  • BILL ANALYSIS Civil Rights & Judiciary Committee SB 5782
    Washington State BILL House of Representatives Office of Program Research ANALYSIS Civil Rights & Judiciary Committee SB 5782 Brief Description: Concerning spring blade knives. Sponsors: Senators Zeiger, Fortunato, Takko, Padden, Palumbo and Wilson, L.. Brief Summary of Bill Removes "spring blade knife" from the list of dangerous weapons in the dangerous weapons statute, and provides that a spring blade knife is not a dangerous weapon. Amends other statutory provisions to provide that possession of a spring blade knife in certain locations, such as schools and jails, remains generally unlawful. Hearing Date: 3/22/19 Staff: Cece Clynch (786-7195). Background: State Law. Dangerous Weapons. A "spring blade knife" is a dangerous weapon under the dangerous weapons statute, which generally prohibits, and makes a gross misdemeanor: the possession of slung shots, sand clubs, metal knuckles, or spring blade knives; the furtive carrying, with intent to conceal, any dagger, dirk, pistol, or other dangerous weapon; and the use of any device for suppressing the noise of a firearm. "Spring blade knife" is defined to mean any knife, including a prototype, model, or other sample, with a blade that is automatically released by a spring mechanism or other mechanical device, or any knife having a blade which opens, or falls, or is ejected into position by the force of gravity, or by an outward, downward, or centrifugal thrust or movement. A knife that contains a spring, detent, or other mechanism designed to create a bias toward closure of the blade and that requires physical exertion applied to the blade by hand, wrist, or arm to overcome the bias toward closure to assist in opening the knife is not a spring blade knife.

Characterized by its distinctive bullet shape and smaller diameter steel body, the streamlined Spear bit put more distance between the bit body and borehole. This helped increase cuttings evacuation by minimizing blade packing and nozzle plugging, allowing the bit to drill more efficiently. After more than 5,000 runs, the Spear bit's innovative capabilities have proven to increase drilling performance and lower drilling costs of curve- and long-lateral sections in unconventional shale plays. The original Spear bit was recognized among the industry's leading innovators and technological achievements at the 10 th Annual World Oil Awards.
