It depends on your state laws. In general, any knife, or any object that can be used as a weapon can be a concealed weapon. However, most states specify length requirements for what can or can't be legally carried as a weapon. In Tennessee, the law makes it illegal to carry a knife of 4 inches or more as a weapon.

How long of a blade on a knife is considered a concealed weapon?
It depends on local state laws. In general, yes, a knife of any blade length can be considered a concealed weapon. For instance, in Tennessee, you can legally carry a knife openly or concealed as long as the blade is less than 4 inches, however, there is a provision in the law called "intent to go armed" which can technically apply to anything that can be used as a weapon regardless of what it is.

Can you carry a switchblade knife in Florida?
If you own a concealed weapons permit you can carry a switchbade knife if Florida, otherwise it is illegal to carry concealed. It is legal to own a switchblade in Florida though. You just can't carry it concealed without the correct weapons permit. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not true. In Florida switchblades are no different than any other knife and no permit is required to carry this or any other "ordinary pocket knife" A knife over 4 inches in blade length or that is deemed, or perceived, as a "combat" knife can cause you problems. Simply being a switchblade does not make it a combat knife, that law has already been settled

What size knife is legal to carry in Massachusetts?
There seems to be a great deal of confusion on the subject. Many believe it to be no longer than 3" while others are still saying 5-6". The statutes on the laws themselves seem only to touch on it very vaguely, mostly saying about criminal use or intent. Realistically outside of the federal laws in place where you cant take them on school, or federal property, or airlines.. You shouldn't have any problem defending a claim against you for any size knife that isn't a switchblade. Also they cant stop you for a knife if its not of obvious intent that your going to be using it for illegal activity. I asked a police friend of mine what the laws are for concealed knife carrying in Minnesota and he informed he that 5 inches is the legal limit for a concealed knife.
Does a concealed carry permit in Ohio allow the concealed carry of knives?
It depends on the state. For instance, in Florida, yes, it's a concealed weapons permit and it covers weapons besides just guns. If I remember correctly, you can carry any weapon that's legal to have. On the other hand, Tennessee issues a "Handgun Carry Permit" that only covers handguns and nothing else, BUT it is not illegal to carry a concealed knife as long as the knife is otherwise legal (has to be less than 4 inches, basically), so the permit is irrelevent regarding knives. ADDING: Georgia just changed their law in 2010 to issue a "weapons carry license" that includes both handguns and knives with blades 5" or longer. Such weapons are not only covered by the permit, but also not subject to any city or county local laws. State-level preemption. But that's Georgia. Other states are different.
