Any guesses why it can't be shipped to NJ?

Because they're weenies?

Because NJ likes to bend us over the counter and butter our collective biscuits. But really its most likely because its spring assisted. NJ might count that as an assault knife-o-matic rifle with 20,000 round clip.

Amazon has it for $31.99 and free shipping... I've bought "cutlery" from Amazon and it shipped to my home, with no problems.

Because sportsman's guide is functionally brain damaged. I tried dealing with them about things in the past, and essentially their rules are made up. Near as I cna tell, rather than have an time flagged per state, each inventory item has a restriction code. That code represents a grouping of states. An item gets whatever code was keyed in by some data entry monkey, right or wrong, and there is no means of fixing it. The best ones are when there are two equivalent items with different restriction codes so brand A of an item cna come to a state, but brand B of the SAME THING cannot.

I've purchased a few spring assisted knives from Amazon and had them shipped to my house in NJ with no problems. I would expect Amazon to be just as strict as Sportsman's Guide when it comes to shipping potentially restricted items.

Looks pretty cool, and I'm tempted to get one. So is it legal in NJ?

I picked this knife up from Amazon, and it was delivered promptly with free shipping. Turns out that what they mean by "assisted" is that when you push a button (with the safety off), the blade springs open. Excuse my naivety, but is that the same thing as a switchblade? Am I in violation of NJ law by owning it? (And will the NJSP come knocking at my door now that I've posted this?)

There isn't a button that you press. You push against a thumb knob and the spring assists in the opening of the knife. IMO if it was illegal in NJ, Amazon should know that and refuse shipment.

Thanks for the reply. What you say makes sense. I hope it's right.
