Defensive Knives & Other Weapons Most people that carry a gun also carry a knife or other weapon as a backup. Finding a good blade is often harder than finding a good pistol or revolver.

I want an automatic knife.

I've always wanted a switchblade, but I don't need anything real fancy or expensive. It probably will be more a 'toy' than anything else.

Any suggestions of where to look and what to look for

I know in Texas the best place is gun shows. From just a few bucks up to several hundred. In the 100 buck range you can find a pretty good variety.

Before you start shopping around, be very sure of your state laws regarding automatics knives...especially if you plan on carrying.

If you're looking for the old classic style (like what many of us "older guys" grew up with), do a Google search for Italian Stiletto. You'll find lots of options (like others have said, verify your State and local laws, both for carry and possession).

The State laws permit carry. I've got a couple I was looking at on line but I'm not sure what ones to go for. I'm thinking no more than $100 but hoping for less

the auto-knife forum on BladeForums.com should provide you with some good info. You might also check out their "exchange" area.

Move to FL...you can get a tan AND carry your 'auto'...with a CCW permit, of course!

Stay armed...with most weapons in FL (can't find a holster for a Claymore yet...stay safe!

FWIW......auto knives are one of those things where you really do get what you pay for. If it's just a toy, don't worry....have at it and have fun. If you're at all interested in carrying it in any kind of serious, useful capacity, please consider a top brand. Microtech, Protech, Spyderco (new this year), and Severtech are all pricey but worth the money IMHO.
