My first thought too. Wonder who pushed for that? With all the crime, seems a bad idea. Can cities, such as Philly, override the law? If so, that's good in a way, but bad too, since it will lead to less uniformity of the law across the state. To be clear, they should be kept illegal.

There is no reason automatic folding knifes should be illegal.

You can actually get arrested if you carry any kind of knife in Philadelphia. Even a tiny keychain Swiss Army knife can land you 90 days behind bars

Don't worry, if the cops think you're "reasonable" they'll just let you go. No room for extreme bias in enforcement there!

Figures. I always carry a knife too. I’d definitely forget to take it out of my pocket because even NYC permits it

Philly always disclaimed other counties firearm concealed carry permits until that was struck down as illegal. Its not surprising they think they can make up their own rules for pocket knives also.

Because if I were to be stabbed, I would be extra upset that it was a fully automatic switchblade.
