If i was to carry a knife like a kershaw leek 1660 in New York just for protection would it be illegal? If so please explain why, also if you see the Kershaw Leek 1660 has a SpeedSafe manual-assisted i dont know if that is something that makes it illegal...Best answer gets 5 stars automatically
Here is a video of how it opens skip to 0:30 and it will show you both ways how to open
I would say no... Even though it says you can own them less than four inches a street cop may not be doing to much measuring.
"New York City has a stricter interpretation of the law regarding knives. In New York City, you are prohibited from having a knife of any type, including assisted-opening knives, longer than four inches. Folding knives and assisted-opening knives below four inches are allowed, provided you are 16 and not a convicted felon. They can be carried to public places as long as they are not visible. For example, carrying an assisted-opening knife in your pocket or purse is allowed"
