Good post.
Here is the caveat...
"in the handle of the knife".. my "spring-assisted" blade that I carry has no button on the handle = not a switchblade....
no, but it has a spring IN the handle... typically in the form of a L shaped bar spring that sits in a hole in the blade. Are you "applying pressure to a spring" when you're pressing the thumb stud or carson opener on a kershaw or SOG trident? Yeahhhhhhhh, ya kind've are. Not saying i agree or would interperet that as the law....just commenting on how vaguely it's written. It's why i asked if there was case law further defining a "switchblade" in md.
