Knife Rights Director of Legislative Affairs, Todd Rathner, was in Olympia, Washington, on Wednesday to lobby for SB 5534, the the bipartisan “Spring Blade” Ban Repeal bill, which went on to pass the Senate by a vote of 46-2. It’s now off to the House.

SB 5534 would repeal the ban on sales and civilian possession of “spring blade” (automatic) knives, as well as specifically exclude them from the definition of “dangerous weapon.”

We sincerely appreciate the efforts by our bipartisan bill sponsors, Senators T’wina Nobles and Phil Fortunato and Senate Law & Justice Committee Chair Manka Dhingra for moving this bill through the Senate.
