Federal Court Rules Hawaii’s Butterfly Knife Ban Unconstitutional

Gilbert, Arizona: A panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held that Hawaii’s ban on butterfly knives violates the Second Amendment. Knife Rights filed an important amicus (friend of the court) brief in support of the appellants in the case of Teter v. Lopez.

In its decision, the Court reversed the district court’s judgment in favor of Hawaii and remanded the case back to the district court “for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.” The Court also denied the appellees’ request to remand the case for further factual or historical development in light of New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n, Inc. v. Bruen, determining that only “legislative facts” were relevant and further development of the facts was unnecessary since the case presented only a legal question. Click to read the full opinion.

Knife Rights Accepts Philadelphia Offer of Judgement

Gilbert, Arizona: In 2014 Knife Rights published a list of the Ten Worst Anti-Knife Cities in America. At that time, New York City was number one, but Knife Rights fixed New York City’s “gravity knife arrests” problem in 2019, moving Philadelphia up to the number one Worst Anti-Knife City spot. Now Knife Rights has accepted Philadelphia’s offer of judgment in Knife Rights, Inc. v. Outlaw, our federal lawsuit that sought to declare unconstitutional and enjoin Philadelphia’s laws that ban the possession and carry of any bladed arms (knives) in public. The City also agreed to pay $10,000 to cover Knife Rights’ legal expenses.

Knife Rights Chairman, Doug Ritter said, “we are excited that after the Supreme Court precedent in Bruen, Philadelphia has recognized that its ban on carry and use of knives in public could not pass constitutional muster. As the premier advocacy organization for the right to possess and carry knives, Knife Rights looks forward to striking down all unconstitutional knife bans throughout the United States.”

Bottom line is that with the court’s order in this case it is no longer illegal to possess or carry a knife in public in Philadelphia. That includes an automatic knife that is carried openly and not concealed — which also due to Knife Right’s efforts — became legal in Pennsylvania on January 2nd this year. Note that you still cannot carry any knife that that is still illegal in the state, including daggers and similar knives. Read more

Buck Knives: Sharpness Equals Cutlery Success

POST FALLS, ID— Buck Knives, Inc., a global leader in the outdoor, sporting, and everyday carry (EDC) knife markets, checks each knife it manufactures for a sharp blade edge before it leaves the factory. The company wants knife owners to be safe—and successful—when using a knife and offers a wide range of tips, products and services to assist with keeping a knife’s blade sharp.

The first resource for sharpening a knife is the Buck Knives website and detailed information on how to sharpen a knife: How to Sharpen Your Knife – Buck® Knives OFFICIAL SITE (buckknives.com). The website offers guidelines for selecting and using the right sharpener—and hint: not a power grinder that will invalidate the company’s Forever Warranty—is the first important step. Sharpening is a two-step process: grinding and honing.

Next, Buck Knives suggests using a coarse grit sharpener if the knife’s blade is nicked or very dull. This process returns the blade’s edge from a dull U- to sharper V-shape. Angle of the blade to the sharpening stone’s surface is also important with 13- to 16-degrees being the best. Additional steps in the sharpening process include using a medium to fine grit sharpening surface and inspecting the blade’s edge honing results as you progress. As a rule, the number of sharpening strokes applied to one side of the blade should also be applied to the opposite side of the blade to stay consistent.

To further aid with knife sharpening, Buck Knives offers nearly a dozen sharpeners including the EdgeTek Dual Flat Pocket Stone Knife Sharpener with coarse and medium grit surfaces along with several FlipStik and Steel knife sharpeners. For knife owners on-the-go, there is a Diamond Pocket Knife Sharpener available. For those knife users who are very serious about sharp blades, there are two Bench Stone Knife Sharpeners offered and each comes with a lid for safe transportation and storage. Read more

Knife Rights Sues Philadelphia Over Knife Ban

Friday, May 6th, 2023 – Gilbert, Arizona: Knife Rights has filed a federal lawsuit challenging the City of Philadelphia’s ban on “use or possess(ion of) any cutting weapon upon the public streets or upon any public property at any time,” as well as within 100 ft. of any school. Joining Knife Rights in the case are Knife Rights members Keith Fetsurka and Scott Mele. They are represented by attorneys John W. Dillon at the Dillon Law Group and William Sack.

Named as defendants are Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw and the City of Philadelphia. The lawsuit, Knife Rights, Inc. v. Outlaw, was filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Click here to read the complaint.

In its complaint, the plaintiffs allege that the City’s ban is unconstitutional and said that “there can be no question that knives are “arms” protected under the plain text of the Second Amendment.…And indeed, the Supreme Court made clear in [NYSRPA v. Bruen] that the Second and Fourteenth Amendments protect the right to acquire, possess, and carry arms for self-defense and all other lawful purposes-inside and outside the home.” Read more
