Seriously, I hate this blade forum . . .

The proper number of knives to own is
N+1
"N" being the number you currently own.
If you think it is "bad" now, just wait until you enter the world of Traditional knives. :)
(WHEN you do (there is no "if") just remember that Rough Rider will allow you to try out all the patterns that interest you, without bankrupting the bank. As an added plus, their traditionals are daRn good knives.)

Low_rez Low_rez generally they don't arrest you for having it before passing through security and he took it and was kind enough to hold it instead of outright confiscate it. I have never been through a security that didn't give you the opportunity to go place the knife in your vehicle. I could image something happening if the knife were not legal to carry at all that would be another matter.

It was not legal to carry.
 
When I joined BladeForums just over seven years ago, I owned two knives. Now I own well over a hundred. There's a message there somewhere.
 
How is a Small Insingo Sebenza not legal to carry even in NYC other than the old "gravity" knife BS they like to throw at otherwise law abiding citizens? I don't know NYC laws but the primary characteristics I have seen outlawed have been blade length, opening mechanisms, and locking mechanisms. Of those 3 I can see where in NYC the opening could be stretched into their banned gravity knives but that is BS and not really illegal. I thought NYC had a 3" or 4" blade length limit and from what I know of the small Sebenza they are under 3". I don't know of any bans to locking mechanisms in NYC ruling that out so please help me understand why the knife was illegal to carry.

The NYC laws are antiquated and contradictory on purpose so that almost any knife is illegal. You are correct on the length however, Any locking knife is illegal. "Gravity" knives now apply to flippers or any knife that can be opened with a flick of centrifugal force. So Legally, I am better off carrying a fixed sub 3".

It's as plain and simple as this, let your money buy you happiness.
Question is, how happy do you want to be?
Or how happy can you afford to be?
