Flatlands, just clear of the nuclear blast

The newest addition to my OTF knife collection for use while out of doors is from TAKCOM.​

Got the Nighthawk V2 DE, as I prefer my Auto knives with the switch on the face of the handle for Ambi use and don't like having a glass breaker stud on the end of the handle.
I've paid a lot more for knives of the same quality.

​

Hunting, Fishing, and Fur Trapping – Automatic Knives​

§ 265.20 provides that the “switchblade” restrictions contained in § 265.01 shall not apply to:

Possession of a switchblade for use while hunting, trapping or fishing by a person carrying a valid license issued to him pursuant to § 11-0713 of the environmental conservation law.

Accordingly, those holding the appropriate license may acquire and carry an automatic knife “for use while” engaged in the licensed activity.

Here is my knife collection. I forged the one underneth the karambits.

The only one i dare carry in NYS is the assist one on the bottom of the first column. I think I would be OK carrying the first and third in the first column in NYS as it complies with the length.

When in PA, all the rest are fair game, I usually carry the top Gerber.

Few years back I bought several Buck 110's and 112's that were made by Buck as automatics, they were very nice "hunting knives" sold them all.
I'm always "going hunting" later on...how much later is subjective.

Is why when ever stopped and possessing, that it be noted when questioned that it is NOT for protection or defense! That you open boxes all day! Possibly wrist problems from repetitive motion, lol!

Even if retired, that I open envelopes all day from drug companies and national health plans o_O

Hahahahaha

The so called "license" provision would easily be challenged, because the license is not for the activity of possessing the auto. Do licenses list the poles used in fishing? Bait or lures? Is an arbitrary extension... But that's another argument, lol.

Have a great day :)

Was in the shop last summer, some decent people working there, one guy, clearly born and bred, was kind of a dick, and not at all happy about helping a "yank" however, that store is really a destination, blade store candy land. Only thing they didnt carry was Helle or Casstrom. Two brands I was most interested in

My helpful brother is now in Germany with his wife and 3 young daughters for a xmas vacation. The first thing I came up with was visiting the Boker Knife Company and buying a case of goodies. He shot me down , saying they are only travelling with carry-ons so it's a no go. I mentioned they would never search his cute twin daughters. Now he won't return any text messages.

There's a few words I'd bug him for such as Steiner, Schmidt & Bender, Ziess, Swarovsky,...

Major score today!
Somebody from work was begging me to come straighten out his pc. Told him I'm really busy lately and don't have time.

Finally broke down and said ok.
Finished up after about a half hour, he said thanks, this is for you.

He doesn't even know where it came from. I first thought it was a cheap Chinese otf, and said no thanks- Until...

I deployed the blade, and it felt really nice. Blade sharp as fuck (dagger too)
Closer inspection, It's a benchmade! Thanked him for it, and went on my way. Didn't have the heart to tell him what it's worth.
