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. Other than that, there are no restrictions.

Can you whittle with any pocket knife?

Yes. Locking or fixed blades are safer than folding blades. Sharp blades are simpler, and small blades allow for finer detail. Each knife you use will have it's own advantages, but many active carvers typically pick up a very nice chisel and X-acto tool set. http://www.dickblick.com/products/x-acto-deluxe-wood-carving-set/ http://www.sculpturehouse.com/wood_carving.aspx

so you can cut things with no effort barely The sharp blade is due to the fact that there are relatively very few layers of atoms in it. When it is applied to a surface, the pressure it exerts is large since the surface area is small.


What are the knife laws for fixed blades and folding blades in the state of Missouri?

No larger than 4 inches concealed fixed or folding. No limit on length fixed blade not concealed. It is legal to walk anywhere with a sword as long as it is not concealed. This is true of nearly all states. There are, however, loose definitions of what concealed is. Concealment is a relative definition. If you have a katana on your back and I am standing in front of you where I cannot see it, There may be an argument for concealment. You are safest to keep your blades under 4 inches. I have gone out for a day of shopping with a 14 inch, damascus steel blade on my thigh. Even mall security did not question me.

What kind of features should be considered when purchasing a tactical knife?

It is important to remember that what makes a tactical knife LOOK dangerous is not the same as what makes it dangerous. What is the purpose for your knife? For example, if you are a pilot and may need your knife to escape from an aircraft you actually want very fine "saw" type blades at the top to cut through aluminum. Generally "saw" edges along the top of your blade weaken it. For more general purposes, the focus should be how easy it is to carry, blade length and weight. Most folding knives should have a blade between three and six inches and not be more than nine inches long overall. Blades should normally be stainless steel and the handle should NOT absorb moisture. A fixed blade is obviously stronger than a folding one.
