Anyone else living with a 2 1/2 inch blade length limit?

[bryan123]

And if so how are you dealing with it?

Thanks

Worst limit here is 3" in a few places, but if I had to deal with a 2.5" limit, I'd go with one of my Kiwis or one of my Kopas, along with my Microtech UTX-70.

We have a zero blade length limit! :eek:

It is illegal to carry any cutting implement in Australia. So even with a Manbug in my change pocket I'm breaking the law. :rolleyes:

It's a funny set up here! If you live in a country town no one bats an eyelid. I used to shoot on a property and the delusional manager carried a Leatherman on his belt and two other knives clipped to pockets, both blunt and with the combined value of maybe $6. He'd wear them and his cowboy outfit when he came to Sydney too and never had a problem. Ultimately it's at the individual copper's discretion. :)

The new One-eyed Jack should be interesting to those who want a 2 1/2 inch blade. Best of all, it seems to have a Manbug blade shape.

[Jazz]

IF I had that ridiculous limitation, I'd be more than happy with the Dragonfly. What a knife! I only hope I can carry knives legally all my life.

I've lived with that at work. Custom wharncliffe whittler and a Ladybug hawkbill Salt. Polliwog in my lunchbox.

Any knife can be 2.5 inches if you own a Dremel.

[kbuzbee]

And if so how are you dealing with it?

Not as a legal restriction but I tend to fall into that size carry naturally based on my preferences and requirements. I used to run 3"-3.5" but it's been going down over the past 5-7 years. Carried nothing but a Balance for almost 3 years and currently carrying a K390 Urban. But for me, it's just a preference thing.

This^^. If I had to deal with 2.5", I would get the ethos right on the hand and modify my steel to legal. The Jazz mod on the Stretch comes to mind.

OP here. I am now eagerly awaiting the release of the 2.5 inch Native line that was introduced at Blade Show. Anyone else share my enthusiasm?

That is just absolutely despicable :mad: Hey Brother I'm not at all mad at you but I'm mad at a government that would do that to decent citizens

Here in the Great State of MISSOURI ( USA) we have a 4 inch blade length limit which is why I can carry my M390 Military model without problem. But some cities have their own ordinances that call for a shorter blade but most of them here in Missouri will at least let you carry 3 inch or even 3.5 inches.

As wild of a country as Australia is with the desert and the outback regions I would think that it would be the other way around. I can't for the life of me understand why any nation would want to ban their citizens from using tools that they need :confused:

I highly urge all of you to support the AKTI ( American Knife & Tool Institute) which is a civil rights organization that lobbies for knife rights for decent citizens. Here where I live they don't really care if you carry a pocket knife and the only time that they would bother a normal citizen is if they committed a crime.

I guess we take a lot for granted here in the USA. Personally I think every man and woman ( at least 16 and older) should be allowed to carry a pocketknife.

I would think that the NATIVE model would be a great model to recommend for carry in most all of the 50 states here in the USA.

Hello to a fellow Missourian! I'm glad we can carry up to a 4" blade, although I routinely carry a 3 or 3.5".

so JD, can you recommend a reputable sharpener whom I can send a few knives to for sharpening that's located in MO, by chance?

[LDB]

Shepherd Hills in Lebanon? Not sure if they do sharpening but they are the largest Case dealer in the nation so they definitely know knives.

I used to say if I couldn't live in Texas I might choose Australia but that was 40 years ago before they went insane with gun and knife laws. It's very sad to see such left insanity there.
