will my knives arrive?

[Jamey fishmonger]

I ordered this from blade hq , and it is half an inch above what is legal in NY (in terms of blade length), and i am worried about it actually arriving. This is my first time ordering from them, should I be worried.

i dont think there will be any issue, it may not be legal for you to carry outside your home, but im sure you can still own one

I've never ordered from BHQ, but I've never heard of any vendors refusing to ship non-automatic knives to locales based on local law. (Automatics are different, there is federal law that applies.)

If you live somewhere in the 5 boroughs, I'd carefully consider whether I wanted to carry a knife with a flipper. That is not legal, and the NYPD can be... mercurial, might be one way to put it, about that.

No, the knife faeries will intercept it and you will be left with a plastic spork in its stead

It’ll show up. No you shouldn’t be worried.

Nothing to worry about. BladeHQ doesn't care about state laws (don't ask me how I know, because I won't tell you ).

Let's just say I've ordered a few knives from BladeHQ, and was very pleasantly surprised that I received them here in California.

And it's not like New York, state or city, has it's own Customs Department that stops, opens, or x-rays all incoming mail.

I think you've just got a case of knife newbie anxiety.

Welcome to Bladeforums.

Don't worry, homie. You're getting your knife. Post pics when you do!

 

[Jamey fishmonger]

thanks everyone I will post photos when it gets here!!; in the past I've only bought Gerber and local hunting knife brands (upstate ny) , so I'm excited to branch out.

they're here, the bestech is nice and has smooth flipping with a good weight, but the smith and Wesson is too heavy doesn't flip open and is uncomfortable for tricks; both are very sharp though.

Maybe NY should be listed in GBU. I was born in NY but left in 1969 and haven't looked back. Come live in Texas where the knife you carry (or gun) is your business. Even CA lets you carry a knife with a 5.5 inch blade.

Enjoy that Bestech! You will find that Blade Forums is the best place in the world to learn about blades.

Keep it to NYC though lol, you should understand that the rest of the state is different than that area. Where I live you see people with knives on their belts year round and you still see gunracks in some back windows. Cops out here in the hill country don’t care about much unless you’re stirring the crap.

Jsega51 is absolutely correct. There aren't any length limits in most places. An overwhelming majority of New York is rural, and nobody cares what you're carrying. We just get s*** on by the people and politicians in urban areas.
