California knife laws...

Uncle Ben · March 6, 2008, 01:53 PM

I have read through the law/codes for California, but still don't really have my answer. I basically want to know the max limit for the blade length for a folding/lockblade knife for Los Angeles County (if different from the rest of the state). Also, any insight regarding how it can be worn/concealed/etc would be great if anyone knows.

From what I've read, it just talks about other types of knives like daggers, switchblades, etc.

Thanks!

Here's a pretty good summary of state and county knife laws.. looks like 3" is your limit.

Thanks for that link. I guess I'll stick with the little 2 3/4" blade that I currently have.
