Massachusetts switchblade ban

Massachusetts Supreme Court Strikes Down Switchblade Ban

The catch piece that covers the tip when the Marble’s Safety Hunter repro by Rhidian Gatrill is closed also folds into the handle and locks in under the square tang to lock the blade open. Rhidian said making that part of the knife was the most difficult step—getting the dimensions just right so the blade would both close and open properly, and the catch piece would both cover the tip with the knife closed and fold and lock in at the bottom of the tang with the blade open.
