This is a part gun and part knife question

At work today I was showing a coworker my new Smith and Wesson S.W.A.T full size folder. He like it and was impressed but than says: "Be careful when you carry that around off base (we are active Air Force). You might get busted for carrying a concealed weapon." As soon as the words "concealed weapon" came out the converation turned to CCW permits.

So heres the question. Does a CCW cover knives, or only firearms? And do you need one to carry a knife like mine?

I live in Colorado. The knife is not automatic, although I keep it well oiled and can open very quickly. And the blade is under 4inches.

(mods: if this is not firearm related enough please feel free to delete)
