They do random searches in the NYC subway system these days. So anyone could get stopped. You don't need to look suspicious.
Sounds like a Fourth Amendment issue to me, I regularly carry one of these clipped onto my front right pocket or back pocket and have never had a problem with any LEO nor been questioned about it. I have been asked by bouncers to let them look at it - they always ask where I got it (grip on mine is a lot prettier than the one pictured)

Ohio has a very very grey area where knives are concerned - pretty much if its not a switchblade, balisong, or ballistic blade - there is nothing that I am aware of making a folding blade illegal to carry, however, there is a "deadly ordnance" law and knives count. I am fairly certain an Ohio CCW covers bladed weapons as well, but I still need to actually check on that, all the literature from the AG & Sheriff refers to firearms.

ยง ORC2923.12. Carrying concealed weapons.

(A) No person shall knowingly carry or have, concealed on the person's person or concealed ready at hand, any of the following:
(1) A deadly weapon other than a handgun;
(2) A handgun other than a dangerous ordnance;
(3) A dangerous ordnance.
But that is open to interpretation.
