i am being charged with posession of a switchblade ca pc 653k
but the knife in question is the sog trident
it has 2 locking mechanisms and i am pretty sure that it is not a switchblade legally
i have heard that the kershaw assisted open knives are allowed under ca law so why would this knife be any different

ca knife laws, is the sog trident a switchblade?

Remember the original thumb assist to open a folding knife?

Years ago, there was a metal thumb opener that could be attached to the back of a blade on a folder knife like the Buck 110. It was a simple design made of a single piece of stainless and allowed the knife to be opened with one hand, like the knifes of today with a built in one. I am looking to one to put on my Schrade LB7 folder, any suggestions on a source? Thanks, God bless.

What type of steel will give me a super sharp knife blade? ?

I don’t want something that will rust if you leave a fingerprint on it(some do) but definitely a step or three above 440C, which is pretty good.

I also would like to know the best company to buy from that makes knives with that steel. I’m looking for a folding pocket knife, probably assisted opening.

Which is the best of these three? Th Buck knife has a “Molded Thermoplastic” handle. Is that as strong as stainless steel?
Here here are the links for the three knives:
