    A quick question for the knife experts:

    What s the line between assisted opening and unassisted opening?

    I believe "assisted" knives are illegal here in michigan while unassisted are not.

    As far as I know, assisted openers are the same as standard folders. Personally I think the AO's are very close to autos. Take for example the big black folding Hissatsu in my picture. That blade flies out and locks uo as solid as a fixed blade. It is called a "tactical folder". I have full automatic knives(switchblades) that are not nearly as threatening as that Hissatsu but the autos are illegal and the Hissatsu is legal.

    Here is a link to details of the knife carry laws for all 50 states:
