Actually most states have their anti-switchblade laws worded in a similar fashion.
The way the
spring assisted knife skates between the letters of the law is through the key words, being button or actuator
on the handle ..an assisted is fired from a thumb stud, quillion or flipper that is located on
the blade itself (also with no mechanical buttons).
Another way they skate by is that an assisted knife doesn't use a pre-compressed spring (as some states have it defined) instead they use a cam like action that loads and fires the blade at a certain point through the throw.
