Automatic Knife Disclaimer
Yes, automatic knifes are legal in most of the county. However, we will not ship automatic knifes to NY/NJ and any other state where they are illegal or regulated. The are no laws or definitions in Florida law regulating automatic knifes. In Florida a “common pocketknife” (blade of 4in or less) may be concealed by individuals not possessing a concealed weapons permit.
WARNING: Florida knife law is loosely written and leaves a potential for interpretation of what may or may not be considered a “common pocketknife”. We advise that individuals be aware that without a concealed weapons permit, possession of a serrated blade that opens with a push button, that is spring assisted or any combination of certain design features could be interoperated as that knife not being a “common pocketknife” and a violation of the law.
