As far as I am aware, it is legal, as long as the knife is not concealed. Say, if you had a ka bar with an exposed leather holster, it would be fine. There are laws against selling knives to minors, though, so be prepared with an explanation to a passing police officer asking where you got it from. Sources: I was just reading about it on a VA state police website. Also, I have a friend who studies laws like these.

No it is not, provided it is not concealed in your boot ironically. You can OPEN carry, but not conceal carry.

Where can you get switchblades in Massachusetts?

No. In Massachusetts, it is illegal to carry a switch blade or gravity knives (such as a butterfly knife) it is 100% legal to own them however. You can also carry knives if your a minor. Also there is no size limit, whether the knife is on your person or at home. But as clarification, a switchblade is a knife that has its blade that expends out of the front or side of the handle by pressing a button or lever. You have to be touching the blade itself to fling it open, even if it is spring assisted. So basically here is a quick rundown. Anyone with no serious criminal record can carry ANY knife on there person as long as you have to touch the metal part of the blade to open it. Cheers.

What are the charges for a minor bringing a knife in school?

Knives are not illegal. The problem with bringing a knife to school is that it violates a school rule, not that it violates the law. The police will not bring charges against a minor for bringing a knife to school, but the school administration may inflict some penalty, which could even be expulsion from school, if they have a zero tolerance rule.
