Meh.....switchblades and assisted openers are a bit over-rated IMHO, once I learned how to properly deploy an Emerson Waved knife, it is much faster than the above mentioned DEATH instruments.

+1 on Emerson's Wave!!
As for more dumb edged weapons laws in IN, what about the fact that "throwing stars" are illegal? I can legally own a short barreled, suppressed, machine gun, but not a friggin throwing star? That is just stupid.
In indiana you can legally carry a switch blade if you only have one arm.

Psh. All you criminals and your dangerous weapons. I have no switchblades, throwing stars, or brass knuckles.
Only letter openers, necklace pendants, and paperweights for me.
Wow! Holy resurrected threads!
IC 35-47-5-2
Knife with blade that opens automatically or may be propelled
Sec. 2. It is a Class B misdemeanor for a person to manufacture, possess, display, offer, sell, lend, give away, or purchase any knife with a blade that:
(1) opens automatically; or
(2) may be propelled;
by hand pressure applied to a button, device containing gas, spring, or other device in the handle of the knife.
As added by P.L.311-1983, SEC.32. Amended by P.L.70-2000, SEC.2.
I'm not sure I can see the exception in the statute for handicapped people. Do you have a link to something other than this?

Seeing how the Kershaw is opened by a part of the BLADE this does not apply to them. I just bought one tonight for my daughter. It is the Leek.
