I know the subject has been discussed but I would ask for info on .........Are 'automatic'/spring assisted knifes allowed and the length of blade or over all length ? Thanks !

Automatics are allowed. Blade length still 5 1/2" maximum. No overall length law that I know of.

IIRC there's also a restriction on blade shape. No stiletto shaped blades are allowed, or double sharpened. IE: no Italian switchblades(that's what I call them). Prohibited. But someone might need to verify that.

I thought I had read that they were going to try to get rid of the stiletto/double sharpened blade restrictions in the last session. I'm sorry that did not happen.

I think the Kershaw folks did some lobbying a few sessions back to get clarification that their popular "onion" knife was legal and not a switchblade.
