Which folder is most likely to get you sent to the pokey?

The answer is simple- just like Will Fennell said.
It's not the knife that's going to get you
in trouble, it's what you choose to do with said knife that's going to seal your fate.
Don't be an a** and you'll be fine. Even if the knife gets found on your person for whatever reason- if you are gentleman or lady about it, you'll have a much better chance of getting to go home with that knife.

I agree - if an officer asked to see my knife, I wouldn't look at him and say "You have no right looking at my knife - its completely legal!" Obviously the nicer you are, the better off you are.
I've never been questioned about my knives. Never done anything to cause a questioning. Still, I always have this fear that a police officer will come up to me and say "May I see your knife?" - especially since the answer 95% of the time has to be "Which one?"
I'm pretty sure that if I were carrying a Sifu, a Civilian, a Gunsite, and a Scimitar - all at the same time, then there could be trouble - even if they were legal. Thanx for all the replies!

Does the Ballistic Knife count as an auto?

Pretty sure that one'd get you locked up.... not that I've ever actually seen one, of course!

Does Steve Ryan have a web page?

Szaboinc RAD. Very scary knife.

You may think it's funny but wait till it's your turn.

PS- Although a wicked looking blade indeed, I've never noticed the sword sticking out of MY pocket.

Why, the Rambotron Ninja Deathmonger, of course....

Seriously though, like as been posted, attitude is most of it, I think.

But, then again, given a slow night, a police officer who wants a new knife, and your new tactical cutlery phenomenon, you could be seeing some time in a cell.

Small and unthreatening would be your best bet for staying off the radar.

POCKET HOBBIT!! Nasty. Although these Steve Ryan knives really got me thinking.
 
Marion, what were you thinking? The 9" double-barbed Rambotron Ninja Deathmonger (with blood grooves and laser sight) has never been offered in a folder version

If you're looking to get arrested, you need the double-edged, fully-serrated (both edges!), high-polish (so it gleams nicely) auto-Sifu, and make sure to wave it around menacingly when the officer asks if you know how fast you were going...

The most important thing is not to hide it from the cops. When they ask you if you have any drugs or weapons in the car no. But then say I do have my knives, Im a collector. Turn it over to them and you'll get by. Hide it from them and your done.
 
I got some looks when I had my buck strider on me. My LCC too, pretty much anything big heavy and pointy will get the sheeple on edge.

I was trying to find info on steve ryan awhile back. Any help would be great. All I could find was what looked like his whole catalog in another language, not very usefull. Thanks!
 
This may interest some of you. Pics that I have picked up while on the web.

My knives (a Big bowie style china special, a flick of the wrist Jaguar cheapo, and the DMT serrated sharpener) were confiscated from me by Naval Security Personnel when I left them out at the barracks. No arrest, no consequence. Just a warning...BUT...
if cops ask to search you, be nice and consent. They are just trying to do thier job, nothing personal. A great attitude goes far. NEVER OPEN A FOLDER WITH A FLICK OF THE WRIST, NEVER SAY YOUR KNIFE IS FOR SELF DEFENSE (CONSTITUTES A WEAPON). Be real nice and say you use it to cut yourself out of your seatbelt in a car wreck, or for your job. open it slowly and respectfully. and if the cop wants to keep it, let the cop keep it. besides, jail is a very overrated experience, and your roommates arent happy to be there if you find yourself in their living room. A fixed blade should NOT be concealed, and a good alibi is as good as gold.
 
The Scimitar looks even bigger than it really is....and nasty...and excessively sharp...and pointy...and looks like it is moving when it is sitting still....
 
Hi
as most times in this world, a clear answer is:
Oh that depends to .......

Last year i had to go to a Courthouse (witness in a traffic accident). Knowing of police there i wanted to go "light" and took only one knife, a Spy Endura 50/50.
Remember in Germany it is legal to carry EVERY knife concealed as long as its not a "switchblade/gravity/hidden".
I was searched by two cops, who took the Endura, until i left, then gave it back and congratulated me for having the largest knife, today. I was shocked and thaught: what little knifes must they see the whole day ???
The other day i met a cop i know from work and i showed him my new CRKT Bear Claw - -
hey i think if i was a stranger he had tried to arrest me, just because i had SUCH a knife. He really looked strange.
We are cool now again, but i think twice before showing a knife to anybody.

The granddaddy of knives to put you straight into the can would have to be a 13" Italian. Try talking your way out of that with a LEO.
