Just curious, have you ever carried a knife or blade that broke your state/city’s knife laws? (i.e. length, weight, form of ejection, serration etc.)

when I went down to mexico with my church youth group, i bought a fatty knife and “smuggled” it across the border…then it rusted and broke after like 5 days
Any “dangerous” blades not allowed. These classify as blades that open by centrifugal force etc. etc.
derks, daggers, spikes, butterfly knives not alowed fixed-blade knives are not allowed.
Technically, the one i have right now (a crkt denali) is not illegal, but I am able to open it with gravity (thumb stub. one flick and it slides open in 1/10th of a second), so its illegal.

If you pr!ck us, do we not bleed? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that the villany you teach me, I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction. MOV
For the life of me, I can’t find out what Nevada’s full knife/weapon regulations are (we’re full of cowboys and outlaws y’know). I know we can’t carry switchblades, balisong, stilettos (the shoes are legal, though…I see 'em on the strip all the time ;)), and obviously contraband knives (like that knive with the spike knuckles in the movie Cobra). But there are no regluations about blade length, folders, fixed blade, etc. I’ve asked a couple of people in law enforcement, but they don’t seem to know off hand.
On a side note, one day just off the strip in the not so nice part of town, we were shopping at Odessy (sp?) Records (they’re open 24/7) at around midnight, and we saw some guy walking down the street straight out of a clint eastwood movie. He had the hat, boots, and trenchcoat, slung open on his right to expose his “hand cannon” holstered on his hip. We just sat there staring as he walked tall down the street. It was kind of funny to see the people giving him a WIDE berth.
I have a benchmade “Black handled knife” which is the first run of the production automatic designeed for the seals-no markings, which I carry. Sometimes I carry an automatic “Bucknife”, which I picked up in Florida, both these I carry on a belt sheath. My Bowen belt buckle knife is always there,(I know one day, I’ll have to use it, and when I draw it, my pants will fall down!_listen to yer Mom’s advice-always wear clean underwear)My other knives, while not automatics, are still over 31/2" but I carry what I carry. Although good quality knives are expensive, you must view them all as throwaways.
I carry my katana all the time whemn I walk to my freinds house to train. And when I was younger I used to carry a set of throwing knives with me at all times.
When I got to Texas I got a copy of the State Criminal Code at the local community college (they sell them for 10 dollars to the Law Enforcement students). I looked up all the pertinent sections regarding Knives and weapons, cut them out, neatly folded them, and put them in my wallet.
The reason for this was 2-fold. 1, don’t assume cops KNOW what is legal and illegal. He might decide he doesn’t like the way you look and take your blade. 2, he might KNOW it’s legal and want one for himself. I had a guy try to take my Neely Aikuchi. I asked him what made it an illegal knife and he said I had it “concealed,” so I asked him which SubSection of the Illegal Knife statute said it had to be carried in the open. I pulled them out of my wallet and handed them to him. He threw them in the gutter and told me to get out before he cited me… I had to buy another copy ofthe Crim Code, but I kept my knife : )
Any time you want copies let me know. I’ve got the whole library of Texas Criminal Statues in my office.

You are legal carrying anything to and from class. Unless you are talking about a weapon with a silencer or an automatic weapon, or maybe an RPG, which you will have to buy a license for. However, it will be up to you to prove that it was just going to and from class.
