This is not true. The NYC DA has made a fuss over gravity assisted knives: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/suit_sticks_it_to_manhattan_da_over_z1OcknmEQLA537BuKxGomN?CMP=OTC-rss&FEEDNAME= http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/suit_sticks_it_to_manhatt... I also think there is a restriction that pertains to open carry versus concealed (even if concealed means a spyderco clipit hanging inside your pocket).

Yeah open carry of any knife is illegal which sounds like that's what they charged him with. http://public.leginfo.state.ny.us/LAWSSEAF.cgi?QUERYTYPE=LAWS+&QUERYDATA=$$ADC10-133$$@TXADC010-133 http://public.leginfo.state.ny.us/LAWSSEAF.cgi?QUERYTYPE=LAW... seems to indicate that gravity knives are legal but perhaps there are other laws that apply. http://www.akti.org/action/new-york-city-knife-code http://www.akti.org/action/new-york-city-knife-code doesn't seem to indicate any others though.
