Auto knives for sale!

These are for sale in NH only, cannot be shipped out of the state


In June of 2010, the Governor of New Hampshire signed the "Knife Rights Bill" which lifted the restrictions on what type of knife can be owned, carried and used here in the State of New Hampshire. This meant that dirks, daggers, switchblades, butterfly knives, gravity knives etc are now legal in NH! In the spirit of exercising my right as a free citizen of one of the freest states in the union, I didn't waste any time getting my hands on a box of switchblade knives to offer for sale here at our shop. These knives cannot be shipped across state lines, as other states are not so free.

"Live free or die, for death is not the greatest of evils" - Gen. John Stark

Are you a fan of the Kalashnikov rifles? Are you a fan of quality auto knives? Here is the knife for you then! The Boker AK74 is 7 1/2" open with a 3 3/8" satin finish blade. It is 4 1/4" closed. The anodized aluminum scales are pebbled for a good grip. There is a pocket clip on the right side. It has been upgraded with an automatic spring kit. Being a special edition, the knife comes in a box that looks like an AK74 magazine.

Before you send me emails telling me about the typo, yes, I meant to type AK74, not AK47. The AK74 is the newer, more modernized version of the venerable AK47 that fires the smaller 5.45mm Soviet round as opposed to the AK47's 7.62mm round. Click here for a picture of a Bulgarian AKM-74 sidefolder.
(sorry, the rifle is not for sale, we only sell muzzleloaders)


Here's the one I carry. The "Godfather Spike" (no, I didn't make up the name, that is what the invoice called it) is a lightweight but well built sidefolder. I believe it was built as an auto knife as opposed to being converted with a spring kit. It has hard plastic scales with a matte finish (maybe delrin?), is 8 1/2" overall with a 3 5/8" bayonet type blade. Closed it is 4 7/8". There is a pocket clip on the right side. It is light and relatively flat, so it is comfortable to keep in a back pocket.

The Lightning is a no-name knife from Taiwan, but is heavy duty and well built. It is an Out-The-Front double action. (that would be "OTF" in knife collector talk) Double action means that the blade is opened and closed with the push of a button, so the button serves two functions. Very, very powerful springs, this thing pops open and closed with authority! There is a pocket clip on the right side. The blade is half serrated. 8" long overall, blade is 3 1/2", 4 5/8" closed. This particular one has a black anodized aluminum handle, but they come in other colors as well. (I have just this one in stock at the moment) An outstanding knife for the price!

This is a classy one. It is the Smith and Wesson SW50T knife that has been converted to an automatic by the addition of a spring kit. I think the color of the anodized aluminum scales is called "champagne". 7 3/4" open, 3 1/4" tanto blade, 4 1/2" closed. There is a pocket clip on the right side.

Nice, nice, nice knife! It is hard for me to not keep this one, but you can only justify owning so many pocket knives and I've got bills to pay. Black anodized aluminum scales with a pebbled finish. Black tanto blade, razor sharp. Has a pocket clip on the right side. Overall length is 7 7/8", blade is 3 1/4", 4 5/8" folded. Someone better buy this before I decide to keep it.

These are a fun little novelty for someone who wants to exercise their right to own a switchblade, but doesn't want to spend a lot of money. It is a refillable butane lighter that has a double action Out-The-Front double edged blade. Not a high quality knife, but a fun way to make the "Live Free or Die" statement for only $5. For reasons I don't understand, there is a little golfer dude etched on the 2 1/8" blade. 5 3/8" overall, 3 1/4" closed.

Another fun little novelty. This on is a refillable butane lighter, a compass and a sidefolder auto knife. Again, not the best quality knife and I haven't checked the compasses for accuracy, but I guess if you are depending on one of these to get yourself out of the wilderness, you are better off using the lighter to start a signal fire anyway. The little compass is the real one, the big one is the button to fire the 1 7/8" leaf shaped, half serrated blade.
