I received the following email:
I am referred to you by Ralph Mroz because I am an attorney defending a young man charged with possessing a gravity knife; a misdemeanor under New York Law. The knife is a "Fury16060" apparently imported from China by Joy Enterprises of Mangonia Park, Fla. Overall length =4" Tang to tip= 2 1/2" serated edge. The applicable statute in New York reads, " ' Gravity Knife' means any knife which has a blade which is released from the handle or sheath thereof by the force of gravity or the application of centrifugal force which, when released, is locked in place by means of a button, spring,lever or other device"
Is the "Fury16060" a "gravity knife"?
Thankyou for your help.
Frederick C. Meyer
Anyone out there have any experience with this knife. Gravity is such a subjective call by the officer and the DA. I do not know any other details about this case but would like to offer Mr. Meyer any case histories involving this knife or one just like it.
thanks
