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.

Thanked: 586As 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:
