Amazon isn’t always the cheapest!
Order the $59, return the $79.I just ordered a Case knife through Amazon. It was a sowbelly pattern I was looking for with chrome vanadium blades. It was discontinued by case so when I saw it I bought it. I went to the venders website after the fact and saw he was selling it for $59 dollars instead of the $79 I had spent. Free shipping? I don’t think so.
I wonder if I can buy a slingshot on Amazon.Thus, perpetuating the false belief that they are illegal.
Illegal to sell, illegal to carry, not illegal to own. Broad. Entirely arbitrary.Check out Massachusetts knife laws and you will understand why companies will not ship knives to Massachusetts. I will not quote the law or reference to it, you’re going to have to look it up yourself but you’ll understand once you read it.

I thought about it. It’s a third party vendor and he’s not a big dealer. I figured I might not get another one or at least the same fit&finish, plus it’s a discontinued pattern. I’ve returned stuff from other third party amazon dealers and you get a bit of attitude. I think it goes against them.Order the $59, return the $79.

Interesting. Last month I ordered two sets of knives from Amazon, 6 steak knives, and some nice cooking knives. No issues.Yeah, scamazon is retarded with what it will and will not ship here. It's funny. They let me buy red dots, scopes and tritium sights, but I can't buy a knife, pepper spray and muzzle brakes. I can buy AK screw kits for builds, but not trigger groups.... It's moronic and the company is run by shitlibs, but hey, it is useful as long as I'm not looking for certain things. Especially since I can't get half the shit I need locally.
Question: What is more egregious than Amazon not shipping knives to states?
Answer: States having knife laws to begin with!
Go to your local gun store. Everyone carries pepper spray.
You can thank Ted Kennedy for that. Movies like Rebel Without a Cause put a stigma on them. You can get switchblades here and around Mass. The law just says no. I always thought it was ironic that you can get away with a sheath knife but not a switchblade. A sheath knife, the blade is deployed as soon as it’s in your hand.
I’ve always carried traditional pocketknives. Usually a three blade stockman. Never had a problem. I did pull it out once to cut something and a lib pointed at it and said “look, he has a weapon.” I handed it to her and said “ here, try to open it. “ She got frustrated and handed it back. Idiots.I've read that before, all the stiletto, g-knife, and switchblade laws were basically anti gang laws from the 60's. But fixed blades are sportsman's knives, not weapons I use my folder to do almost any cutting I needed in 15 years of running around in the woods and working. I think I used the big fixed I had to carve a pumpkin and I loaned it out to cut up a deer. Other than that it's been a folder for everything else.
I might pick up a kabar necker so I can have a smaller knife that's concealable. Sometimes I feel a little weird with a pocket clip (because I pick up on everyone with a pocket clip that walks by, and I'm sure I've been "made" before) walking around and would prefer something I could mount on my belt and cover with a shirt.
And yeah if you know where to look you can get real switchblades in MA, let alone assisted knives. Or go out of state. Or have leo/mil friends.

DANBURY — Danbury police advise that if area residents are waiting for an Amazon delivery Saturday, they could face a delay.
A truck carrying Amazon packages rolled over shortly after 4 a.m. on Route 4 near the Grafton town line, officials said.
The driver was charged with speeding, operating an unregistered vehicle, and motor vehicle violations, police said.
The federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement staff are holding the driver in custody.
The driver faces a hearing Monday to discuss immigration status, officials said.
They are far bigger than Sears as they're a worldwide company. Sears was a retailer no different than Walmart is today and nobody is calling for anti-trust action against Walmart. Amazon's only real competition right now is Walmart actually.As far as antitrust, they are no different than Sears Roebuck in their peak catalogue era.
I rarely buy anything from Amazon, the only times I do is when I can't find it anywhere else or I can't find it for a low enough price. Bill Goforth's books on Iver Johnson and H&R? Yup, Amazon is about the only choice. Nice pair of underwear or socks? Yes. Schrade OTF knife? Sure.
If any other of my favorite retailers has it, I'm buying it through them and telling Baldy Bezos to fug off, why wouldn't you just go to a store and buy it?
Okay, maybe in Massachusetts, especially north of B-town where there are so many f'ing people, I can see not wanting to sit at a stop and wait 10 minutes to take a left or driving over roads that are in just slightly better condition than after bombing the Highway of Death in the Gulf War.I prefer shopping from my recliner.

But most of the country doesn't live in the shytehole of the Greater Boston Metropolis.
