Portland Police Study Knife Sale Ordinance Portland UJ.Pj Police juvenile officers Saturday were studying a proposed ordinance which would ban the sale and possession of switchblade knives in Portland. The proposed two-part ordi nance would make it unlawful for persons under 18 years of age to possess any knife with a blade longer than 3Vi inches. The law also would prohibit the sale and possession of any switchblade knife. The ordinance is backed by police because of the growing number of crimes among juve niles using the switchblade, or spring release, knives.
