Actually they are only illegal to sell to anyone not police,fire,ems,etc. But if you get stopped and have a good reason for having it, I once took a gentleman into custody who had a benchmade auto and due to the fact his left arm was amputated and he worked as a union carpenter, when we brought him into county for a fugitive warrant the sheriffs at the jail had to keep it with his belongings and return it to him once he was released...

Knives are dangerous. Stay away from them.
