Texas had the good graces to legalize Auto Knives-Switchblades, for carry last September.
Same rules apply as other carry knives in Texas, Max blade 5", no daggers (generally meaning can't have a "two edged" blade).
No rules on concealment or carry method.
Anyone have opinions on Benchmade versus others?
In particular I am looking at the 8600 BK Bedlam. Its a big giant Auto, probably the biggest one out there.
I like Substantial knives, I currently carry a 12oz, S&W CK43, a big folder that is no doubt a "budget" knife but the favorite knife I've ever had cause its freaking indestructible.
Knives have piqued my interest last few years since I work in Ca. so much and handguns are big trouble out there. Its a "may issue" state and they almost don't, especially to non-natives. You have to convince a LEO you have legitimate need.
