@@thisgoddamusernamestoodamnlong 😂😂 it's true, so ridiculous. I'm glad I live in Switzerland, you can carry all knives except symetrical blades, and you can buy whatever firearm you want, even full auto. After the mandatory army, you can keep your military rifle swiss Sig550 at home.
Exactly the laws in 🇬🇧 are just as stupid, I have a gravity knife that’s “illegal” yet I can go to the supermarket and buy a fixed blade that’s double in length and would cause way more damage
@@D49729 pretty sure that any knife is illegal to carry with you after exceeding a certain blade length. It’s not about how much damage it can cause, but how easy it is to use for the purpose of hurting someone
What is crazy is most of the switchblade laws were passed in response to Hollywood depicting these as evil knives based on movies like "West Side Story". The fact that knives like these allow a single handed deployment which might be needed by someone with a handicap or a person who is using one hand for something else like holding up a box or fending off an attacker.
@@kellyharbeson18 They really like legislating against common self defense tools for women huh? The canadian pepper spray ban always rubbed me the wrong way.
I loved using my otf when breaking down boxes at work. I could deploy it cut the box down then close it with one hand while crushing the box and grabbing new ones and not having to worry about waving a blade around or having to use two hands to open and close over and over again.
The stiletto was most famous in the classic film "twelve angry men". It was the alleged murder weapon in a court trial. Im not a huge Henry Fonda fan, but that was a great movie. Even the remake wasn't bad but never as good as the original
I am a dedicated blade fanatic...I even spend money that I probably shouldn't but i absolutely love knives. Your channel has introduced me to new things that I otherwise wouldn't even know of their existence. Anyways,I very much love your channel,it shows me all types of things that I didn't even know was in existence!
Laws are the reason I'm a proud born and raised Missourian! #1 law of these lands is to protect you and your family at all costs. My state legislature ENCOURAGES it's residents to produce their own weapons!
The states need to start outlawing fear. So many ppl go around so afraid they will be shot or stabbed by a certain type of gun or knife that they actually make laws against them. I can carry an 8” long screwdriver and do more damage with it yet, they cry about how a knife opens?
I read a code of conduct posted in a shopping centre. It said that weapons were prohibited, including anything that could be used as a weapon. Does that include ballpoint pens? Because, yeah, those can be lethal if wielded with skill and intent.
People who are scared of different knifes and are completely ignorant when it comes to being able to create pain in a physical conflict. If everyone is so scared maybe they should take some self defense classes to teach them a few different pressure points.
I love your collection! Very diverse and thorough. I’d recommend your channel to people trying to learn the basics of knives or just starting a collection. Love the content
Doesnt matter how the blade is deployed, once it's out, it's no deadlier than a LEGAL kitchen knife.
but the bad guys in west side story used them, so must be baaaad!!!

It does matter. Tactical advantage. You can completely hide a folded blade in your hand

Switchblades are not more dangerous than, say, folding knives, they are just perceived as evil. Many laws are based on perception and not reality.

Knife babe is absolutely ADORABLE!!!
If I had to guess I bet California is gonna be one with the most stricked laws
California does have a lot but surprisingly so does Tennessee in a lot of heavy gun states for some reason have weird laws when it comes to knives
Bro so your tell robs can forget using rules while I have to defend myself within the law and not die.
California legal autos are illegal in Washington
@@Lemon_Sage9999 NJ illegal too.
@@igoryurkin9038 everything is illegal in Jersey, you can't even sleep there
Thank you for what you are doing for the community 🙏
That OTF knife looks really nice

Amen. Came here to say the same thing.
I may not have been born in Missouri, but I'll die here.
The fact that you need that protection in the first place should make you not be proud of where you live at all
Produce as in manufacture?.. coz that's awesome..

