Is there any international site which accepts debit card and sells automatic knives or OTF knives? Thank you IFG.

1. No international site will accept a debit card of an Indian bank. Unless you have an account in international banks like CitiBank, HSBC, Standard Chartered, etc. Even then, you would need to ask the bank. Credit cards are acceptable. What you can do is to open a PayPal account and link it to your bank account. Then you can transfer to the Paypal account and then to the seller. Most sellers will accept PayPal.
2. Please check legality of automatic knives (I assume you mean switchblade types, if not, I apologise). I think switchblades are illegal in India.
Cheers!

I wish you could find one to play with for a while so that you can see that automatic knives in general look much more interesting on the movie screen than they do in real life. Even the expensive ones are somewhat of a bother, and cheap ones will wear out sooner than you think (they batter themselves at the lock mechanism frequently when they snap open, then the lock either jams up or simply stops locking).

Anyway, my advice is to save your money and spend it on a quality folding knife and you'll be happier in the long run many months/years after a switchblade would have been tossed in the rubbish bin.

There are many knife online stores like ebay, amazon , unacceptable content removed by moderator etc.
Keep knives in your pocket and pray that you will never need it
