Connecticut law allows the possession and carry of automatic knives subject to a very restrictive 1 ½ inches blade length maximum.

Under the law, dangerous weapons are (1) dirk knives, (2) switch knives, (3) stilettos, (4) any knife that has an automatic spring release device that releases a blade from the handle longer than one and one-half inches,
