Knife laws in Kentucky are as follows.

A knife is considered a concealed deadly weapon if it is kept in your pocket or other area where the object is covered.

You may carry a Ordinary pocket knife / hunting knife on your person and in your pocket by law.

Though no law exists defining ordinary pocket knife / hunting knife leading people to be charged anyways.

Balisong's and switchblades are not specifically prohibited by law but are frowned upon.

To carry your knife unconcealed you may carry it in a knife sheath that is on your belt with your shirt not covering it.

You may also carry your knife in your pocket if it is in the box and you have the receipt on you.

Are switch blades illegal in Kentucky?

No, it is not illegal to own a switch blade knife in the state of Kentucky. Kentucky has no laws prohibiting or limiting the ownership of knives but when it comes to carrying them on your person, it has to be an "ordinary pocket or hunting knife". And for the rest of the carrying laws, it is dependant on your local jurisdiction. Short answer; it is legal to own but not necisarily carry dependant on the laws of the local jurisdiction.

What are the knife laws in porter county INDIANA?

I can't find any laws that pertain solely to Porter County in terms of knife laws, that means there are no additional knife laws for the county beyond state laws. Indiana is one of the most lenient states in terms of knife laws. There are viturally no laws regarding knives except to forbid knives on school grounds. Ballistic knives are still illegal, of course. But ballistic knives are considered illegally manufactured firearms rather than knives. Throwing stars are illegal as well.

In most states it is not illegal to carry a knife, as long as it is not a knife that is not illegal to carry in public (such as a switchblade knife, butterfly knife, or fixed blade knife). Also a knife should not be concealed, and its blade should not exceed three inches in length. But you should research the relevant laws in your state, as many states laws vary slightly, and sometimes greatly.