Nice blades new sub you got a hell of a collection very cool 👍👍👍
Thanks for the sub!
@@MelissaBackwoodsI don't think regulations is the answer.
What got you into knives?
I love your collection! Very diverse and thorough. I’d recommend your channel to people trying to learn the basics of knives or just starting a collection. Love the content![
Thanks for that!
@@MelissaBackwoodswhat is the name of the black knife right before you start introducing spring assisted blades? It was kinda slow to open but I like the handle. Please reply back ty for the educational video 😢
I NEED to know what the otf was
You're such a beautiful woman and the best at what you do on CZcams. Thank you for providing such wonderful content. Also, I'm so jealous of your collection. Simply wonderful 😊
Melissa, YOU are truly the SHARPEST knife in the drawer!
My home state of illinois outlawed switchblades for pretty much my entire life, but legalized them a couple of years ago for people with a firearm license 🤦
Love theses videos, learning laws for all states ,and currently in California ,thank you!
Those 3rd and 5th knives where sooo clean, what are they ?
The fact WE have allowed them to outlaw a knife would make our fore fathers jaws drop with disgust
Our forefathers are dead
Don't follow them.
@@dougvuillemot8670 don’t follow who
I love watching all of your videos talking about the knowledge that you have about the different weapons that you are talking about.
I have to tell you something miss, I have a few knives now and wanted to thank you for all your info! take care and Keep Healthy and Safe! xo
Imagine coming to this woman’s house and seeing how many weapons she has 💀💀💀
Thank you for this. I've been trying to figure out the difference between my spring assisted knife and a switch blade
That first knife caught my attention, anyone know what it is ?
Thanks Miss backwoods You have a great video great video and I’m looking forward to the next one
Great video and dispersion of knowledge! Thank you.
Nice blades. And awesome wall.
New york state recently declared spring assist as a switchblade so dont get arrested yall
Screw NY!
Tyranical and Marxist...😊😊
Beautiful as Always !
I love the way you explain these things. 👍🏻
Ever learned so much about knives so fast!
You do really good videos. You can tell that you are truly passionate about knives. Kudos!
Your so enjoyable to watch , love knifes , and Melissa, I get dumbfounded looking at her eyes 2 of them ! Then I learn something. Perfect . 😊
I thought she had three eyes ?
Whoa! Her amazing knife collection goes for days.
As a brit, I don't know why I have been recommended this channel
Its torture isn't it? So unfair because a few feral gang-bangers can't behave.
In Minnesota we can have OTF's. They consider them still an assisted knife. No button push knives though.
شما و چاقو هاتون زیبا هستین👍👍👍👍👍👍
Love your beautiful smile and thank you for all the information on the knives have a blessed day beautiful 🤩
Very nice collection indeed.
I have over 40 knives and about 7 machetes . Wy wife calls this an obsession. Then I see your collection and realize I must step up my game.
It’s absolutely crazy that in California I can’t have an OTF knife longer than two inches but if I want to walk down the street with Excalibur hanging from my belt it’s totally fine.
Whenever I hear the 'click' of a switchblade it reminds me of Arnold's arrival in the first TERMINATOR movie.
Great info. Keep it coming!
You are very informative 👍
Good job educating the people 👍. I still like the folders but it’s so much more convienient to carry a small fixed across the waist
I collect knives, too, and love your videos!
thanks for the great videos !
Hello fellow knife nerds: OTFs do differ between switchblade and non-switchblade variants. It depends on whether there is potential energy stored in a bent piece of metal or a spring that is released when the knife is open.
Move to Oklahoma, a few years ago they pretty much put an end to knife restrictions.. including the switch blade, double edged dagger and the Bowie. No open carry of a machete though.. but those are legit in Texas
Thank 👍 👌 you, Melissa!!
Thank you for the legal stuff info. Helpful cautions for all of us in various locations. Owner beware, etc.
🥰Gorgeousness 💞
You meet this girl and you think
Hey I think I hit the Jackpot !
Then she takes you home and shows you her extensive knife collection !!!
Thank you for the lesson... I love knives....
I had my Case Staghorn Baby Copperlock manipulated to a true switch blade...Sweet Baby!!
If I was robbing a house and I saw that wall, I’d be out.
Hears a *CLICK* from the hallway:
