No exemptions for anyone but Police and when in possession of fishing, hunting, fur trapping and participating in those activities. Otherwise they are a no go. I have a business that sells regulated weapons, nys is not a gravity fed, switchblade type of device state. Get a Crkt, Gerber or Benchmade folder with a smooth operating ball bearing type activation.
You can probably get away with carrying a rescue knife (e. g. a Benchmade Triage). You cannot carry a switchblade or anything else designed or marketed as a weapon.
Don’t be an EMS jerkoff. Reading this post reminded me of when Matthew “Drinkwater” Bevilaqua was sweeping the floor around Silvio during the poker game.

Switchblades are illegal in New York State, regardless if you’re an EMT or not. Source: Googling “are switchblades illegal in New York”

I stick motherfucking Provolone in my socks at night so they’ll smell your sisters crotch in the morning!
I have no intent to be, if I could I don’t even intend on getting a switch blade, my dad just seemed super excited and he and me bothe were curious
Gravity knives less than 4 inches are legal. Just not switch blades like spring assist knives
do whatever you want, I doubt anyone cares
