Buy a Folding Knife Online in Sterling Heights

Shoppers are increasingly taking advantage of the web to make most purchases, even equipment such as firearms and knives. But that doesn’t mean that sites are created equal.

So, before you hand over your hard-earned cash review these guidelines for buying a folding knife online.

Learn your local laws

• States regulate what types of weapons can be owned, and what kind be carried. It’s not uncommon to be able own a particular knife but not carry it on your person in public.

• Make sure you know what licensing is required. The blade length will often dictate what kind of license you need.

Know what you’re looking for

• Online shopping doesn’t allow you to test or hold an item before purchase, so it’s imperative that you know exactly what you’re looking for.
• Research the materials, features, and price point that interests you. And when you see an item online make sure to read the entire description to ensure it matches your needs.
• Folding knives are equipped with locking and opening mechanisms to keep the knife from accidentally opening. Websites should note what type of mechanism the knife uses. For example, differentiating whether the knife is assisted open, automatic, or have a compression lock. Some brands use their own patented locking system.
• Some stores will try to pass off generic knives as genuine brands. Don’t be fooled if the description says something like “like Ka-Bar” or another popular brand such as Kershaw.

Use secure websites

• It won’t matter how much research you’ve done if you purchase from a non-reputable dealer, or worse a fake website.
• Only use sites with secure connections between you and the server. Look for SSL encryption (Secure Sockets Layer) to keep your credit card information safe.
• Use sites that are PCI compliant; your credit card transactions are more safely stored by those companies.
