1- Pocket Knives

Pocket knives are also known as folding knives and they are used for self-defense and for utility purpose as well. These knives come as two types generally, one is the spring assisted knives and the second one is the automatic knives. The spring assisted knives have spring mechanisms in them which assist them to open themselves as the blades of such knives fold themselves inside their handles and open when the tension in the spring is overcome by applying pressure on the thumb stud or flipper on the blade with the help of the thumb of the hand.

The second type is the automatic switchblades which open and closes with the help of a button and this is why they are not as automatic as no pressure needs to be applied to open them. This is why spring assisted pocket knives are legal to use whereas automatic ones are illegal to use in most of the states of the US.
