A while back I posted two topics regarding the legality of conversion autos in the automatic knife forum. Apparently the procedure I was talking about was illegal, and nobody posted replies in either of those posts.
I just read an email that Phil sent to me a while back (I have multiple email accounts), in which he kindle explained the situation.
I know that auto knife fans have to be very careful about legalities and whatnot, but someone could have at least informed of of this fact.
I was not asking how to make a knife automatic, or where i could get instructions on performing an illegal procedure, I just wanted to know if converting a non-auto to an auto was legal. Nothing more.
I suppose the purpose of this post, besides publicly thanking Phil for taking the time to e-mail an answer to a question that a young and relatively un-knowledgable knife enthusiast had asked, is to pose this question: Why did he have to? Couldn't any of the rest of you just kindly post that converting a knife is illegal, and leave it at that?
