A gravity knife is any knife which has a blade which is released by the force of gravity or the centrifugal force (such as by flicking it) which, when released, is locked into place. Many stores sell these knives and some employers require them for use in cutting boxes or other lawful activities. Being caught with one in New York City can lead to an arrest and prosecution. Additionally, if you are caught with one and you've been previously convicted of a crime, the case can be elevated to a felony. Criminal Defense Attorney Lance L.
