California State Senator Betty Karnette is responsible for Bill SB 274 and the legalization of Spring Assist Knives.

Senator Karnette realized that Spring Assist Knives are extremely functional tools by law-abiding citizens and that these knives serve an important utility to many knife users, as well as firefighters, EMT personnel, hunters, fishermen, and others who utilize one-handed opening knives

After working for over 30 years as a public school teacher, Betty Karnette served one term in the State Assembly then went on to be elected to the State Senate in 1996. She is a member of the board of directors of the Long Beach Memorial Hospital Children's Clinic and is also an Associate Board Member of Sage House in San Pedro, which operates adult day care programs.

Senator Karnette completed her Master's Degree at California State University, Long Beach while working full-time. A native of Paducah, Kentucky, Betty and her husband, Richard, have lived in Long Beach since 1952. They have one daughter.

The Federal Switchblade Act

Federal law prohibits the interstate sale of all switchblade knives

Therefore, switchblade knives are not permitted on eBay.

The Federal statute, found at U.S. Code Title 15, Ch. 29, Section 1241,
Defines "switchblade knife" as follows:
The term "switchblade knife" means any knife having a blade which opens automatically

·                by hand pressure applied to a button
·                or other device in the handle of the knife
·                or by operation of inertia, gravity, or both.

Other names for switchblades include:

·                spring-blade knife
·                snap-blade knife
·                gravity knife
·                butterfly knife.


Bill SB 274 clearly states:


For the purposes of this section, switchblade knife means a knife having the appearance of a pocketknife and includes a spring-blade knife, snap-blade knife, gravity knife or any other similar type knife, which can be released automatically by a flick of a button, pressure on the handle, flip of the wrist or other mechanical device, or is released by the weight of the blade or by any type of mechanism whatsoever.

Definition of Switchblade knife does not include a knife that is designed to open with one hand utilizing thumb pressure applied solely to the blade of the knife or a thumb stud attached to the blade, provided that the knife utilizes a detent or other mechanism that (a) provides resistance that must be overcome in opening the blade, or (b) biases the blade back toward its closed position.

In order to ensure that only legitimate one-handed opening knives are covered, SB 274 narrows the language to only allow knives to fall under the exemption from the switchblade law if that one-handed opening knife contains a detent or similar mechanism.  Such mechanisms ensure there is a measure of resistance that prevents the knife from being easily opened with a flick of the wrist.  Moreover, a detent or other mechanism is prudent and a matter of public safety as it will ensure that a blade will not inadvertently come open.
