Hi,
Coudn't decide where to post this,I have read on here about questions on knuck knives so here it is.
I was set up Sunday at an outdoor bike show in Mass.with a few knives.2 police come over and start playing with a Italy lockback that looks like an auto.I told them it wasn't an auto and they gave me some sort of reply about just checking.They then proceded to look at all the knives and bayonets I had on display.One of the police saw a Wyoming Skinner knife I had out.He says that is illegal here in Mass.I said what's that (not thinking he was pointing towad the Wyoming Knife) and he pointed to the Wyoming Knife.I was being polite and they where also.I asked why is that and the police said because it has 2 finger holes and is considered a knuck knife in Mass. So I did as he said and took it and put away.
I was a bit surprised at this and asked if any knife with even one finger hole was a knuck knife and he replied yes any knife with a hole for a finger is a knuck knife.So I would say don't carry a karambit in Mass. I started thinking if the bow's people tie on there Busse knives here would also be a no-no but I wanted to end our conversation and didn't bother to ask.
About an hour later 2 more police in plain clothes came over and started asking some of the same type of questions.I replied to there questions and that was it.What a shame the world is getting to with rules and laws like these.
Take Care,
Pete
