Anybody familiar with California Penal Code 20810? The reason I ask is I would like to order some Cold Steel FGX knives which are made from injection molded Griv-Ex (plastic). These knives include a steel ring which is usually attached to the handle so that they can be detected by a magnetometer set at standard calibration. The steel ring keeps these knives compliant with laws that ban undetectable knives. It's been difficult finding a vendor willing to ship these knives to California residents. As most of you know Cold Steel was based in Ventura, California for 40 years before being acquired by GSM. You could purchase as many of these knives as you wanted online or directly from Cold Steel's retail store in Ventura.
