Found this on Wikipedia. I know, not the best source but...

Japan

Any fixed knife containing a blade length of 5.9 inches or more requires permission from the prefectural public safety commission in order to possess. Permission requirements also apply to any type of pocket knife over 2.2 inches (including Automatic Knives), spears over 5.9 inches in blade length, and Japanese halberds.

Me too! Our knife laws are pretty good. I still wish we could own balisongs though :(
