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 open as switchblades do. It can't be 'flicked' open, and is locked closed until you apply pressure to the blade. There is also a safety slide switch that keeps the blade locked closed until the safety is released.
The knife can't be opened by the spring in any way unless you open the blade yourself.
Also, as sort of a side note here, I believe knives with pocket clips are not considered concealed as long as the pocket clip is visible. Is that true?
