Time for Buck to make an otf

I like Microtechs as well.

There are plenty of OTF's available without Buck attempting to enter this limited market.The design and implementation of an OTF would require a major investment.

Pic is nice man! I disagree with you though, there are not alot of domestic options with maybe 4 companies making quality otfs. Then add the price tag, I love my Microtechs but heck they ain't cheap. Buck would do good to offer a mid priced option to the market sub 200 range.

Totally agree tooling cost to get into the game would be significant but to me it would be worth it for Buck to then be truly all in with the auto market. More and more states are being liberated so the auto market is only going to get bigger.

^ that's a myth. criminals wont spend many hundreds of dollars for switchblades or otfs to commit crimes with. even if they stole it theyd likely sell it to be able to buy more drugs or kitchen knives to use for crimes......

Popular myth, too........but that's not the "criminal" I'm talking about.

More like this:

And this:

Mayhem rather than profit.......and smart ass young thugs with no brains.

Is this the kind of stuff that a God-fearing family wants to sell?

Myth or not, it's what got the federal law enacted, in the 1950s, that prohibit the importation, or shipment across state lines, of auto knives.

O.B.

it is a myth.......and as long as folks keep believing myths, these laws wont change....

we have knife rights changing laws and breaking these myths state by state already....eventually the federal ones too......hopefully.
 
Jb is correct. There are people that have a perception of knives, guns or even chainsaws which any of these are only tools. Many of those perceptions were developed from watching movies and reading horror stories that are fiction. The fact is they are no more deadly than any other tool. Box cutters?

It’s the people who use them for the crimes they commit that are the problem not the tools. Sorry to drift off topic but misperceptions have resulted in some bad laws and regulations.

That is a very POOR reference! And i didnt even waste my time lookin at the links.
This knife is a tool just like any other knife and the manufacturer is not to blame for mis use!

Oh, I think the case can be made that a switchblade is NOT "just like any other knife."

It's different, and in a very special way.

That's pretty obvious and indisputable. That's why there are laws against them.

They are not knives of the outdoorsman, fisherman and hunter.

I don't like them. If you do, that's fine.

To each his own.

There is nothing inherently more dangerous about "Switchblades" than other knives. To think otherwise is foolish, and exactly how the idiotic laws become reality.
 
I often rely on a knife that I can open with one hand and at times this has been extremely important. I can't own an auto but I can certainly make a case for one. What I can own and do carry is just as fast. I don't think there is much difference

They’ve been legal in Michigan since 2017 as long as they aren’t double edged. As MaxCast said.

I have a friend that is Sargent for MI State Police and he has advised me that any non double edged otf knife, tho technically legal, could be viewed as a dirk or dagger in the eyes of a judge or prosecutor.....
So not advisable.
So based on his advise .....

Sort of a drag that the law can have so many grey areas.

Why would I want one with the auto that Buck makes?
Not trying to prove a point, just expressing the view points as given to me by law enforcement.

Thanks.

Edit.
I'm not trying to defend a law, or pass judgement on anything.
Just passing info as I hear it.

I think Buck could make a very enviable otf knife.

Dude it's fine if they are not for you, but you just said the most ignorant thing I've heard on the forum in a long time. Literally garbage information.

An otf was literally designed for outdoors military applications for pilots hung up after a crash. They were made to use and survive with. For some reason you look down on the design or the people that own them, but it makes zero sense to me why you'd justify it the way you are.

There are laws against a spring in a knife because of the same ignorant ideology of those at the time who created unethical laws based on fears of immigrant people.

I'm perfectly fine with your need to cut yourself down out of trees after your plane crashes.

Go for it. You have my total approval.

I, on the other hand, can open my 1970 Buck 110 with one hand. I'll stick with that. I like simple.
