Gravity knives

[Ferahgo]

Are they legal to carry in WA?

They are not even legal to own, though any restriction the law places on knives kept within the home is more or less unenforceable.

Per the Revised Code of Washington 9.41.250, it is illegal to so much as possess a "spring blade knife." The recent updates to the law define this as:

"Spring blade knife" means any knife, including a prototype, model, or other sample, with a blade that is automatically released by a spring mechanism or other mechanical device, or any knife having a blade which opens, or falls, or is ejected into position by the force of gravity, or by an outward, downward, or centrifugal thrust or movement. A knife that contains a spring, detent, or other mechanism designed to create a bias toward closure of the blade and that requires physical exertion applied to the blade by hand, wrist, or arm to overcome the bias toward closure to assist in opening the knife is not a spring blade knife.

I may be wrong but if you have a ccl, can't you carry any weapon under 6ft in length or was that just someone pulling my leg?

I hear some billy goats trying to cross your bridge. You should go check.
