Airplanes and courtrooms.  I can’t think of very many other places where I don’t have a knife and it has been that way for a lot of years and for good reason.  Of all my EDC items my light and my knife top the list for items used most often.  From cutting cord to slicing an apple to opening boxes, my knife gets used.  A lot.  Seems pretty simple, there can’t be a good reason to not carry a knife.  Or maybe there is.  Today we will take a look at carrying a knife.

Major Considerations for the Carry of Sharp Weapons

• Vary from state to state and from locale to locale
• Some of the laws border on ridiculous (California, Ohio)
• Most states preempt firearms laws, not so for knives

The Devil is in the Details with Knives

• Type of knife
• Folder
• Fixed
• Length
• Action
• Automatics
• Assisted
• One handed
• Spring loaded
• Method of Carry
• Concealed
• Open Carry
• Pocket
• Pocket Clips
• Often times laws focus on intent.  Can you effectively verbalize your purpose for carrying the knife you are carrying.
