Mike Dewine passed a law changing a lot of the knife designations for Ohio.
Of note:
| SB 140 reforms Ohio knife law by making two separate substantive changes: 1. The ban on manufacture and sale of “switchblade,” “spring blade” and “gravity” knives is repealed; 2. It clears up the vague and confusing Ohio law regarding carry of ANY knife by defining a knife, razor or cutting instrument as a “deadly weapon” or “weapon” ONLY if it is used as a weapon. This would allow carrying any knife concealed under state law. |
SB 140 takes effect April 10th.

So glad they finally cleared that definition up. I’ve carried a pocket knife every day since before I was ten and never has any one of them been a deadly weapon or even a weapon. LMAO
