I live in PA(Williamsport) and the laws here are so vague that I cant even tell if the Kershaw Leek I just got(off ebay not a local sale) is legal or not....and if its not since the knife is so nice is there any way to make it legal..by removing or disabling the spring I was thinking without ruining the knife? if I had known that getting this knife was gonna be like this id probably have just went with one that would not have caused so much headache over if its legal or not...
