i have know idea.......i was hopeing you would know......hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
a 7 inch blade
It can be open carried, but cannot be concealed because it is a fixed blade. You will get stared at and may be harassed by police and people, but it is entirely legal. The knife must be in complete view; even a shirt or jacket hanging over the handle can be contrived as concealed.
In order for a lock-back knife to be the legal size, the blade cannot be longer than seven inches. However, carrying a lock-back knife in public is still considered illegal regardless of its size.
Based on the law, pocket knifes seem to be the ONLY knife you can carry in public, but only in defense.
4 inches
It is my belief that one must be at least 18 years of age to purchase any size or type of knife or blade in the state of Texas.
There is no age restriction. There are some requirements as to size but non at this time pertaining to carry age in the STATE LAW...municipalities, counties, cities, and businesses can restrict purchase to age which runs from 16 to 18 years.
Concealed carry under 4 inches, open carry some people say 6 inches but technicallyyou can open carry any length, even a sword. You just have to be able to justify your reason to carry it when a police officer asks you. Self defence is not considered a sufficient reason to carry any knife in Canada. Do a search on bladeforums and there'san extensive post on this subject.
July 1, 2014: July 1st is Knife Freedom Day in Tennessee. Knife Rights' repeal of the ban on automatic (switchblade) knives and the carry of knives over four inches in length "with intent to go armed," a vague law subject to abusive interpretation, goes into effect today. Combined with Knife Law Preemption that Knife Rights passed in Tennessee last year, which rendered null and void all local laws more restrictive than state law, this means that all law-abiding citizens of the Volunteer State can now own and carry the knife of their choice.
Yes, I carry them and sell them on ebay. They are the flat aluminum and carbide one that does steel blades, serrated blades, scissors, and broadhead arrows. search seller barty99 on ebay.
It depends on the size and material of the knife.
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.
