Hey all!
Due to state laws, a blade of less than 3” can go just about anywhere. What folder do you recommend?
What folder do you recommend?
I'd really recommend you look at Hogue knives then.1) Less than 3" blade IN ALL DIMENSIONS (in other words...a cop cannot move the ruler around and meet or exceed 3")
2) Manual open only
3) Ambidextrous pocket clip
4) Prefer AXIS lock or similar
5) Grippy grips
the damned law is getting in the way.
That isn't true unless you're in Baltimore City. State's Attorney already publically announced AOs are not switchblades. Are you in Maryland? That's where I am and I have a tons of accumulated research on the legalities of weapon carry here. There is no length restriction and anyone telling you otherwise obviously hasn't read the law, and there's already case law that a cop can be held liable for false arrest if they claim otherwise. If you're not in MD, I want to point out that no length law is universally accepted; some states use entirely different criteria for legality that can be applied to knives under 3".I reviewed the law again. Any spring assisted opening folding knife is HIGHLY LIKELY considered a "switchblade" and may not be carried in Maryland.
The Cryo is a good value, and a strong knife. Unfortunately, it can only be opened safely with the flipper. Also, it's somewhat slippery.Kershaw Cryo. Probably my absolute favorite small carry.