Funny storry with an otf here. I was around 8 years old when I found my dads stiletto in a random drawer. It was an otf automatic I stood there looking at it with my pointer finger halfway in front of where the blade was supposed to come out then started wondering what does this big silver button do. So naturally I pressed it and it went like a milimeter of my finger now being my dads knife always sharp enough to shave it still cut my hand pretty good. Lesson learned there😂.
then i suppose im illegal to go to some states, bc I AM A WEAPON, heck the spoon im eating on now has always been a funny-shaped knife, that water-filled plastic bottle i carry is an improvised kubotan (or blunt stabbing weapon), that codal law book in between my pits is great for choking muggers. i used to carry a craft envelope with a new chopboard inside as an offense/defense weapon, but my wife needed a fresh board.
Beautiful ❤❤❤
Here in south dakota, almost all knives are legal to own and carry.
Want an otf? go for it.
Trench knife? (Knuckle knife) absolutely.
Brass knuckles with an otf in the handle? As many as you'd like.
Balisong? Yup
Gravity knives? Why not.
Want to carry your handgun but don't want to bother with a ccw and don't have a criminal record or history of domestic violence? "Shall not be infringed" is taken seriously right up until you get to NFA items.
We might not have much here, but we are as free to exercise our constitutionally guaranteed rights as anywhere else I've ever lived, and more than most of them.
That's a sweet switchblade
Great 👍👍👍👍👍👍 I love it
😄👍Good To Know, Great Tips
Come from the blades, stay for the T&A.
I had an OTF knife, made in Mexico. I clicked that thing open and closed about a thousand times before it broke.
Wow, her face & hair are absolutely stunning, gorgeous, beautiful, what a beauty. 😂😂
Thankfully in Wisconsin we can carry just about any knife we want. Most people I know carry a OTF knife. They are just cool and useful!
Jesteś SUPER Gość ❤
Here in Texas we have awsome knife laws. Hell i was shown a group of cops my spyderco autonomy 2 (push button auto) on my lunch break yesterday.
sad but "switch blades" used to be know as "safety blades" and were very common, even found in sewing kits. a lady could reach for a safety blade, tap a switch, cut the item, tap a button, and place the knife safely back in the "holding location" and never need to look at the knife. or worry about getting cut from the very sharp blade.
thank you this helped a lot
قلادة رائعة واختيارات جميلة للعرض
Beautiful
Great explanation. Thank you.
Thank God I live in switchblade legal (love my Boker Kalashnikovs, I have 4 of them), Constitutional Carry Kansas.
Love that you have WE knives... Great product
I love all those knives : ) 👍🏼
You go girl I'm teaching my daughter about different types of names it's a woman's world 2 define interpret themselves I'm sorry to say I'm illiterate I use voice commands on my phone to speak for me it's an iffy iffy thing but I'm trying to learn how to read what you doing good girl remember it's a woman and man's world I believe in you you go girl
Nice explanation from a gorgeous and beautiful American lady...... Mabuhay!!!!
OTF double action! Highly recommend kershaw livewire, BM infidel or microtech ultratech. And to stay away from lower end OTF knives.
Just understand that some state laws do not differentiate between an assisted open knife and a knife that can easily be flown open with the flick of the wrist or your thumb. Any knife that can easily be swung out and some states is still classified as an assisted open knife. Especially here in California where they almost require for men 48 hours to open one blade.
The background is a huge flex
Thanks, good content!

I always carry a stiletto, thank you Florida !
MN has some pretty strict laws as well.
that deadlock damn nice
What knife..??? Beautiful Lady...!!!
Cool video
Very smart but dangerous ❤❤❤
Automatics are typically the slowest deployment option available. 95% of the knives I own and carry are a whole lot faster. Arc & button locks and gravity knives to name just a few.
In my time as a "street punks" I normalized deadly featherdusters to get em to focus on outlawing em since I wanted stuff to be dusty again
Hello. We can’t really buy many knives over here, which is a shame, as a lot of us still see them as tools, not defence items.
All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧
Here in Canada we can’t have spring assisted or automatic..but rarely in forced
Thanks good education
Nice collection of knives. Mine is getting big.
Still nothing beats a 7+" fixed blade/boot knife like my Gerber Guardian Backup being carrying it 22 years on my belt, pocket, pouch bag, IWB appendix carry, IWB small of my back, neck carry and my tactical boots.
I love your necklace 🎉
