New Benchmade Infidel

[Indecision]

My girlfriend works in a military surplus store, so she gets some people coming in sellling cool **** (she will never live down the time she didn't call me when someone wanted $200 for an acog). She knew I was looking for a Benchmade Infidel and someone came in and wanted $175 for it, considering they go for over $350 down the street, she jumped on it.

It's new and she's going to try to exchange it for a black bladed one up the street, just like I did with my daily carry Stryker Auto Tanto.

Great looking knife. Wish I had a connection like that. Congrats on the score.

The way I see it, the only way it would ever be an issue is if I got arrested for something else. Why would some random cop walk up and ask to inspect the knife in my pocket? I don't plan on breaking the law in a fashion to get me arrested, so i'll carry at my own risk. I also figure worst case scenario, the cop confiscates it for himself and gives me a verbal warning.

I have a friend who I asked about switch blades....... his response "Its only a misdemeanor"

Because your advertising yourself as a rebel on a public forum.

hmmm... we have all of two knives we can't own in indiana.... good thing they are so restrictive !!!

as to why a cop might ask you to see your knife... um... because its ILLEGAL?? or is that fact lost? there are cops who are knife nuts and can pick out a auto from a non just by looking........ or maybe because its their job, if they suspect your breaking the law, to follow through.......

If they can tell it's illegal from 1/2" of the bottom of the grip showing, i'm impressed.

Lol, maybe. If I make it through this deployment with this one, i might just keep it at the house for fear of losing it. And I never planned on carrying the infidel. Just cool factor. I have my SOG Trident assisted open that I can legally carry and it's a nice knife too. Plus there are several others I want.

then don't cry if you get busted with it, and then all the ensueing legal crap you get into. but i'm sure that will be another bags of cats.....

anyway, thanks for your service. if you need anything, let us know.

I can tell.

But then again,I think the Indiana switchblade law is antiquated and a moot point esp when my Emerson or Spyderco is faster.They don't have the Oh! and Ah! factor but are good blades none the less.

When I was in the service,the only auto's we could requisition were the Schade auto's with shroud cutter.Basically junk.

Stay safe!

Not like I didn't buy it myself, lol. But i'm an Infantryman, a good knife is pretty much an inspectable/sensative item.

Suppose you get jumped and use it in a SD scenario and stab someone... then the LEO has to take it as evidence... then you are busted, and try explaining to a jury (if it goes to that point) why you were carryin such an "evil" knife that you just happen to stab someone with....

 

[Indecision]

I have no interest in using a knife for self defense. I have a 1911 for that. If I ever learn how to use a knife for self defense, I might carry it, but It would probably be a smooth blade knife, in which case I would just buy an assisted open anyway.

 

[cubby]

hey! i JUST realised, your in NC. i don't know if they outlaw autos or not.... hahahhaa!! also not sure where your GF is either.. so for all i know your legal!!

hahahaha!!

 

[Indecision]

I just searched myself, they are outlawed, the only time i really carry is in uniform anyway, which from what i read, is legal.
