Do You Own a Switchblade Knife?

If no, then skip this content; it’s not for you. But if yes or else if it’s something you are going to have in near future, then go through this. It may help you sooner or later. 

One of the recent news that caught my eyes is the arrest of a 14 year old for possessing metal knuckles and switchblade knives. 

Knife is not merely something that is used for cutting or chopping of fruits, veggies and pork in the kitchen. There are hundreds of variants of a knife each of these having different function. It is neither easy to demark the functionality of each of the variants nor is it easy to track and judge each of the crime caused by it. Therefore, these edgy groups are jumbled up with a number of state, local and federal laws. 

When we talk about a switch blade knife, which is one of the most coveted possessions of people nowadays; there are a number of laws related to its possession which is not known to the owners. Owing to its extreme sharp edges, easy functionality and portable features it is widely popular in the market. Be it in the kitchen or else in the garage or even in a lady’s purse for security purpose, switchblades have a great usability than the conventional knives. Moreover since they are always encased, they do not rust easily and thus have a better longevity. 

Coming to the legal status of switch blade knives; different countries have different restrictions on its possession. Under the Federal Switchblade Act 1958, they can’t be imported from another state. However this law provides relaxation to individuals working in military forces and law enforcement. It also provides exemption to people working with arms and ammunitions. Other stringencies include, possession below 18 years of age is punishable, and using it in a threatening way and dealing with any of the banned knives can put you behind bars. For a complete list of banned knives, you can seek the help of internet. A simple search over Google can help you. You can even take the help of your local police station in this regard. 

One of the most genuine ways to avoid all these law related issues it to buy knives from authenticate stores. Though it will take a great deal for finding the best one, but don’t you think spending a bit of more time is better than going behind the bars?
