    Not mine, just a picture of the exact same knife.
    My Boy Scout leader from the 1970s, William Rachevsky would occasionally bring his to our Scout meetings and let us drool over it. I haven't seen one since then!

    When they say stiletto. Are they referring to any double edged knife, or are single edged iconic automatic knives like these still illegal?

    Switchblade knives made legal in bill signed by Gov. Rick Snyder
    By Lauren Gibbons - Updated on July 16, 2017 at 7:03 AM Posted on July 16, 2017 at 7:00 AM

    A statewide ban on switchblades will be lifted under legislation signed into law by Gov. Rick Snyder Thursday.

    Senate Bill 245 eliminates current law prohibiting sale and possession of spring-assisted knives, also known as switchblades.

    Under the ban that's being lifted by the new law, the only people allowed to carry switchblades were those in the police, military or people missing a hand or arm. The law banned others from purchasing knives with mechanical means of being opened.

    The bill was introduced by Sen. Rick Jones, R-Grand Ledge, and passed the Senate Judiciary Committee he chairs in March. Both the House and Senate passed the legislation, and the legislation was sent to the governor in June.....

    There is nothing in the law that would make the knife pictured illegal. This bill, now law, REPEALED the law,

    The only place "stiletto" is used, is in reference to "non folding" knives. A stiletto is not "edged" at all in the sense that you can slice salami with it. It is a stabbing instrument only. The Italian word "stiletto" is from the Latin Stilus, meaning: "a stake; a pointed instrument, used by the Romans, for writing upon wax tablets.

    I like the comments blaming republicans. Clearly, these people didnt notice that it had pretty much universal support before getting outraged.

    I just read the enrolled (last listed) version of sb245 and knives weren't mentioned. It mostly focused on guns in schools. Did I miss a key ingredient?

    The third line from the bottom says "Enacting section 1. Section 226a of the Michigan penal code, 1931 PA 328, MCL 750.226a, is repealed."

    YES! Exactly!

    The whole rest of the bill REMOVES any references to Section 226a. So, of course, you wouldn't see that in the final bill either.

    There is no new law that makes anything "legal". They have removed what was there that made it illegal!

    Of course, this does nothing to prevent the locals from enacting their own, which is the purported reason for the change. People were being charged for "switchblades" by having an "assisted" knife. There is an AG opinion that covers that.

    We STILL NEED knife preemption!

    Thanks for the clarification guys.

    So lacking preemption means that we continue to risk running afoul of the law crossing city borders with ANY pocketknife just like last week; only now it can be a cool "out the front" spring knife (next stop: Google!)?

    A step in the right direction, but preemption is a must. Some cities in my area have very draconian knife laws, and 20 minutes on the freeway can take me through several jurisdictions. Smh.
