A person who sells any hunting, fishing,
combat or survival knife having a blade length of five inches or more or an
overall length of 10 inches or more to a person under 18 years of age commits a
crime of the fourth degree; except that the establishment by a preponderance of
the evidence of all of the following facts by a person making the sale shall
constitute an affirmative defense to any prosecution therefor: a. that the
purchaser falsely represented his age by producing a driver's license bearing a
photograph of the licensee, or by producing a photographic identification card
issued pursuant to section 2 of P.L.1980, c. 47 (C.39:3-29.3), or by producing
a similar card purporting to be a valid identification card indicating that he
was 18 years of age or older, and b. that the appearance of the purchaser was
such that an ordinary prudent person would believe him to be 18 years of age or
older, and c. that the sale was made in good faith relying upon the indicators
of age listed in a. and b. above.
