of relief.
She said she went to the ER and all this stuff which i find hard to believe, but nonetheless i wanted to make sure what, if anything, could result from...
