Read this blog before buying switchblade knives – Mens Personal Effects


Switchblade knives have been there in the news for a while for all the reasons. Though more and more states are legalizing automatic knives, it is becoming important to know something before you buy one.


1.      Does the Federal Switchblade Act ban the transport of the knife? It only applies to interstate commerce and commercially selling automatic knives across state lines. It does not prohibit crossing state lines with an automatic knife and does not prohibit traveling by air in your checked baggage.

2.      Is it legal to ship automatic knives through the mail? Shipping gravity knives, balisongs, shipping autos are illegal with the U.S. Post Office is generally illegal with some exceptions. It is advised to use only FedEx or UPS to ship such knives.

Keep in mind to never ship an
automatic knife using the U.S. Postal service as the federal law prohibits the shipment of injurious or harmful objects. The penalty for breaking the law is a fine or imprisonment. However, there is no federal restriction on shipment of automatic knives via common carrier.

3.      Can a city or county ban automatic knives? They could limit the ban and there are states where they are legal but the political sub-divisions provide some limit on the specific type of knives.

Above all are the things regarding switchblade knives’ law that you must consider before buying one. Mens Personal Effects provides a wide range of knives at an affordable price so make sure to check it out!
