are you allowed to carry small pocket knife in your pocket? like attached to your key chain?
if i go camping or i go portaging (used as a tool not a weapon) what is the longest blade can i carry. because some survival knives are like 7" blade.
im not going to carry a survival knife or a camping knife on me when im in town its just stupid. but just as a camping knife/survival/portage knife
The way the law works is you can carry basically any knife on you (when I say any knife I mean depending where you are carrying it, a machete around town in the open is still going to cause a commotion, keep your application of knife within reason of length where you are carrying it.) as long as its not concealed, when its concealed it can be considered a weapon but that subject is pretty vague in the CCOC a knife is considered a tool until its used to cause bodily harm.
My EDC (Every Day Carry) is my Gerber Guardian Back Up its a fixed blade that's around 5" in length and it sits on my back right side in a Kydex locking sheath and only removes when its twisted and pulled up.. Its always in the open and usually makes people nervous for some reason when they see it.
I also want to recommend a great belt that every outdoors-men should have its made by 5.11 Tactical and its called an operators belt. The buckle has a breaking strength of 6,000lbs and the belt material is made from super strong nylon it can be used as an emergency harness if you need it.
I got it last summer and tested it by rappelling down a wall with it with held my weight no problem, then used it to tow my buddy's atv back to my house since the rope we had was too short. For 40.00 its a great piece of equipment to have.
