I have seen this question brought up before, but never really answered.
I know that any ring knives or knuckle knives are generally considered illegal in Calif., but the topic of Kerambits and California seems to be one that gets skipped over. Thoughts? Thanks.
 
Well I have seen karambits for sale in stores. So I assume if all these stores are allowed to sell them, then they must be legal. That's my guess.
 
I have heard that Ti-Bots would be considered knucks. So act I would act like that it is not a weapon but a bottle opener.

Maybe the law just hasn't caught on yet. Not to be argumentative, but I thought the law was no knives with any rings...... :confused:
 
You've been here a while Walking Man. I am sure you know the Knife Law forum exists.

Karambits are legal in California. You can do a search in the Knife Law forum to find out why.
 
They might be legal , although I can just see the look on most cops faces as they wonder why your carrying such a 'WMD' in the first place.
Not to mention that if you had to use one to defend yourself , and it somehow went to trial , what do you think the prosecutor is going to make of the case when he/she get thier slimy paws on your defense tool....
Kerambits are growing on me but , in todays' sickening PC world one has to be thoughful about what they carry and where.
Seriously big city Commiefornia has turned into huge nests of drooling sheep.

I did a search and I have not yet found a suitable reason that goes against current Calif. law so that these are legal.
Read this:
(7) As used in this section, "metal knuckles" means any device
or instrument made wholly or partially of metal which is worn for
purposes of offense or defense in or on the hand and which either
protects the wearer's hand while striking a blow or increases the
force of impact from the blow or injury to the individual receiving
the blow. The metal contained in the device may help support the
hand or fist, provide a shield to protect it, or consist of
projections or studs which would contact the individual receiving a
blow.
 
So,./......
Doesn't anyone have anything to comment on this?
What about a thread to an old link that I cannot find!
Thank you.
