New Hampshire –-(AmmoLand.com)- Another victory for the entire knife community – as New Hampshire Governor John Lynch today signed HB 1665 introduced by pro-knife (and daily knife user) Representative Jenn Coffey.

Congratulations to Rep. Coffey – and thank you for all your efforts, as well as thank you Senator Bob Letourneau who cosponsored the bill (pictured below).

Below is the now effective New Hampshire Law. No longer illegal are stilettos, switch knives, daggers or dirk-knives.

Yep, butterfly knives are legal. You can carry a broad sword here in nh if you want. As long as you are not using it for illegal purposes, you are fine.
