    One of my other passions is knife collecting, and I have found a knife I really like, the only problem is that it is an automatic knife and I can't order it unless I am either in the military or a police officer. The knife is the 9110 Rescue Auto Stryker made by benchmade. Here is a picture of the knife [​IMG]
    Does anyone know how I could get my hands on this knife? :dunno:

    Well I have a few knives at home.
    1- 5" blade camouflage butterfly knife
    1- 5" switch blade( I assume thats what you mean by automatic)......it pops open with a push of a button.
    8-kitcken knives :D

    The first two I smuggled intot he country. The Butterfly is too big to be legal and the switch blade is illegal b/c its a switch blade. I was on vacation for 2 months and I smugggled them in those big metal flashlights. :devil:

    How does customs feel now? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

    As for you.........I would try ebay? There are a lot of shady things on ebay.

    That knife looks like its for cutting bread. You should see my knives. I barely ever use the buttefly because me and everyone who used it almost cut off our fingers with it. :lol:

    SO so so so so so sharp its not even funny. And with butterfly knives you have to practice to get good so sometimes you try to show off to your friends and before you know it you are bleeding all over the floor. :(

    Memories.............

    where do you live that auto-openers are illegal?

    most states only have switchblades illegal

    having knife with a blade longer than your palm is illegal. The butterfly would have been too long to bring back to the country

    carrying a knife longer than your palm is often illegal

    Owning a knife longer than your palm is NOT illegal.......


    Must the same as Carrying a Pistol with out a permit is illegal but owning one in your home with out a permit is perfectly legal

    A person can't get one of these very easily, you have to be a dealer of some kind, a policeman, or in the military to get one. You can't get these in ANY state if you are just a regular joe shmoe.

    Did the knife come with the springs apart from the knife so you yourself could put it together? If they are sold that way then it is legal in some cases, I guess there is sometimes some grey area, but I know I can't get this particular knife without being a cop or in the military.

    again I think you mis-read the laws


    Under federal law a automatic knife can not be SHIPPED across state lines unless it is shipped to a dealer, cops, or military person....


    that does not mean it is illegal to own on unless you are one of those three

    federal laws most of them time only involve INTERSTATE commerce, not INTRASTATE commerce, so me buying a automatic knife from a local dealer would fall under the jurisdiction of my state laws, not federal laws...

    remember when the country was set up, it was set up with the states having the ultimate power, and the federal government was to protect the common interests of the states while allow the states to choose what those interests are, remember we are the united STATES of america.........
