Push knives illegal in MD?

[lemmdus]

When it comes to knives I pretty much carry what I want. I have a few straight hunting knives that I carry at different times as well as a boot knife. Its not like I am conceal carrying them but sometimes my jacket might be over it. I have never had a problem buying knives and people sell them on eBay and shipped to me no problem. Honestly though, they are more worried about us carrying firearms.

I have one of the Ka-Bar variations that was posted earlier as well as a Benchmade push dagger. The Ka-Bar lives in my vehicle but the Benchmade is similarly set up on my PC like you want to do.

I just bought a push knife earlier this year. Shipped to MD, no problem...

A Cold Steel 36ME Dropped Forged Push Knife, from a company called "Botach." It has a REALLY nice edge on it, and the price was reasonable.

You can always ante up cheap with a POS knife from BUDK.

I was going to get an EREE Tertiary to put on my chest rig behind my mag pushes as a last ditch sort of backup thing and the company us saying not able to ship to Maryland.

Is that illegal in Maryland? My knowledge of knife laws is pretty thin.

Any Automatic knife is legal to possess in MD. You cannot sell or offer for sale, any automatic knife in MD. You cannot carry any automatic knife concealed in Maryland. If you carry one openly, it must be for “utility” purposes and not for protection.

Hmmm... I’ve gotta see if this fits the “gift” my daughter’s godfather sent her. Push knife necklace.

You can carry an automatic knife concealed if you have a MD carry permit.

You can carry one, if you don't care about confiscation, and possible arrest/misery.

I'm going to anyway. False arrest. I can quote the law.

Pretty sure that blade qualifies as a double edge dagger. Aren't they illegal?

I meant your permit gives permission (may), while anyone can (ability).

I should be killed.

Not if you have a MD carry permit. They classify certain knives as "weapons" and the permit gives you the Crown's permission to carry a weapon. Mine is an OTS anyway, so single edge.

LOL. Gotcha. It's early and I'm only on my first Diet Coke.

I love my dagger.

I love my dagger.

LOL. Love the watch, too!

Yeah thanks. I wish I could have afforded the automatic. Reminds me I need a battery now.

I have very little knowledge on the state laws they change so fast. A friend was ordering certain knives online in his company's name. They would ship to a company but not to an individual. Doesn't make sense.

Don't the automatics use ETA movements? I bet you could get someone to swap it out if you wanted.

So make a quartz into an auto?

Anything that is a source of happiness is illegal in Maryland.

It's a throat/neck knife. That's all it does. You don't want to get in a knife fight with one of these. That's why the name "Tertiary". It's a last resort defensive weapon made for close in fighting.

This. I also saw a video recently that talked about quickly deploying such a knife if you somehow end up in a someone else's choke hold and are able to deploy it quickly into the bad guy's leg or other body part long enough to stop the choke and before the choke knocks you out. Yet another very unlikely scenario, but if you are really trying to cover all your bases...
