Suggest a folding, 4" blade daily user

Pilot- Thanks for the correction. You are right--3.5 is the limit for a "concealed" knife in CO. I guess having it clipped to your waistband is "concealed," but I'm not really sure. I bet they made the law before clips on knives got popular...just a guess.

Well I was shocked when I found out there was a 3.5 inch blade limit in the wild west of CO (coming from PA as I did). Even with a CCW, half my knives are illegal to carry concealed here including my BM 710 which now sits at home more than it should due to its blade length. The law is written that "gravity" and "knives that can be opened with centrifugal force" are also illegal. I guess this means all axis lock knives. I think the law is a joke, but its still the law and I will follow it.
 
I appreciate everyone's help. I gave my friend the link to this thread it should be all he needs to make a decision.

Aloha,
DF

Hmm, How are axis lock made knives considered gravity opening?
(Other then the obvious Bali's:p )

Is this when the Axis is defeated and the knife is shook upside down and letting the blade fall out, if it is loose enough to do so?

Imho,i might point this out to a leo in a confiscating mood, and aswell aquire all the info needed to track my knives till recovery or destruction, that they were defeating the safety and using it in a improperly suggested method.

After writing that, i can see where a bent minded person could come to the consclusion of that, but where the hell does the AO sit here in this, i mean damn, you have to defeat the lock on a BM to consider it a Bad knife so to speak, and there are AO's, like my Kershaws that kinda make me nervous just owning them at home, because of thier transparent nature.

So now i am curious, do we all consider Axis equipped knives, Gravity opening?

Nah, they're even legal here in commie california.
My alternate choice would be the slightly shorter but beefier Al Mar SERE 2000.:thumbup:

I don't. Read my post a little more closely. The law states "gravity knives" and "knives that can be opened with centrifugal force". Don't know about you but that's how I open my Axis Lock knives.
 
The only Axis Lock I own is a Griptillian that opens with a thumb hole. Sure, you could flick it open, but no more than a Gerber Gator lockback or many other folding knives.

Regardless... Being a farmer, the F-I-L would probably appreciate something traditional with a natural material. The Buck 110 comes to mind.

Best Wishes,
Bob
