Usually the biggest couple of cities in any given state have stricter laws than the rest of the state. A lot of major cities have 2.5" limits, while the rest of the state is 4" or no limit.Wartstein wrote: ↑Mon Feb 18, 2019 7:35 amOT, but being European and out of interest may I ask quickly: So in the US knife-laws are not consistent (if that´s the word?) over a certain state, but can change from city to city ?! Or from outside to inside the city limits?!The Deacon wrote: ↑Mon Feb 18, 2019 4:29 am
The ones I carry in my back pocket get broken down into two sizes. The ones, like the Stretch, that I carry most days are "large". The ones, like the Chaparral, that I carry when going into Greenville with it's 3" blade limit are "medium".
Either way, you'd have to try really hard to ever get a charge for carrying too big of a knife. Millions of folks do it daily in the USA. I basically ignore blade length laws because everyone else does, including cops.
In all my interactions with police, the issue has never come up. I have no idea what one would have to do to make them interested in measuring your blade and charging you. I've EDC'd my Police while working in a city with a 2.5" limit and no one batted an eye.
