@@the404error7 The laws in the USA is rather interesting. You can own any of these in all 50 states, as far as I understand it, but you just can't have it on you outside of your home. In some states you can't purchase it, but nothing is barring you from owning it. In some states they find workarounds by calling it something else. Like brass knuckles they use it as a lamp so you can legally buy it but at home by using it as a brass knuckle, there's nothing illegal about it.

@@the404error7I read Cali laws and it simply says you cannot conceal carry certain type of knives. Nothing about ownership being prohibited. In NY, you're right there are clauses about being in possession of certain knives but keep in mind this means on your person. In Cali, for example, you can't conceal carry the knife, but nothing against open carry of the knife so long as it is visible. In NY, you can't do either open or conceal carry. Just merely "possession" of it on your person means you get a criminal charge. Nothing prohibits you from having these knives in your home such as a letter opener that you keep in your pen box. Keep in mind no one here is a lawyer, so perhaps it is best to consult one. It sounds like overall having a switchblade in NY is a bad idea but it is perfectly fine if you keep it in your home and not on your body while out and about.

I prefer the bolster lock over the lever lock. On a bolster lock you just push the button and bam! You're ready to rock! It takes some very deliberate action to slide the bolster out of the way to unlock the blade. With the lever lock you need to pull the lever, depress it then flip it back up to prevent it from accidentally closing on your fingers. Any auto with a release mechanism that protrudes like a lever lock or a non recessed button lock is a potential guillotine for your fingers in my opinion.
